Good to know
Finding a specialist you can count on
Hiring an independent marketer has real appeal. It's usually cheaper than an agency, and working with one person keeps decisions fast. The trouble starts when you try to find that person yourself on job boards or social media. Portfolios are polished beyond recognition and references are hard to confirm. Nobody reviews the output, and nobody steps in when the freelancer goes dark halfway through.
We do the screening for you. A specialist gets in only after a portfolio review, a knowledge test, a hands-on assignment, an interview and a reference check. You skip the scrolling and meet one person, or a small team, who has already worked in your industry.
Your project manager stays on the project, signs off on each milestone and acts when quality or pace slips. You get the oversight of a company with the flexibility of one independent pro. Our how it works page lays out the full process.
Side by side
A freelance marketing platform, a referral, an agency or us
A freelancer a friend recommended
Your friend saw one project, not your industry, so a good fit is mostly luck, and nobody checks the portfolio.
A marketing agency
A bigger bill covers office space, salespeople and margin, and your campaign often lands with whoever is free that month.
A specialist picked by us
One screened person chosen for your sector within a day, with a confirmed portfolio and a seasoned project manager overseeing everything.
Step by step
How we pick your specialist
Step 1
We talk through your project
On a free call, we cover scope, industry and budget, and whether you need one channel handled or broader marketing help.
Step 2
The project manager makes the pick
You receive one freelancer's profile, with real work in your industry behind it.
Step 3
You talk, then decide
You speak with that person for free, on your own schedule. The decision is yours, and the project manager explains why this person suits your goal.
Step 4
Work starts, with oversight
From kickoff on, the same project manager joins every milestone review. A missed date or a sloppy draft gets caught early and fixed while it's still small.
Who it's for
Who this setup works for
It suits companies that want to talk directly with the person doing the work and keep the scope flexible.
Small companies watching every dollar
A full-time hire or an agency is out of reach, but you need one specific job done well at a fair price.
Online stores
You need someone for product campaigns or store SEO who understands ecommerce and is measured on results.
Startups testing their marketing
You want proof a channel works before building a team around it, and an independent specialist lets you test without a long commitment.
Companies a freelancer has burned before
Someone already vanished on you mid-project. This time you want a screened specialist, plus one accountable person who lines up a backup if needed.
Agencies looking for a subcontractor
You need a freelancer for one job outside your own specialty, with full confidentiality and simple billing.
What you get
What you get when freelance digital marketing services come through us
Skip the search: the screening is already done, the pick is based on your industry, and a senior project manager oversees the work.
A verified portfolio and references
We confirm identity and real results before anyone joins, so you're not taking the freelancer's word for it.
Industry experience
We pick someone for your scope and sector who has done similar work, not whichever freelancer happened to be free that week.
A plan and files kept in one place
The project manager sets the plan with you at kickoff and keeps every agreement and file in one place, so you always know where the project stands.
Someone who reviews the work before you do
You have one person to turn to from the first brief onward. The project manager reviews each stage before it reaches you and measures the work against the plan.
What to know
What a freelance marketer costs
These ranges reflect the US freelance market and depend on the consultant's experience and how much work you hand off.
A single task
$75 to $200 an hour for an audit, a consultation or a one-time job. You're billed hourly, with no subscription, and the scope and deadline are set up front.
Ongoing work on one channel
From about $1,500 a month for one specialist who handles a single area on a steady basis, such as freelance social media marketing or paid campaigns.
Several channels at once
From about $3,500 a month for a specialist on each channel, say search ads plus freelance email marketing, all working from one plan with shared reporting.
What you can count on
Peace of mind from a screened freelancer, a careful pick and a project manager
Every specialist we introduce has passed a portfolio review, and a project manager oversees the engagement and keeps its quality and deadlines on track.
Portfolio
Screened before the first task
We confirm identity, portfolio and real results before a freelancer joins, so the work you see is theirs and hasn't been dressed up.
Scope fit
Chosen for your industry
You get someone chosen for your sector, scope and budget, not the first contractor who's free on a job board.
15+ years
Oversight from one seasoned person
A seasoned project manager follows your project and keeps the deadlines and the scope on track.
Monthly
A report every month
Each month the project manager walks you through what your freelancer delivered and the plan for the month ahead, so you always know what comes next.
Checklist
How to size up a freelance digital marketing consultant
Before you start, check a few things that separate a dependable freelancer from a roll of the dice.
Checklist
- Get real projects with measurable outcomes, not a string of job titles
- Ask to speak with a company where they handled a similar scope for several months
- Settle how and when each milestone gets paid before any work starts
- Ask who, besides the freelancer, checks the work and keeps each deadline in view
- Expect reports that show outcomes, not vague claims about reach
- Make sure they know how your industry works and don't just run a template

FAQ
Questions companies ask us
Short answers. The free analysis call covers anything specific to your company.
01How much does a freelance marketing consultant cost?
In the US, a single task billed hourly runs $75 to $200 an hour, and steady work on one channel usually starts around $1,500 a month. Several channels at once generally start near $3,500 a month. You'll get an exact figure after the free consultation.
02How quickly can I hire a freelance marketing consultant through you?
You'll meet your specialist within 24 hours of the first call about your project. Their profile shows real work in your industry, and you can take as long as you need to decide.
03How is this different from a freelancer website?
On an open freelancer site, you check portfolios yourself and can't be sure the work is real. We verify every freelancer's identity, portfolio and results before they join, then pick one for your industry. A senior project manager with 15+ years of experience oversees the work, so a digital marketing consultant found this way arrives already vetted.
04Who handles billing when a freelancer works on my project?
You pay us, not an individual on the side, no matter how many freelancers end up on the project. The project manager is your single point of contact for questions about scope, schedule and billing.
05Who keeps the freelancer's work on my project on schedule?
The project manager reviews every milestone and holds the work to the schedule set at kickoff, so you always know how far the project has come and what is due next. A senior marketer with 15+ years of experience, they check each stage before it reaches you.
06Can I bring in a freelancer for just one short task?
Yes. A short hourly job is as easy for us to staff as steady monthly work across several channels. Plenty of companies start with one task and expand once they see how the engagement goes.
