Accounts & Setup

We create and connect all necessary accounts — Google Ads, Analytics, Search Console, and more. You don't need to touch anything.

Dashboard Goes Live

Your bespoke reporting portal is built and linked. Your private URL is shared. Live data starts flowing from day one.

Relax — I Handle the Rest

SEO, ads, optimization, and reporting run on autopilot. You get monthly summaries and can check your live dashboard anytime.

The Stack

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

From SEO to paid ads to custom dashboards — we manage every layer of your marketing stack so you can focus on running your business.

SEO

On-page optimization, technical audits, keyword strategy, and action-item tracking.

We run technical audits monthly, track your keyword rankings daily, and deliver a prioritized action list of exactly what to fix and why. You'll always know where you stand in search — and what we're doing about it. Every recommendation comes with clear context so you understand the "why" behind each decision, not just the task itself.

Google Ads

Campaign setup, ongoing optimization, and clear performance tracking.

From initial campaign architecture to daily bid adjustments, we manage every dollar of your ad spend. You get a live dashboard showing spend, clicks, conversions, and cost-per-acquisition — updated in real time. We review campaigns weekly and make structural changes whenever the data calls for it, not on a fixed schedule.

Web Development

Custom sites built for performance, speed, and conversion — no templates.

Every site we build is custom-designed for your business, optimized for Core Web Vitals, and wired directly into your marketing stack. No templates. No handoffs. Launch-ready and maintained by us. Your site will load fast, convert visitors into leads, and grow with your business — not against it.

Reporting

Live dashboards with real-time data and auto-generated monthly insights.

Your custom bespoke dashboard is live from day one. It pulls from all connected channels — ads, SEO, website traffic — and we send a plain-English monthly report with written insights about your actual results. No waiting for a monthly PDF, no digging through raw data exports — everything you need is always just one click away.

Direct Access

Message me directly through your portal. No email chains.

Message me directly from your client portal — no email chains, no ticket systems, no account managers. When you send a message, I read it. Responses within a few hours, during business hours. You always know who you're talking to, because it's always me — the person actually doing the work on your account.

Customer Analysis

Understand who your customers are, where they come from, and what makes them convert.

We analyze your customer data to surface patterns you can actually act on — which channels drive the best leads, what your highest-value customers have in common, and where in the funnel you're losing people. This feeds directly into every campaign decision so your budget goes where it works, not where it looks good on paper.

FAQ

Questions? I've got
straight answers.

Do I need to know anything about marketing or tech? +

Not a thing. We translate everything into plain English. You'll never need to log into Google Analytics, interpret a raw data export, or decode a technical audit. Your job is to run your business — ours is to make your marketing perform and explain what's happening in language that actually makes sense for a business owner.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency? +

At an agency, you get an account manager who relays information to a team you never talk to. With us, you talk directly to the people doing the work — every time. No handoffs. No information lost in translation. No 10-person team where only two people know your account. Because we run lean and use best-in-class tools, the price reflects that efficiency — not agency overhead.

What does the reporting dashboard actually look like? +

It's a custom-built, proprietary portal built from scratch specifically for our clients. Every client gets their own private URL with live data from all connected marketing channels — SEO rankings, ad performance, website traffic, and more, all in one place. It's live 24/7, automatically refreshes, and we build in a direct messaging interface so you can reach us from inside the same screen. No waiting for a monthly PDF, no logging into five different platforms.

How long does it take to get started? +

For most clients, we're fully set up within 1-2 weeks of signing. That includes account access, dashboard setup, initial audit of your current marketing state, and a clear onboarding summary of what we're starting with and where we're going. You'll have visibility into your marketing from day one — no mystery setup period.

What if I'm not happy with the results? +

We don't believe in trapping clients. We'll have a direct conversation about what's working and what isn't — and we'll tell you honestly. We're built on results, so if something isn't performing, we fix it. No contracts designed to keep you stuck, no 60-day notice periods, no fees to leave. Our model only works if our clients are actually getting value from the work.

What types of businesses do you work with? +

Primarily small-to-medium businesses that need enterprise-level marketing without enterprise pricing. Locally-owned service businesses, e-commerce brands, professional services, and boutique retailers are a great fit. If your business depends on customers finding you online and you want a single, accountable person managing every layer of that — we should talk.

What AI tools are you using, and is my data safe? +

We use Claude AI and ChatGPT for content, analysis, and reporting automation — along with custom pipelines we've built and trained ourselves. We never share client data with AI tools in ways that put your business at risk. Everything is kept confidential, and we follow data handling practices appropriate for the sensitive nature of marketing and business performance data.

How much does it cost? +

Every service is available a la carte, starting at $19/month for dashboard access. SEO, Google Ads, reporting, and direct communication services are each $99/month. Website development is a one-time custom project starting at $199. You can start with just what you need and add more when you're ready — no lock-in, no contracts, cancel any time.
