For GTA Service Businesses

A marketing consultant who answers to your numbers, not your hopes.

Strategic audits, roadmaps, and KPI frameworks for GTA businesses ready to spend smarter.

Most marketing fails before a single ad is launched — the strategy was wrong, the KPIs weren't defined, or the channels didn't match the business. We diagnose where your marketing actually breaks, then build the roadmap to fix it.

Quick Answers

How much does a marketing consultant cost in the GTA?

Most strategic consulting engagements start at $1,000 for a one-time audit or $2,500/month for ongoing advisory. We don't charge by the hour — we charge by the outcome you're trying to reach.

Do I really need a marketing consultant before hiring an agency?

If you don't know which channel is working, which leads are profitable, or why your cost-per-acquisition keeps climbing — yes. Hiring an agency to execute the wrong strategy costs more than a consultant who fixes the strategy first.

How is a consultant different from a full-service marketing agency?

A consultant diagnoses and plans. An agency executes the plan. At CiCon, we do both — but most clients start with consulting because the strategy is broken, not the execution.

What does a marketing consultant actually deliver in 30 days?

A strategic audit of your current state, a prioritized roadmap of what to fix first, a KPI framework so you can measure progress, and a recommendation on which channels (paid, SEO, content, CRM) to invest in next.

Honest Marketing

This isn't for you if...

You want someone to validate what you're already doing.

We're hired to find what's broken. If the audit is going to confirm your current plan, we're not the right fit.

You expect a strategy without sharing real numbers.

We need access to your ad accounts, GA4, CRM, and revenue data. Strategy without data is guesswork — and we don't guess.

You're looking for the cheapest possible consultant.

Our minimum engagement is $1,000. If price is the deciding factor, you'll get better results from a marketing course than a consultant.

If you want a senior strategist who tracks every dollar and gives you the numbers straight — let's talk.

Capabilities

What we actually do

A consultant's job is to find what's broken, what's wasted, and what's missing — then build the plan to fix it. Here's how we do that for GTA businesses.

Strategic Audit

A strategic marketing audit is a structured diagnostic of your current channels, spend, attribution, and conversion infrastructure — the foundation every roadmap is built on.

We pull data from every channel you're running — Google Ads, Meta, GBP, GA4, your CRM, your email tool — and identify exactly where budget is being wasted, which channels are underperforming relative to potential, and where the conversion path is leaking leads. Deliverable: a written audit with prioritized findings and dollar-impact estimates per fix.

Marketing Roadmap

A marketing roadmap is a sequenced plan that tells you what to fix first, what to fix next, and what to leave alone — built around your specific revenue goals and budget.

Once we know what's broken, we build the rebuild plan. 30/60/90-day sprints with named deliverables, owner assignments (us, your team, or a recommended specialist), and weekly KPIs. No 47-page strategy decks nobody reads — just a plan you can execute against.

KPI & Tracking Setup

KPI and tracking setup is the infrastructure that connects every marketing dollar to a measurable business outcome — so you can stop optimizing for vanity metrics.

We rebuild your analytics stack: GA4 events, conversion tracking, GTM container, CRM pipeline stages, and a single dashboard that shows revenue-impact per channel. If you can't see what's working, you can't scale it — and most agencies skip this step entirely.

Channel Strategy

Channel strategy is the decision framework for which marketing channels — paid ads, organic SEO, local SEO, content, email, partnerships — match your business model, customer journey, and budget.

We don't recommend every channel to every client. A dental clinic needs different channels than a B2B SaaS startup. We map your audience's actual buying journey, identify the 2-3 channels where your budget will compound, and tell you which channels to ignore — even if they're popular.

Ongoing Advisory

Ongoing marketing advisory is a monthly engagement where a senior strategist reviews your performance, adjusts your roadmap, and keeps your team accountable to the plan.

After the audit and roadmap, most clients want a senior brain in the room monthly. We review what's working, what's not, and what to change — without taking over execution. Think of it as having a CMO on retainer, without the full-time salary.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a marketing consulting engagement take?
A strategic audit takes 2-3 weeks. The roadmap delivery is 1 week after that. Ongoing advisory engagements run monthly with quarterly strategy resets. Most clients see meaningful results from the roadmap within 30-60 days.
Will I work directly with the senior strategist or be handed to a junior?
Direct. Every CiCon consulting engagement is run by Majid Behzad personally. We deliberately keep our client roster small so this is possible. There's no account manager layer.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. The strategic audit is a one-time engagement. Ongoing advisory is month-to-month with a 30-day notice. We don't believe in locking clients into contracts to keep them — we keep them by delivering results.
Can you also execute the strategy after the audit?
Yes. About 60% of consulting clients move into execution with us after the roadmap — paid advertising, SEO, web development, or full-service marketing. But there's no pressure. If the roadmap is better executed by your in-house team or another agency, we'll say so.
What industries do you consult in?
Primarily GTA service businesses (dental, professional services, home services, retail) and SaaS startups. If your business runs on lead generation, we can probably help. If you're enterprise B2B with a 12-month sales cycle, we're probably not the right consultant.
What if the audit shows we don't need a consultant?
Then we tell you. About 1 in 5 audits ends with 'your current strategy is sound — keep doing what you're doing, here's what to monitor.' We don't manufacture problems to sell more work.
