Marketo consultant: a Marketo Engage instance that runs itself.

A Marketo consultant designs and looks after the programs, smart campaigns, scoring and lifecycle model inside Marketo Engage, and keeps it in sync with your CRM. I’ve been in Marketo since 2017. The aim is simple: campaigns launch from templates, leads move through stages on clear rules, and the reports match what sales sees.

  • Instance audit. Programs, smart campaigns, fields and sync health reviewed and prioritised.
  • Lifecycle model. Revenue stages with clear entry rules, reported in Marketo and your CRM.
  • Scoring. Behaviour and fit scoring rebuilt and tested against closed deals.
  • Program templates. Reusable webinar, content and nurture templates with tokens.

How we’ll do it.

  1. 1

    Look under the hood

    I go through your setup, data and workflows, then write down what’s leaking and the quick wins, in plain English.

  2. 2

    Build it with you

    We agree the fixes together. I build, test and document everything inside your own accounts.

  3. 3

    Hand you the keys

    A short training session and a written runbook, so your team can run it without needing me.

Tools I know inside out.

Questions people ask.

What does a Marketo consultant do?

Designs and maintains the inside of Marketo Engage: programs, smart campaigns, scoring, lifecycle, templates and the sync with your CRM, and trains your team to run it.

Can you help with Marketo and Salesforce sync issues?

Yes. Sync errors usually come from field mapping, permissions or conflicting update rules. I find the cause, fix the mapping and set up monitoring so new errors are caught early.

Should we move from Marketo to HubSpot?

Sometimes, but not always. Many Marketo problems are configuration problems that a migration would copy across. An audit first shows whether you need a cleaner Marketo or a different platform.

Do you offer ongoing Marketo support?

Yes, after the initial clean-up and build. Ongoing work is usually a set number of hours a month for new programs, reviews and fixes.
