Consulting
You Don't Need Someone to Do It For You — You Need Someone Who's Done It.
After years of running digital marketing for small businesses across Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley, I've learned something: most business owners don't need to hand everything off. They need a clear strategy, honest guidance, and someone in their corner who actually knows the local market.
That's what consulting with Bozeman Marketing Company looks like. Whether you're starting from scratch, stuck on something specific, or just want a second set of eyes on your marketing, I'll meet you where you are.
What We Can Work on Together
Marketing Strategy
Not sure where to focus your energy, or your budget? You're not alone. Most small business owners I talk to are juggling three platforms they don't love, a website that hasn't been touched in two years, and a vague sense that they should be doing more, but no clear idea of what "more" actually looks like for their business.
That's not a you problem. That's a strategy problem.
When we work on marketing strategy together, we slow down and actually look at the full picture: what you're already doing, what's getting traction, what's draining your time without much return, and where the real opportunities are.
No assumptions, no cookie-cutter plans. Just an honest assessment of where you are and a clear, prioritized roadmap for where to go next.
You'll leave knowing exactly what to focus on, and just as importantly, what to stop worrying about.
This is a good fit if you've ever caught yourself thinking:
-
"I feel like I'm doing all the things and nothing is working."
-
"I don't even know if what I'm doing is right for my type of business."
-
"I need someone to just tell me where to start."
If any of that sounds familiar, this is exactly what a strategy session is built for.
Social Media Strategy
Here's something the internet won't tell you: you probably don't need to be on every platform. You just need to be on the right ones, and actually show up there consistently.
Most small business owners I talk to aren't ignoring social media because they don't care. They're ignoring it because they never had a real plan to begin with. So it becomes the thing that gets pushed to the bottom of the list, until suddenly it's been six weeks since your last post and your feed looks like a ghost town. That's not laziness. That's what happens when you're running a business without a strategy behind your social presence.
When we work on social media together, we start by building that foundation. We'll get clear on who you're trying to reach, what you actually want social media to do for your business, and what kind of content makes sense for your brand.
From there, we'll put together a strategy that's realistic for your schedule, not one that assumes you have a full-time content team. The goal isn't perfection. It's consistency, intention, and content that actually sounds like you.
This is a good fit if you've ever thought:
-
"My social media looks inconsistent because it is — I just post whenever I remember."
-
"I don't have a brand voice, I just have vibes."
-
"I know what I want to say, I just don't know how to say it in a way that lands."
SEO Strategy
Everyone says you need SEO. Almost nobody explains it in a way that actually makes sense, or tells you what to do with that information.SEO has a reputation for being technical, mysterious, and expensive. But here's the truth: for most small businesses in Bozeman, the fundamentals aren't that complicated. They just require knowing what actually matters, and in what order.
When we work through SEO together, I'll start by looking at what you've already got your website, your Google Business Profile, how you're showing up in local search, and give you an honest picture of where you stand. Then we'll talk through what's actually going to move the needle for your specific business, whether that's cleaning up your on-page basics, building out local citations, or finally figuring out what keywords your customers are actually searching.
You won't leave with a 40-page report you'll never open. You'll leave with a clear, prioritized list of things to actually do, ranked by impact, explained in plain English.
This is a good fit if you've ever thought:
-
"I've Googled my own business and I have no idea why I'm not showing up."
-
"Someone told me to 'optimize my site' but I don't even know what that means."
-
"I just want someone to tell me what to fix first."
