For Critchfield Consulting, a Kansas City-based digital marketing and consulting agency, the ideal client is more than just a business seeking services – it's a collaboration with a partner who shares values, goals, and a commitment to growth. Let's delve into the attributes that define the perfect client for what we feel at Critchfield Consulting represents.

• The ideal client for Critchfield Marketing is a business with products or services that people actively search for online.

• Our ideal client often has a Director of Marketing within their company, but this individual is spread too thin across various business capacities to dedicate the time necessary for all things digital.
