Small Business Marketing Consultant
Small business owners don't need more marketing buzzwords. They need more customers, and to know which dollars brought them in. I'm Roman, a former CMO and a small business owner myself. Globe Throttle Marketing helps small businesses build simple marketing systems that pay for themselves.
The small business marketing problem
Most small business owners are doing marketing on top of running the whole business. They boost a post, try a mailer, pay for an SEO package they don't understand, and still can't tell what's working. The fix usually isn't more marketing. It's fewer, better things, measured properly.
What I help small businesses with
- A clear offer. A real reason for customers to choose you this week.
- Paid ads that work. Facebook, Instagram and Google ads aimed at local buyers or online customers.
- A simple landing page. One page, one offer, one next step.
- Fast follow up. Text and email so leads don't go cold.
- Tracking. Knowing what each customer cost you, so you can spend more on what works.
- A plan. What to do, what to skip, and what to stop paying for.
Why a business owner as your consultant
I own businesses too. I know what payroll weeks feel like, how little time owners have, and how frustrating it is to pay for marketing that can't prove it works. I spend your budget the way I spend my own.

Based in North Idaho, serving Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and small businesses across the US.
What I do and don't do
I'm a performance marketer, not a do-everything agency. My lane is paid ads on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google and TikTok, plus the pieces that make ads pay off: tracking, landing pages, offers, email and SMS, and creator partnerships. I don't post on your social media every day or sell you a $300 a month SEO package. If that's what you need, I'll tell you and point you to someone good.
