Hughes IT Consulting LLC

Based in Dublin, Ohio, and serving the Columbus area, Hughes IT Consulting LLC works with small businesses that need IT support alongside marketing help rather than as two separate vendors. The company positions itself as an extension of a client's business, advising on hardware and software costs, network security, and internal policies and procedures. With a team of 1-10 people and stated experience of over 15 years, it covers both technical infrastructure and digital presence for local companies, offering 24/7 monitoring availability. Its service list spans website design (responsive and visual design, A/B testing), networking (monitoring, installation and configuration, troubleshooting), and server support (installation, performance monitoring, backup and recovery). On the digital marketing side, the agency lists on-page SEO, technical SEO, and local SEO. Cybersecurity work is delivered through Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) services, alongside threat detection and response. Additional offerings include desktop and laptop support (OS and software issue resolution, system clean-up), point-of-sale installation and hardware support, and eDiscovery services covering data identification and collection, legal hold management, and processing and review. The website also references an interactive network visualization tool used to map and monitor client infrastructure. Engagements typically begin with a free assessment.
