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.
Fun Facts
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be my late grandfather, Baboo. He taught me a great deal about being a hard-working and good, respectable person.
My favorite sports teams are the Denver Nuggets, the Broncos, and the Colorado Avalanche.
My go-to comfort food is Chocolate Chip Pancakes.
My top travel dreams include snowboarding in Japan, surfing and yoga in Bali.
My all-time favorite movie is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
I live in Littleton, Colorado and I am a member of the Littleton Rotary Club, Rotary International, and the Littleton Business Chamber.
