More buyers now ask an assistant for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. If your brand is not in those answers, you are invisible at the moment someone is ready to choose.
I work on both: classic rankings on Google and Bing, and citations inside the answer engines people now use. Read how to get recommended by ChatGPT or see SEO, AEO and GEO services.

Aoun Zia is a full-stack marketing consultant with 12 years of experience. He plans and runs paid media, organic social, SEO and AI search, creative, web, cloud, CRM and analytics for brands in the Americas, the Middle East and Europe. He is a Chartered Marketer and MCIM member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and a Toptal Verified Expert in Marketing, and trades as AZ Marketing & Web Design.
A marketing consultant works out how a business should attract and convert customers, then improves it: strategy, channels, budgets, content, tracking and reporting. Aoun also runs the work himself, across paid ads, social, SEO, AEO and GEO, web, email and CRM.
It depends on scope. Consultants charge by the hour, by the project or with a monthly retainer. Aoun quotes a fixed monthly or project price after a free marketing audit, so you know the cost before you commit. Quotes and invoices are in US dollars, pounds sterling or euros.
A full-stack marketer can plan and run every part of marketing, from strategy and paid ads to social, SEO, creative, web, email, CRM and analytics, instead of specialising in one channel. For a growing brand, that means one accountable person instead of several freelancers or an agency team.
