The problem

Five disconnected efforts is not a marketing program

Most small businesses end up with a website built by one person, a Google Business Profile someone claimed years ago, an ad account a freelancer set up, a social account posting into the void, and no way to tell which of them produced last month's customers.

Each piece may be fine on its own. Together they leak. The ad sends traffic to a page that does not answer the question, the form email lands in a folder nobody watches, and the review count that decides whether you appear in the map results sits untouched for a year.

We run the pieces as one system: search visibility, local SEO and your Google Business Profile, paid ads, pages built to convert, and automated follow up that answers a new lead before your competitor does.

If you only ever fix one thing, fix the response time. It costs nothing and it wins work.

How we work

The Super Simple Marketing Method

One path from attention to a booked job, with a number attached to every step.

See the method

  • 01

    Find out what a customer is worth

    Before anything else we work out the profit on one new customer and how many more you want each month. That number sets the budget, not a package tier.

  • 02

    Fix the leaks

    Phone number, forms, page speed, proof. The cheapest leads available to you are the ones you are already losing.

  • 03

    Claim the free ground

    Google Business Profile, categories, photos and a steady flow of reviews. The map results are the most valuable free real estate a local business has.

  • 04

    Turn on paid coverage

    Ads over the searches you cannot rank for yet, with the management fee and the ad spend quoted as two separate numbers.

  • 05

    Build the search asset

    Service and location pages first, then content, so traffic keeps arriving after the ads are switched off.

  • 06

    Answer fast, follow up more than once

    An automatic reply, a rule for how quickly a human calls back, and a sequence that does not stop after the first try.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about small business marketing

What does this cost?
Pricing depends on the market and how much of the system already exists, so we quote it after the audit rather than publishing a number that is wrong for half the people reading it. What you get at each level is set out on the packages page.
How long before it works?
Paid ads produce leads in the first week and you pay for every one of them. Local SEO usually moves within two to three months. Broader search work takes six to twelve months and then keeps working. Most businesses run both for that reason.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
The initial term is normally three months, which covers setup and the first honest read on the data. After that it is month to month, with no long lock in.
Do you work with my industry?
Law firms, contractors, real estate professionals and local service businesses make up most of the work. If you sell to people in Los Angeles County and a customer is worth more than a few hundred dollars, the system fits.
Can you run everything in Spanish?
Yes. Pages, ads, content and review replies in English and Spanish, written in each language rather than translated.
