Hi, I’m Neil Boland, aka the one man band at Gumbo Web Advice.

I help businesses plan their growth strategy utilising the internet. And I do this by educating a business—like yours—about how it all works, so they make better choices when engaging digital marketing-related services.

Knowledge is power. Oh, and it can save you a lot of money.

And once I’m done, I don’t hang around ‘on the books’ as a permanent salary expense. Get me on board for a contract, or just a consultation to explore what you can do with digital marketing, and then send me on my way.

All this is done in alignment with your business’s marketing goals and strategic direction (it’s okay if you don’t have one; I get it, not everyone is a big corporation).

Like a Gumbo stew, it’s all about the right ingredients for each individual business — do we emphasise SEO? SEM? EDM? Socials? A combination of all or a few? Do you even know what I’m talking about here?

Let’s get some clarity.

Why Hire a Digital Marketing Specialist or Consultant

BEFORE YOU SIGN UP TO ANYTHING/HIRE ANYONE, READ THIS.

Have you ever had these thoughts?

  • Digital marketing is worth investing in, but not the permanent salary* for me.

  • I have no idea where to start.

  • And I don’t know who to ask about creating a plan/roadmap for marketing my business online.

  • I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t jump onto every trend, platform, technique out there; it’s all so noisy, confusing and takes a lot of time and money.

  • [Insert more anxious/negative thoughts here]

Well, that’s what I’m here for — clarity, easy to understand concepts in digital, applicable to your business and goals.

As a Digital Marketing Consultant — What I Will Literally Do

I will listen. And then

  • Assess your business and its market. And then

  • See where you sit in the online space. And then

  • Identify which channels are most appropriate for making you seen, and bringing you customers/clients/leads/generally the right people to your business via the internet.

  • At the end: teach YOU what it all means, so you can make informed choices for utilising digital marketing for your business. And you’ll get a 3-6-month plan for improving your digital presence and performance.

Oh, and it’s all in alignment with your business’s marketing goals and strategic direction (it’s okay if you don’t have one; not everyone is a big corporation, I get it). Like a Gumbo, it’s all about the right ingredients for each individual business.

That pesky digital marketing industry.

I get it: daily messages in your emails or LinkedIn DMs about how you URGENTLY ‘need’ SEO, guest posting, SEM, a new website, even. And even though you’re not clear about what any of it is, it sounds pretty important, and inflames your FOMO big-time.

What everyone seems to do (you’re only human).

So, you reach out to someone, SOMEONE who can help, and you sign up for whatever THEY think you need — on a retainer, of course. And away we go. *Or, you hire a single-lane specialist to (granted) give you great value out of the gates, but you have them on the books permanently (for what feels like) forever as their value erodes for the rest of the race.

This can be a confusing and expensive recipe for failure online.

However — this is where Neil Boland’s Gumbo can help.

SEO Consultation.

People are looking for you.

Let me give you the best chance of being found by those people.

As a copywriter at the core, I research and understand what people are actually ‘Googling’ in relation to your business and apply best practices at all times. I offer one or all of:

  • Website audits — are you optimised for what your leads are searching for? Is your ‘engine room’ purring along for speed, user experience

  • Fresh ‘from scratch’ keyword-mapped copy for new websites.

  • An assessment and overhaul of existing content on the website you already have. A post-publication SEO optimisation, if you will.

If you’ve never explored SEO consultation before taking the financial plunge, or are curious, start here!

“Neil's knowledge of web marketing is amazing. His guidance has helped us do better online and to grow, through ideas tailored to our business.”
