Ongoing marketing advisory with Chris Heidlebaugh — a Digital Marketing Coach with 25+ years of experience — for owners and leadership teams who already have people and vendors and need senior judgment, not training. From $5,000/mo, or $1,500 per strategy intensive. By application only.
This is the Advise-Me path — for owners and leadership teams who already have people and vendors and need senior judgment in the room, not training. From $5,000/mo, or $1,500 for a single strategy intensive. By application only. Most owners start with the $497 Marketing Audit so advisory time goes to decisions, not diagnosis.
Sound Familiar?
- —You're spending money on ads but can't tell if they're actually working
- —Your agency sends reports full of metrics that mean nothing to you
- —You know you need a better marketing strategy — but don't know where to start
- —You've been burned by vendors who overpromise and underdeliver
- —Your website gets traffic but almost no leads or calls
You don't need another agency. You don't need another course. You need one hour with someone who's been doing this for 25+ years and can tell you exactly what to fix.

Budget Clarity

Growth Roadmap
A step-by-step plan for the next 30, 60, and 90 days — so you know exactly what to do when the call ends.
Vendor Accountability
Find out if your agency or freelancers are actually delivering results — or just billing you for busywork.

Want the work done for you? Done With You Marketing is the fit. Want your team trained? Start with the Blueprint.
Who this is for
Best for owners who've completed the Insourced Marketing Blueprint™, or have $8M+ in revenue with a marketing person already in seat and an agency or in-house team to direct. Chris advises; your team executes. If you haven't had a $497 Marketing Audit yet, that's the faster place to start.
Application
Apply for Coaching & Consulting
Advisory is limited and starts with a call — no instant checkout. Tell Chris where the company is and what decisions are on the table.
So, what do you do now?
Start with the audit. Then pick who fixes it.
The scorecard told you where you stand. The $497 Marketing Audit tells you exactly what to fix first — then you choose one of three ways to get it done.

Quick questions about the audit
What exactly does the audit cover?
A 30-minute personalized video walkthrough of your website, technical SEO, Google Business Profile, local and AI search rankings, reviews, competitors, and public social presence — what's working, what's broken, where you're losing leads, and the biggest opportunities. It's all done from what's publicly visible, so you never hand over passwords or account access.
How do I get my 90-day roadmap?
You receive your prioritized 90-day action roadmap alongside the video walkthrough in your inbox within 5 business days of acceptance and payment. It's yours to keep — implement it yourself, hand it to your team, or have us run it.
What happens right after I check out?
After your $497 payment clears, you're sent straight to a short intake form so Chris can tailor the audit to your real business — your website, your city, and your biggest concerns. Once you submit, Chris records your walkthrough and roadmap, and you get a confirmation email with a link to track your audit status.
What if nothing is wrong with my marketing?
That's a great outcome — and you still get the full $497 value. Chris isn't here to invent problems or manufacture urgency, so if everything's solid, the audit confirms exactly what's working and why, points out the few things worth tuning to squeeze out more, and hands you a 90-day roadmap focused on protecting and compounding what you've built rather than fixing what isn't broken. You get the same 30-minute video walkthrough, the same prioritized roadmap, and the same plain-English explanation of where you stand — just with a 'keep doing this' verdict instead of a 'fix this' list. Either way you leave with confidence and clarity, not a sales pitch.
Why is the audit delivered as a video?
Because a PDF can bury the real issues behind charts and jargon and leave you more confused than you started. Chris records a live walkthrough so you can see, with your own eyes, exactly what's broken, where leads are leaking, and the specific fixes that would move the needle — not a confusing report you have to decode. It's the difference between reading a diagnosis and watching the doctor walk you through it.
Ready? Buy Your Audit and Chris gets to work.
Not sure where to start?
Start with the $497 Marketing Audit for a personalized video walkthrough and 90-day roadmap. Then choose DIY, build in-house, or have us run it. Private strategy is available when you need Chris personally.
From $5,000/mo. By Application Only.
Monthly advisory keeps a senior operator in the room for every major marketing decision. Prefer a single session? A strategy intensive is $1,500. Reserved for owners and leadership teams investing $5k+/mo in marketing.
Apply NowFrequently Asked Questions
How much does coaching and consulting cost?
Monthly advisory starts at $5,000/month and runs up to $7,500 depending on scope. A single strategy intensive is $1,500. Both are by application only — there is no instant checkout.
What is included in monthly advisory?
Two strategy sessions per month, marketing KPI and scorecard review, budget and channel review, agency and vendor performance review, access for major marketing decisions, and a quarterly strategy reset. The first 90 days are committed, then it is month-to-month.
What happens in a strategy session?
Chris reviews your current marketing — website, ads, SEO, lead flow, analytics — answers your specific questions, and gives you a prioritized action plan you can execute immediately. You also get the recording to share with your team.
Why is this application only?
Chris's advisory time is limited, and it only works when the fit is right. The application asks for your revenue, marketing spend, and biggest bottleneck so he can tell you honestly whether advisory, a Marketing Audit, or Train Your Team is the better move.
Who is coaching and consulting for?
Owners, CEOs, leadership teams, marketing directors and CMOs who already have people and vendors in place and are investing roughly $5k+/month in marketing. Chris advises; your team executes.
Do I need to do the Marketing Audit first?
Not required, but the $497 Marketing Audit gives Chris a head start so advisory time goes to decisions instead of diagnosis. If you are smaller or unsure, the audit is the faster place to start.
How is this different from Train Your Team?
Train Your Team teaches your staff to run marketing in-house, powered by the Insourced Marketing Blueprint™. Coaching and consulting is Chris advising you and your leadership directly — no curriculum and no employee training program.
Is there a refund policy?
No. Advisory is custom strategic advice — once the work is delivered, fees are non-refundable. You can reschedule a session at no charge with at least 24 hours notice.
Can I bring my marketing team to the call?
Absolutely. Bring your marketing coordinator, agency, or business partner — there's no per-seat charge.
