Choose your model.
Strategy & Consulting
Discovery, audits and roadmaps with a senior strategist. Web, CRM and software projects start here with paid discovery, usually two to six hours.
Numbers Call
A paid working session on your real numbers: average sale, close rate, capacity, acquisition cost. You leave with a written scope and a fixed quote you can take anywhere. Credited 100% to your first month if you go ahead.
AI Consulting
Where AI fits in your marketing, which tools to adopt, and how to implement without chaos. Billed by the half hour, so a focused thirty minutes is $250.

The process.
- 01
Intake & Scoping
A short call to understand your challenge and decide between an hour of consulting, a Numbers Call, or a retainer. You get a scope before you pay for anything.
- 02
Discovery & Research
We review your data, interview stakeholders, audit existing efforts, and research your market before we give any recommendations.
- 03
Analysis & Recommendations
Clear, prioritized findings delivered in a format you can act on — not a 100-slide deck. We tell you what to do, why, and in what order.
- 04
Implementation Support
We don't just hand you a plan and disappear. Optional execution support, team training, and check-ins to make sure it actually gets done.
Consulting, answered.
How is consulting different from your Fractional CMO service?
Consulting is hourly or project-based — we guide and advise. Fractional CMO is ongoing leadership on a monthly tier — we lead and run the function. Think of consulting as the architect and Fractional CMO as the general contractor.
Can I start with an hour and grow from there?
Yes. Many clients start with an hour or a Numbers Call to test the fit, then move into a retainer or a project. The Numbers Call fee is credited in full to your first month.
Why do you charge for discovery?
Because the plan is the valuable part. Web, CRM and software projects start with paid discovery at $500 an hour, usually two to six hours. You get a written scope and a fixed quote you can take anywhere.
Do you consult for agencies or just brands?
Both. We advise agencies on strategy, operations, pricing, and service expansion, and we help brands evaluate and manage their agency relationships.
How quickly can we get started?
Consulting hours can usually be booked within a few days. If it's a fit, we scope discovery or send a fixed quote within a week.

My company reached out to Clicking Awesome on a referral basis. With so many web designers out there we did not know as a company who to look for. After a Zoom meeting with Nick and Nicole outlining design choices and how they could bring our company to the next level, we knew we had the right team. They kept us involved in the development of our site and were flexible on what we were looking for. Due to the quality finished product they delivered, our company has seen much more traffic to our site.
Just teamed up with Clicking Awesome, and they truly are AWESOME! Seriously loving the cool ideas they brought to the table for our marketing. Super easy to work with, and they know their stuff. Big thumbs up!
