Expert Consultation for Tech and Marketing Teams

Expert Consultation from Global One Digital is one-to-one strategic advice for founders, CMOs and CTOs who need senior-level input on SEO, web development, business process automation or digital marketing — without committing to a multi-month engagement. Our team has shipped enough projects across the USA, EU and CIS to give you grounded advice based on what we have actually seen working, not what is trending on LinkedIn.

What an Expert Consultation typically covers

Standard format: ninety-minute deep-dive call (or two forty-five minute calls for complex topics), agenda set in advance based on your situation, written summary delivered within two business days with prioritised recommendations, follow-up email questions for two weeks afterwards. Common topics: SEO strategy and technical audit interpretation, web development tech stack decisions, automation and integration architecture, hiring guidance for in-house teams, agency vendor selection.

When this format makes sense

You face a specific decision (rebuild versus refactor, hire versus outsource, switch platforms versus stay) and want senior input before committing budget. Your in-house team has hit a wall and needs an outside perspective unstuck them. You inherited a project from a previous team and need someone experienced to assess what is salvageable. You want a sanity check on a vendor proposal before signing. Single-meeting consultations cost less than weeks of internal back-and-forth and produce clearer decisions.

Who this is designed for

Founders making bet-the-company tech or marketing decisions and lacking senior advisors in their network. CMOs whose SEO has stalled and whose current agency is not giving straight answers. CTOs evaluating a major rebuild or migration. Operations leaders considering automation investments and unsure where to start. Russian-speaking entrepreneurs running US or EU operations who want bilingual senior advice grounded in both markets.

How to prepare for maximum value

The best consultations come from preparation. Before the call we ask you to share: a brief context document (one page max — current situation, decisions you are weighing, what success looks like), access to relevant analytics or reporting tools, any vendor proposals or internal docs you want reviewed, plus three or four specific questions you want answered. We come prepared with our own questions and a structured agenda. The result is a high-density ninety minutes rather than rambling discovery.

Common consultation outcomes

Clear go/no-go recommendation on a planned investment. Prioritised list of next-three-months actions for a specific challenge. Vendor selection guidance based on apples-to-apples comparison. Tech stack recommendation grounded in your team capabilities and roadmap. Fast diagnosis of broken setups (analytics, attribution, deliverability, indexation). Honest assessment of whether your current agency is doing the right work or just billing hours.

Pricing and follow-up options

Standard ninety-minute consultation with written summary: from one thousand two hundred dollars. Half-day deep dive (three hours plus written summary plus week of email follow-up): from three thousand. Multi-week strategic engagement (consultation series leading to a documented plan): from eight thousand. Most clients book a single consultation first to assess fit before committing to deeper engagements.

Why one-off advice over a full engagement

Most agencies sell long retainers because that is how their business model works — short engagements are operationally inefficient. We carve out specific consultation slots because clear advice from experienced practitioners has its own value, separate from execution. You buy clarity once, decide based on your own situation, and engage further only if it is the right fit. No pressure, no upselling — just senior input when you need it.
