Think before you spend
Think First is Consultico's entry-point workshop for B2C brands doing £50K+/month. As marketing consultants in Glasgow, we map your channels, economics, and growth path before you commit budget to SEO, PPC, or web.
- ROI projections before you spend
- Visual examples mapped to your brand
- Absolute clarity - guaranteed
We're committed to making sure you understand your plan as well as we do. If anything isn't crystal clear, we keep working until it is.
Made for B2C brands doing £50K+/month and ready to grow deliberately.
Strategy first. Then the channels that earn their place.
We start with a clear plan, then deliver SEO, web design, PPC, content, and generative engine optimisation (GEO) from our Glasgow consultancy. Every service compounds from the same strategy, so channels reinforce each other instead of competing for budget.

Most businesses spend money on marketing before they genuinely understand what their marketing is doing for them. How does your social media presence actually connect through to your website? Are you tracking which channels are driving revenue and which ones are quietly burning budget with nothing to show for it? These are the questions most business owners cannot answer with real confidence, and that is exactly the problem we are built to solve.
Think First is our flagship strategy workshop - a structured process that maps out your entire marketing landscape before a single pound is committed to a campaign. Using our S.T.E.P. framework, we build a clear picture of where your marketing stands today, where the gaps are, and the most direct path to where you need to be. Every Consultico client relationship starts with our Think First strategy workshop, because without a clear strategy, everything else is guesswork.

Results you can measure
Our SEO for tradesmen work includes The Boiler Co, a Bristol-based plumbing business that filled its calendar through organic search within three months when paid ads had to pause. Over more than 14 months of retained work, weekly impressions grew from approximately 8,000 to a peak above 21,000.

The Boiler Co.SEO - 14+ months
The Boiler Co is a Bristol-based trades business where a full calendar is everything. With an average job value of £1,200 and a team to keep busy, inconsistent lead flow isn't just an inconvenience - it threatens the whole operation. Since working with Consultico, the team has grown - a sign of a business that's now able to take on more work consistently.
The Situation. When they came to Consultico, lead generation was stalling. They were relying entirely on paid advertising, and it was becoming unpredictable. At one point, performance issues forced them to pause paid ads altogether. With no organic presence to fall back on, their diary was at the mercy of whatever their ad spend was doing on any given week.
What We Did. We identified SEO as the missing piece. Not as a replacement for paid - as a foundation that would keep working regardless of what happened with ad budget. We built and implemented a full SEO strategy focused on high-intent search terms - people actively looking for boiler services in their area, ready to book. Within three months, The Boiler Co reported that their calendar was getting consistently filled through organic search alone.
The Outcome. When paid ads had to be paused, SEO kept the business running. That's the result that matters most - not a percentage uplift on a dashboard, but a team of four staying busy and a business that stopped being dependent on a single channel. In terms of search performance, a typical week when we started showed around 8,000 impressions and 20 clicks - low volume, low intent. After consistent work, that peaked above 21,000 impressions and 55 clicks in the same week, with significantly higher intent traffic converting into booked appointments. Average position improved from 37.8 to 13.7. The Boiler Co were a retained SEO client for over 14 months and returned for additional website work.
21,000 Weekly impressions. In terms of search performance, a typical week when we started showed around 8,000 impressions. After consistent work, that peaked above 21,000 impressions.
3x Click growth. A typical week when we started showed around 20 clicks. After consistent work, that peaked at 74 clicks in a week.
14+ Months retained. The Boiler Co have now been a retained SEO client for over 14 months. They've since returned for additional website work.
3 Months to results. Within three months, The Boiler Co reported that their calendar was getting consistently filled through organic search alone.

Norfolk BoardsWebsite Refresh - Strategy Advisory
Norfolk Boards sells American garden games into the British market across three sites, Cornhole and Shuffleboard among them. They had built genuine SEO authority on their core product keyword over several years - enough to sustain a seasonal summer sales cycle. But outside of that one ranking, there was almost nothing. No real marketing infrastructure, no social presence, no email activity.
The Situation. They had built genuine SEO authority on their core product keyword over several years - enough to sustain a seasonal summer sales cycle. But outside of that one ranking, there was almost nothing. No real marketing infrastructure, no social presence, no email activity. A couple of years of slowing sales had made it clear that a single SEO asset wasn't enough to carry the business forward. They came to Consultico through a recommendation from a previous agency, initially looking for a website refresh. What we found suggested the need for something more substantial.
What We Did. We started with a Think First consultation - getting under the hood of the business, understanding the strategy, and mapping out where the real opportunities were. From there, we refreshed all three of their websites as a package, tightening the user experience, improving conversion pathways, and adding new CTAs and promotions throughout. We solidified their existing SEO foundations and looked at how to extend their reach beyond the one keyword they had been relying on. Their product photography was holding them back visually, so we overhauled it at minimal cost using online tools - the same quality output, without the expense of a professional shoot. We reactivated their dormant email marketing list, giving them a direct channel to existing customers they hadn't been using. A new Instagram account was launched and is now growing, with a social media strategy in development focused on awareness and community building. UGC video creative work is underway to expand reach and lay the groundwork for paid advertising when the time is right.
The Outcome. A brand that arrived with one working channel now has a proper marketing infrastructure - website, SEO, email, social, and a paid advertising pipeline in development. The business has moved from reactive and seasonal to structured and building. Consultico continues to work with them as part of their ongoing marketing advisory team.
3 Websites refreshed. From there, we refreshed all three of their websites as a package, tightening the user experience, improving conversion pathways, and adding new CTAs and promotions throughout.

4 Channels activated. A brand that arrived with one working channel now has a proper marketing infrastructure - website, SEO, email, social, and a paid advertising pipeline in development.

Tiny ChangesPodcast Promotion - Social Media
Tiny Changes is an Edinburgh-based mental health charity. In late 2025, they completed recording a six-episode podcast series - but with the content in the can, they needed a team to handle the release and promotion. They came to Consultico through a recommendation, looking for end-to-end support getting the series out to the widest possible audience.
The Situation. Tiny Changes is an Edinburgh-based mental health charity.

They came to Consultico through a recommendation, looking for end-to-end support getting the series out to the widest possible audience.
What We Did. We took on the full release and promotion process for the series. Each episode was uploaded to Podcastics and YouTube, with captions edited by hand and descriptions written and optimised for each platform. Nothing was automated or templated - every episode was treated individually. Alongside the audio releases, we worked with the Tiny Changes team to understand what they wanted each episode to communicate, then turned the long-form content into short social media clips. These were distributed across Instagram and Facebook, with each clip crafted to work natively on the platform it was posted to. Four of the six episodes have been released so far. A TikTok rollout is in development to drive a second wave of interest and reach a new audience as the series builds momentum.
The Outcome. In the first 30 days, the campaign generated over 110,000 views on Instagram alone, with an additional 13,000 reach on Facebook. The strongest episode hit over 140 YouTube views within 24 hours of release and continues to grow. For a charity podcast with no existing audience on launch, these are significant numbers - built entirely through organic content strategy, with no paid promotion. The campaign is ongoing. With two episodes still to release and TikTok distribution coming, the numbers will continue to build.
110k Instagram views. In the first 30 days, the campaign generated over 110,000 views on Instagram alone.
13k Facebook reach. In the first 30 days, the campaign generated over 110,000 views on Instagram alone, with an additional 13,000 reach on Facebook.
140+ YouTube views. The strongest episode hit over 140 YouTube views within 24 hours of release and continues to grow.
4/6 Episodes released. Four of the six episodes have been released so far.
