In short

What does a digital marketing consultant do?

A digital marketing consultant is a specialist who defines the strategy for a business to grow online and directs the tactics that make it happen: SEO, advertising on Google and social media, content, AI automation and analytics. Unlike an agency that sells fixed packages, a good consultant starts from your business goals, prioritizes what generates the most return, and measures every dollar invested.

What to look for before hiring one:

  • Provable experience and real cases in your industry.
  • Focus on business metrics (leads and sales), not vanity metrics.
  • Combined command of SEO, paid media and applied AI.
  • Full transparency in reporting and ROI measurement.

How I work

What does a digital marketing consulting engagement with me look like?

Four phases. Each one ends with a deliverable, and you can stop at any of them if you don't see value.

01

Diagnosis

A free 30-minute conversation to understand the business. If we continue, I review your analytics, website, paid media and competitors, and tell you what is holding growth back.

02

90-day plan

Priorities ordered by return, measurable goals (leads, sales, cost per customer) and what to stop doing. A short, concrete plan is worth more than an 80-slide strategy.

03

Execution

Done by your team with my guidance or by the btodigital team. I oversee the strategy and the decisions that move results.

04

Monthly measurement

A dashboard with business metrics and a meeting to decide what to adjust. No vanity metrics.

Honestly, the references class helped me a lot in my personal life. I was at a moment when I needed to find my purpose and it also related a lot to the digital world. Now that I'm reviewing the presentations, I feel that everything fits perfectly.

Excellent experience with Carlos Betancur, a presentation full of knowledge in the marketing area, where I learned one of the most important points: "Cobbler's children should not go barefoot". What a great vision!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a digital marketing consultant in Colombia?

It depends on the scope: a few hours a month of strategic guidance is not the same as a comprehensive project with execution. It is quoted after the free 30-minute assessment, with clear goals and return measured from the first month.

What does a digital marketing consultant do?

A digital marketing consultant designs and implements strategies to grow your business online. This includes SEO, Google and Meta advertising, content strategy, AI automation and data analytics. The goal is to increase visibility, generate qualified leads and improve return on investment.

How long does it take to see results from digital marketing?

Paid media results (Google Ads, Meta Ads) can be seen within 2–4 weeks. Organic SEO typically requires 3–6 months to show significant impact. A comprehensive strategy combines both: quick wins through paid advertising while organic positioning matures.

Do you work with businesses outside Colombia?

Yes. While my base is in Medellín, Colombia, I work with businesses throughout Latin America and with international companies looking to enter or expand in the Latin American market. I work fully remote and consult in both Spanish and English.

What makes AI-powered marketing different?

A consultant who integrates AI (specifically Claude by Anthropic) can produce more content, analyze data faster and automate repetitive tasks without scaling the team. With Claude, the AI model from Anthropic, I build workflows to produce, review and measure content and campaigns with the same team. Strategy and judgment stay human; AI removes the repetitive work.

What is the difference between digital marketing consulting and an agency?

Consulting decides what to do and in what order, and measures whether it worked; an agency executes. I do the consulting and, when execution is needed, the btodigital team (my agency) or your own team with my guidance handles it. That way you do not pay for a closed package of tactics you may not need.

Do you work with small businesses or only large corporations?

With businesses of every size: from entrepreneurs and small Colombian companies to multinationals operating in Latin America. The strategy adapts to the budget and the goals. What matters is being clear about who you sell to and what result you want.
