Digital strategy before writing code.

Before investing in a website, branding, SEO or ads — clarity. We help you decide what to build, in what order and with what budget, so every dollar you invest adds to the same objective. No technology for trend's sake, no wasted spend.

70% of digital projects fail due to poor initial definition.

Paying the wrong freelancer, choosing Shopify when you need custom, spending on ads before having a converting product. The decisions that cost the most money aren't the code ones — they're the ones made before. A $1,200 USD consultation typically saves 5 to 10 times that amount in avoidable mistakes.

Strategic clarity

You know what to build and why. Every digital investment has a clear business case that your team and you understand.

Prioritized roadmap

30, 60 and 90-day plan. We start with what has the most impact for the least investment — not what looks most flashy.

Right stack

WordPress vs Shopify vs custom; CMS vs static; agency vs freelancer. Every decision with technical and business criteria.

Independence

We leave you a plan executable by any provider. We don't marry you to Cero Studio — you choose who implements.

What's included

Frequently asked

What people ask the most.

How much does digital consulting cost in Mexico?

Half-day discovery workshop (4 hours) with roadmap deliverable: from $499 USD. Complete consulting with audit, roadmap, stack and oversight for 2–4 weeks: $1,200 to $3,000 USD by scope. If you then hire development or SEO with Cero Studio, the consulting cost is credited to the project.

What deliverables do I receive?

Digital roadmap PDF (30/60/90 days), justified stack recommendation, budgeting per initiative, build vs. buy matrix, KPI guidelines, recommended providers list (if applicable) and 1-page executive summary for your management team.

How long does the process take?

Discovery workshop: half day + 3 days for deliverable. Complete consulting: 2 to 4 weeks by scope. If the decision is urgent, we can compress to 1 week with daily focused sessions.

Do I need to have an internal tech team?

No. One of the questions we answer in the consulting is precisely "do I need an internal team or outsource?". We tell you what roles you really need, what you can outsource and how to evaluate providers. If you decide to execute yourself, we leave you a plan a freelancer or small team can follow without us.

Does this work for SMBs or only large companies?

Especially useful for SMBs and entrepreneurs. Large companies have internal areas that fulfill this function. SMBs typically lose a lot of money by deciding wrong technology, hiring the wrong freelancer or investing in marketing before having a product. A $1,200 USD consultation easily saves 5 to 10 times that amount in avoidable mistakes.

What happens after the consulting?

Three paths: (1) you execute internally with your team using our roadmap; (2) you hire Cero Studio to implement and the consulting cost is credited; (3) you hire monthly oversight where we supervise the implementation of another provider so it doesn't deviate from the plan. You choose based on budget and internal capacity.
