What does a Notion Consultant do, exactly?
This question comes up more times than I can count, so I figured I’d break down what we do and hopefully bring clarity around Notion consulting services. 🙂
When Did Notion Consulting Become a Thing?
Back in 2019-ish, Notion rolled out their Certified Notion Consultant program as a way for companies to hire trusted experts with confidence.
For some teams, the need was migrating to Notion, for others, optimizing their workspace. And a lot in between.
With the number of monthly active users estimated beteween 30 and 35 million, usage of Notion has ballooned far beyond its core startup audience.
Companies and organizations in finance, law, medicine, education, and design are now adopting the all-in-one workspace solution, taking advantage of its customization and the ability to build no-code solutions solely in Notion.
There was also a clear motivation to build and grow the Consultant Directory — it ensures there’s a trusted network of partners that companies can work with, ultimately ensuring those teams and users continue using it.
The Certified Notion Consultant Directory has grown gradually, and now encompasses ~100 consultants globally.
What do Notion Consultants Work On?
Notion projects can go in a lot of different directions, so the answer is pretty broad.
The most common project is the workspace build, in which the consultant takes the lead on mapping, building, and helping to launch a new digital workspace for the client.
There are, however, many different services provided by consultants, reflecting the diverse needs of different users, teams, and organizations.
Consultants offer a variety of services, including workflow audits, workspace optimization, automations, training, and support.
Here’s a brief breakdown of some of the most common services. If you’re planning to hire a Notion consultant, this could be a useful…
