Consulting is the advisory side of our work as a Surrey marketing agency. If you would rather hand the work over entirely, our done-for-you Digital Marketing service covers the same channels.
What does a marketing consultant do?
A marketing consultant reviews what you are already doing, finds what is holding results back and tells you what to change first. The output is advice and a plan, not ongoing campaign management.
That makes consulting a good choice when you have people who can do the work but need an outside view on priorities. It also helps before you hire anyone, so you know what a sensible plan looks like.

Marketing Consultant services we offer
Expert advice, audits and strategy for business owners and in-house teams who want a clear plan before they spend.
Who hires a marketing consultant?
- Owners who manage their own Google Ads or Facebook ads and want to know what to fix
- Businesses with an in-house marketer who needs a plan and a second set of eyes
- Companies that want an independent review of work done by another provider
- Realtors and brokerages checking that their ads and profiles meet BCFSA advertising guidelines
- Clinics, trades and professional firms deciding where to spend a limited budget
- Ecommerce brands that need their tracking and attribution checked before scaling
What matters is that someone on your side can act on the recommendations, or that you plan to bring in help to implement them.
How our consulting services fit together
Most engagements start broad and then narrow to the channels that matter most for you. A typical path looks like this.
- 1
Diagnose
A Digital Marketing Audit or a competitor and market analysis shows where you stand against businesses competing for the same customers.
- 2
Set direction
Marketing Strategy Consulting turns those findings into goals, a channel mix and a budget plan.
- 3
Go deeper by channel
Specialist reviews such as SEO Consulting or Local SEO & Google Maps Consulting give channel-level fixes.
- 4
Measure properly
Marketing Analytics & GA4 Consulting makes sure calls, forms and sales are tracked, so decisions rest on real numbers.

What you receive from a consulting engagement
- Written findings in plain language, with screenshots where helpful
- A prioritised list of fixes and opportunities
- A roadmap showing what to do now, next and later
- Notes on tracking gaps in GA4, the Google tag or the Meta Pixel

We work only with the access you grant and do not need ownership of your accounts. Your business should own its ad accounts, analytics and Google Business Profile.
Consulting for Surrey, Lower Mainland and Canadian businesses
Local context changes the advice. Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, so a review for a Cloverdale contractor looks at different signals than one for a City Centre law office or a South Surrey dental clinic. We also check whether your service areas, ad locations and landing pages match the parts of Surrey and the Lower Mainland where your customers actually are.
We meet Surrey and Lower Mainland clients in person at our 152 Street office or at their business. Clients in other provinces work with us remotely, with findings shared through video calls and documents.
During my entire career, I have hired and tried many different Marketing Agencies but had best experience working with Tejas and his Team. They made the whole process really simple for me, which allowed me to focus more on my day-to-day activities. They helped generate and convert lots of online leads into conversions – using their system alone is worth hiring them! I can't recommend them enough.
Mathan MarkanduVivid Marketing clientFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between a marketing consultant and a marketing agency?
A marketing consultant advises: they review your marketing and recommend what to change. An agency does the work: it builds and runs campaigns for you. Vivid Marketing offers both, so you can start with consulting and move to done-for-you services later, or mix the two.
What access do you need for a consulting review?
Usually view or read access to Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, your ad accounts and your Google Business Profile. We do not need passwords or ownership. You grant access through each platform’s user settings and can remove it when the review is done.
Will you implement the recommendations?
We can, but you do not have to hire us for that. The roadmap is written so your in-house team or another provider can follow it. If you want us to implement part of it, we can quote for that work separately.
How much does marketing consulting cost?
Cost depends on how many channels we review, how much data and how many accounts are involved, and whether you want a one-time review or ongoing advice. A single-channel review takes less time than a full audit. Request the free analysis and we will suggest a scope that fits.
How long does a consulting review take?
It depends on the scope, how quickly access is granted and how much history your accounts hold. A focused review of one channel is shorter than a full audit covering ads, SEO, analytics and your website. We agree on the scope and expected timing before we start.
Can you review the work of our current agency?
Yes. An independent review checks campaign structure, tracking, targeting and reporting against what you are paying for. We share findings with you directly, explain them in plain language and flag which issues matter most, so you can decide what to raise with your provider and what to change.
Do you consult for businesses outside Surrey?
Yes. We work in person across Surrey and the Lower Mainland and remotely with businesses anywhere in Canada. Remote reviews follow the same process, with access granted online, findings shared in writing and walkthroughs held over video call so your whole team can join.
