Bhavik Sarkhedi, personal branding consultant. Twelve years, 1,200 clients across 30 countries, 21 books.
I ask people to be visible in public. It seemed fair to do the uncomfortable version myself first.

Twelve years of this, for 1,200 people across thirty countries. Founders, consultants, surgeons, academics, operators. People whose work is already good and whose name does not travel.
I have written 21 books, contributed to HuffPost since 2016, and been published twice in The New York Times. That matters here for one reason only: I am not selling you a service I have never had to perform on myself.
An agency sells you output, a number of posts a month. A consultant decides what you are known for, then makes the internet agree. Those are different jobs and only one of them survives you cancelling the retainer.
In practice that means one position you can defend, a LinkedIn presence that sounds like you rather than a template, search results you are not embarrassed by, and enough published proof that anyone checking you up finds an answer instead of a gap.
Nothing in the left frame was less capable. Same head, same work rate, most of the same opinions. What he did not have was a single reason for anyone to have heard of him.
That gap is not talent, and it does not close on its own. Somebody has to decide what you are known for, then put it in front of the people who decide things.
I spent eleven years doing that to myself before I charged anyone for it.
