Digital marketing consultant for United States businesses.

I'm Kavish Arora, a digital marketing consultant based in Delhi NCR with more than 15 years of work across search, paid media, analytics and conversion. I work with US businesses remotely: senior thinking on strategy and execution, a flat fee in US dollars with no Indian GST added, and a rhythm built around East Coast mornings. I don't have a US office and won't pretend to. Fees are published in USD on this page.

WHY HIRE REMOTELY FROM INDIA

Senior marketing judgement for US teams, on flat USD fees

Senior input without a full-time hire

Many US companies need someone who can set search, paid media and analytics priorities but can't yet justify a full-time senior marketing salary. A part-time engagement gives you that judgement for the hours you actually need, while your in-house team or existing vendors keep running the day-to-day work with clearer direction.

Work moves while you sleep

My working day ends as the East Coast morning begins, so work we agree on a call can be done while your team is offline: audits, keyword maps, landing-page notes, tracking fixes. You start the next day with something to review rather than something to chase. This works best when priorities are written down clearly.

An independent read on crowded auctions

In most US categories, search and social ad auctions are competitive enough that wasted spend shows up quickly. An adviser with no media commission to protect can look at your account structure, landing pages and measurement and tell you plainly what is working, what is noise and what to stop funding.

WORKING ACROSS TIME ZONES

When we can meet.

My 9:00 AM–9:00 PM IST window runs from 11:30 PM to 11:30 AM Eastern during US daylight saving time (second Sunday of March to first Sunday of November) and 10:30 PM to 10:30 AM Eastern in winter, so East Coast teams get 9:00–11:30 AM ET in summer and 9:00–10:30 AM ET in winter, and Central teams 9:00–10:30 AM CDT or 9:00–9:30 AM CST. On the West Coast the window closes at 8:30 AM PDT (7:30 AM PST), so we rely on early calls and written updates.

The booking calendar shows open slots in your local time. For a larger project or ongoing association, I can travel to United States and work with your team in person.

CITIES IN UNITED STATES

City guides.

Hiring a marketing consultant who sits nine and a half hours or more ahead of you is a real trade-off. Here is how I'd suggest a US business judge whether it makes sense, what tends to matter in the US market, what to localise, and how an engagement with me actually runs week to week.

How US buyers usually judge marketing help

Most US buyers I speak with are less interested in credentials than in whether you can look at their numbers and say something specific within the first conversation. That is a fair test. Before you sign anything, ask the consultant to talk through your Google Ads or analytics account on a screen share, or commission a small, paid audit with a fixed scope. You learn more from one honest diagnosis than from a deck of logos.

Larger companies will also run a vendor process: a security questionnaire, a W-8 series tax form for a foreign supplier, insurance questions and a contract review. None of this is unusual for an overseas consultant, but it takes time, so start it in parallel with the scoping conversation rather than after it.

  • Ask for a sample of how findings are written up, not just presented
  • Check who will actually do the work, and how many hours a month you are buying
  • Agree in advance what a good first quarter looks like, in terms of decisions made rather than promised results

What tends to matter in US search, ads, social and marketplaces

Google Search remains the default starting point for most commercial research in the US, and for local service businesses the Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages do much of the heavy lifting. Microsoft Advertising is worth a controlled test for some B2B and older-skewing audiences, because it reaches people on Bing and in the Microsoft ecosystem whom you might otherwise pay more to reach on Google.

For B2B, LinkedIn is usually where paid social earns its keep, but it is expensive per click and rewards tight targeting and a strong offer. For consumer brands, Meta and increasingly short-form video platforms carry much of the discovery. Product businesses often find that Amazon is part of the search journey whether they sell there or not, so your listing, reviews and pricing there shape how buyers see you elsewhere.

AI answers inside search engines and assistants now sit between many buyers and your website. That doesn't replace SEO; it raises the bar for clear, well-structured pages that state facts plainly and can be quoted accurately.

None of this is a universal rule. Which channel deserves the next dollar depends on your margins, sales cycle and where your buyers already look. The first job is to measure that properly.

What to localise for American buyers

If your site was built for another market, the obvious fixes are American spelling, USD pricing, US phone formats and dates written month first. Less obvious is geography: the US behaves like many markets at once, so a service business should be specific about the states or metro areas it covers rather than claiming to serve "the USA".

Trust signals matter. Real reviews, named team members, clear contact details and plain explanations of how pricing works all reduce hesitation. Accessibility is also worth taking seriously; website accessibility has become a litigation topic in the US, so ask counsel what standard you should be working towards.

  • Reviews and testimonials: the FTC's rule on consumer reviews and testimonials, in effect since October 2024, prohibits fake or misleading reviews, so collect and display them honestly
  • Email marketing: follow the CAN-SPAM Act requirements for commercial email, and check stricter rules before sending SMS
  • Privacy: state privacy laws such as California's affect cookie banners, data sharing with ad platforms and opt-out links, so confirm what applies to you

How a remote engagement with me runs

Onboarding takes about a week. You give me user access to Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, your ad accounts and your CRM or form data; I never need admin ownership, and I'd rather your company owns every account. We hold one kick-off call to agree the business goal, the questions we need to answer first and who on your side makes decisions.

After that the rhythm is simple. One weekly call in your morning, a running document where I log what I did, what I found and what I need from you, and a short monthly summary that ties activity back to leads, pipeline or revenue, whichever your business actually tracks. Urgent questions go in a shared channel; I'll answer during my day, which overlaps your early morning.

Reporting stays deliberately plain. Each monthly summary answers three questions: what changed, why we think it changed, and what we're doing next. If a number moved because of seasonality, a site outage or a sales-team change rather than marketing, I say so. I'd rather you trust a modest report than enjoy an optimistic one.

A sensible first 60 days

The first two months should produce clarity and a few well-chosen fixes, not a pile of new campaigns. A typical sequence looks like this, adjusted to what we find.

  • Weeks 1–2: measurement check. Are conversions, form fills and calls tracked correctly, and do they match what sales sees?
  • Weeks 2–4: audit of search visibility, paid accounts and the main landing pages, with a written list of problems ranked by likely impact and effort
  • Weeks 4–6: fix the tracking gaps and the two or three issues most likely to be wasting spend or losing enquiries
  • Weeks 6–8: a 90-day plan with owners, budget ranges and the tests worth running, which your team or vendors can execute with me reviewing

What I need from your side

Remote work succeeds or fails on access and decisions. I'll need one person on your team who can approve changes, answer questions about the business within a day or so, and pull in sales or product colleagues when a question goes beyond marketing. Without that person, even good recommendations stall.

I'll also ask for honest context: past campaigns that didn't work, margins by product or service, and how sales follows up on leads. Those details change the advice more than any tool does.

When to keep it local instead

An offshore consultant isn't the right answer for every US business, and I'd rather say so up front. If you need someone in the room every week, or long working sessions during the Pacific business day, the time difference will frustrate both of us. The same goes for marketing that depends on events, field sales or in-person relationships in a particular city.

Regulated categories deserve care too. If your marketing needs sign-off from a US-licensed professional, such as in some healthcare, financial or legal services, you'll need that person involved regardless, and a local specialist may be more efficient. And if what you really need is a full team running campaigns daily, compare a US agency with an engagement like mine on scope, not just on fees.

A good middle path many companies choose: keep execution local and use a remote senior adviser to set direction, review performance and keep vendors honest.

Working with a consultant from India: United States FAQs

Which law governs our contract?

Governing law and how disputes are handled are agreed in the written proposal before any work starts, and I'm open to discussing what suits your company. Nothing on this page is legal advice, so have your own counsel review the terms for a significant engagement. The proposal also covers scope, hours, notice period and confidentiality.

How do you invoice US clients, and how do we pay?

I invoice in USD at a flat fee, with no Indian GST added for clients outside India. Payment is by international wire transfer or a similar cross-border method agreed in the proposal. When invoices are raised (monthly for retainers, by milestone for projects) is written into the proposal as well.

What do we need to think about for US privacy rules?

The US has no single comprehensive federal privacy law. Obligations come from a mix of federal rules and a growing set of state laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and which ones apply depends on where your customers are and what data you hold. Please check your obligations with counsel. On my side, I work with the least access I need, prefer aggregated reporting data, and will sign your NDA or data processing terms.

Who owns the strategy, copy and reports you produce?

Deliverables made for you, such as strategies, reports, copy, campaign structures and tracking plans, are assigned to you on payment, and the proposal says so in writing. I keep only my general methods and know-how. Ad, analytics and Search Console accounts should belong to your company, with me added as a user.

How often do we meet across the time difference?

Most engagements run on one weekly call in your morning, usually inside 9:00–10:30 AM Eastern, plus written updates in a shared document or channel. West Coast teams usually choose an early call, or asynchronous updates with a call every two weeks. For larger engagements, a trip to the US for planning workshops can be discussed in the proposal.
