Digital strategy consultancy in Kenya: hire us for the thinking
Some organisations have a marketing team and need a plan, an audit or a second opinion rather than an agency on retainer. Digital Orbit offers SEO and AI search audits, digital strategy workshops, website briefs and vendor evaluation as standalone consultancy. You walk away with a documented plan you can run yourself, hand to your team, or bring back to us to execute. No obligation either way.
- SEO and AI search visibility audits
- Digital marketing strategy workshops
- Website and rebuild briefs
- Agency and vendor evaluation
- Team training and handover
- Fixed-fee, no retainer required

How consultancy helps organisations in Kenya
Independent advice with nothing to sell you afterwards
Most agency audits are sales documents. Ours are not tied to a retainer, so the recommendations are the ones we would make for ourselves: fix this first, skip that entirely, this vendor is overcharging you. If the right answer is that you do not need an agency, we say so in writing.
Built for in-house teams, NGOs and growing companies
We work with marketing managers who need an expert plan to execute, with organisations whose procurement rules require an independent assessment before hiring, and with founders deciding where the next shilling of marketing budget should go. The deliverable is always something your team can act on without us.
what you get
What is included in our consultancy service
Engagements are scoped to a fixed fee and a fixed deliverable. The most common formats are below; most clients combine two.
Search and AI visibility audit
A full review of your Google rankings, technical health, content and how AI engines currently describe your business and competitors. Delivered as a prioritised written plan with effort estimates, so your team knows what to do first.
Strategy workshop
A half-day or full-day session with your team covering goals, audience, channels and budget, ending in a one-page strategy and a 90-day action plan. Run in person in Nairobi or remotely.
Website brief and vendor evaluation
A written brief for a new site or rebuild, including sitemap, functional requirements, integrations and budget range, plus independent review of proposals from developers or agencies you are considering.
Training and handover
Practical sessions for your team on SEO, AI search, content and analytics, with templates and checklists they keep. Designed so the work continues after we leave.
Creating Success
What makes our consultancy useful
Practitioners, not slide decks
Advice comes from people who rank sites, build websites and run automation every week. The plan reflects what works now, not last year’s conference talk.
You own the output
Every audit, brief and plan is yours to use with anyone. We do not hold back detail to win the implementation.
Kenya and East Africa context
Recommendations account for M-Pesa, WhatsApp, mobile data costs and how people here search, rather than copying playbooks from other markets.
We are gathering client testimonials for this service. In the meantime, ask us for references.

Why a plan matters before you spend

of Kenyan internet users now use AI tools monthly, a shift most marketing plans have not caught up with (DataReportal, 2026)
68%
of US Google searches end without a click, so strategy built on rankings alone is already out of date (SparkToro, 2026)

Both are quoted as fixed fees based on the size of your site and team. You know the price before we start, and the price does not change.
Yes. We regularly audit work done by other agencies and give an independent view. We keep it factual and constructive.
