Stratum / Digital consultancy
Websites, SEO, Meta ads, software maintenance and AI integration. One team that builds it, ranks it, sells it and keeps it running.
No hand-offs between five different agencies. No excuses.
Why Stratum
Built in layers.
Stratum
/ˈstrɑː.təm/ · noun · plural strata
- 1.A layer of rock or soil, one of many laid down on top of each other over time.
- 2.One level of a larger structure, supporting everything built above it.
From Latin stratum, “something spread or laid down.”
Look at a canyon wall and you see strata: stripes of rock laid down one on top of another, each one holding up the next. Take one out and everything above it gives way.
A business online works the same way. A solid website is the bedrock. SEO and Meta ads bring people to it. Maintenance stops it from cracking. AI sits on top and makes the whole thing work harder.
Most companies hire a different agency for each layer, and the gaps between them are where things break. We build all five, in the right order.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Can you take over software someone else built?
Yes. We review the code and infrastructure, write down what we find, fix anything urgent, then put it on a regular maintenance plan.
How much does a website cost?
Depends on scope. After a short call we send a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before we start.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes can help within weeks. Real ranking gains usually take three to six months. We report every month and we will never promise you the #1 spot, because nobody honestly can.
How does ad spend work for Meta campaigns?
Your ad budget is paid straight to Meta from your own ad account, so you always see exactly what's spent. Our management fee is separate and agreed up front.
Is AI actually useful for a business our size?
Often, but not everywhere. We look for repetitive, text-heavy or data-heavy work where AI saves real hours, and we'll tell you when it isn't worth it.
What happens to our data when you add AI?
We use providers and settings that don't train on your data, give access only where it's needed, and show you exactly where information goes.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Source code, accounts, ad accounts, documentation. All of it is yours.
