    When a consultant fits

    A consultant can help diagnose channel mix, offer, tracking, and internal process when the clinic has implementation resources.

    When an agency fits

    An agency fits when the clinic needs execution across ads, SEO, creative, landing pages, and reporting, but the scope must still be judged by lead quality.
