Skyfall Now Sells the Plan Separate From the Work
Skyfall Digital Media started as a website, SEO, and hosting company. That work still exists. What was missing was a way to buy judgment without buying a production retainer.
As of September 10, 2026, that offer is live.
Marketing consulting is now a product line: a paid marketing audit, a 90-day strategy sprint, and fractional CMO leadership. You can use us for thinking only. You can hand execution to our team after the plan is set. You can take the plan to another vendor. No mandatory long-term contract.
Most companies do not need a bigger agency first. They need someone senior enough to decide where the budget should go.
What we shipped
The hub
Marketing consulting services — what a consultant does, when to hire one, what it costs, and how consulting differs from an agency.
Three productized offers
| Offer | What you buy | Typical investment |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing audit | Diagnosis: site, search, ads, tracking, follow-up, ranked fixes | $3,000–$8,000 |
| 90-day strategy sprint | Positioning, channel stack, roadmap you can run | $8,000–$18,000 |
| Fractional CMO | Part-time leadership, about 10–15 hours a month | $5,000–$12,000/month |
The audit tells you what is broken. The sprint tells you what to do next, in order. The fractional seat stays in the chair and runs the plan.
Two comparison pages (for people choosing a model, not buying a package yet)
Law firms, split on purpose
- Strategy: law firm marketing consulting
- Production after the brief exists: law firm digital marketing
That split is the whole point of the night. Consulting is not a disguised pitch for a larger retainer. If the audit says pause ads and fix the site, that is the recommendation.
Why this is not “another service bullet”
Agencies get paid to produce. Consultants get paid to decide. Mixing them in one vague “digital marketing” paragraph is how owners buy activity against the wrong bet.
We also updated the homepage and services overview so the firm describes itself the same way the new pages do: plan first when the budget is unclear; build and run the work when the plan is set.
The free SEO analysis is still a tool. It is not the paid audit. If you only want a scan, use the tool. If you are about to spend or hire, buy the diagnosis.
Who this is for
Owners and operators who have a site and some spend, but no operating system for marketing. Local and regional businesses in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Courtland, and the rest of Virginia. Remote clients who can grant analytics access and make decisions on a call.
If you only want posts published or ads turned on, you want execution — see services. If the owner is still the CMO and that is blocking growth, start on the consulting hub.
How to start
Bring the last 90 days of results if you have them: traffic, leads, ad spend, close rate. If you do not have those numbers, that is the first problem we will name.
