Get out from behind the 8-Ball

Most businesses don't need a full agency. They need the right person, focused on the right things, actually executing.

Why choose 8-Ball Consulting

You don't need a room full of people to get great marketing results. You need the right person, genuinely invested in your business and focused on the areas that will actually create movement.

💡 Experience That Matters

With over 7 years of experience leading digital marketing for a multi-location healthcare practice, I have firsthand knowledge of what works for small businesses. You get proven expertise without the agency overhead.

❤️ A Personal Touch

I’m not a faceless agency. When you work with me, you get my personal commitment and hard work — the foundation of my brand and the reason every client gets hands-on consulting.

💸 Affordable, Focused Solutions

Most SEO agencies charge $2,000+/mo for bloated packages. At 8-Ball Consulting, you pay a fraction of that for what actually moves the needle.

🤝 Built on Trust

The future of search is trust. I help businesses build it through meticulous, omnichannel marketing that makes you the obvious choice — on Google, social media, reviews, and AI-powered search.

About Ryan & 8-Ball Consulting

I'm Ryan Prutsman, owner of 8-Ball Consulting. I'm a one-person shop built on the belief that great marketing doesn't require a massive agency, just the right person genuinely invested in your business.

Before starting 8-Ball Consulting, I spent nearly seven years leading marketing for Sound Relief Tinnitus & Hearing Center, a multi-location healthcare practice in Colorado. I learned what it actually takes to grow a business through consistent, detail-oriented marketing. Not shortcuts, not fluff. Just work that compounds over time.

Today I work with small businesses across the U.S., plugging into the areas of their marketing that need the most attention and treating every client's business like it's my own.

When I'm not working you'll find me somewhere in Colorado snowboarding or mountain biking.
