For owner-run businesses without a marketing department

Marketing is somebody's second job. That's why it isn't working.

The site is a few years old. Posting happens when someone remembers. The ad spend runs unwatched. Nobody's being lazy — there's just no one whose actual job this is. A full-service agency wants several thousand a month to fix it. Here's the other option.

Marketing spend — tie-out Per month

Full-service agency

$3–5k typical monthly retainer

Team you speak to an account manager

How this usually shows up

If two of these three are true, it's worth a conversation.

Aging out

The site is embarrassing you

It was fine when it launched. Now it loads slowly, looks dated next to your competitors, and nobody has ever called because of it.

Unwatched

The ads just run

There's a card on file and a monthly charge. Nobody has opened the search terms report in a year. A chunk of it is going somewhere useless.

Stalled out

Content stopped

There was a plan. There were a few posts. Then a busy quarter happened and the last update was eighteen months ago.

I'll show you where your ad money goes

The fastest way to see how I work is to let me do a piece of it. Give me read-only access to your Google Ads account and I'll send back a short written audit within two business days.

What you get back

  1. The searches you actually paid for last quarter — not your keywords, the real queries. This is where the waste hides.
  2. A dollar figure for spend that was never going to convert, and the negative keyword list to stop it.
  3. The three changes I'd make first, in priority order.

Two ways to work together

Most people start with the rebuild and move to the retainer. You can do either on its own.

Why this costs less than an agency

Worth being direct about, because "cheaper" usually means "worse" and you should know which one this is.

An agency's price is mostly people. An account manager, a strategist, a writer, a designer, a media buyer, and the overhead above all of them. Six salaries touch your account and you talk to the one who does the least work.

I've automated most of the production — drafting, variants, reporting, the repetitive build work. What's left is judgment, and that part is me. One person, lower overhead, most of the output. That's the whole trick, and it's the reason the number is what it is.

The honest trade-off: you're not getting a six-person team. If you need a national brand campaign or a broadcast buy, hire an agency. If you need consistent marketing that actually happens every month, this is better value and faster to work with.

When to not call me

Saying this up front saves us both a call.

  • You already have a marketing manager who's doing well. Adding me creates confusion, not leads.
  • You want leads next week. Content and search take a quarter to compound. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.
  • Your problem is actually sales follow-up. If leads come in and nobody calls them back, more leads won't help.
  • You want the cheapest possible option. There are $500/month offshore services. They're cheaper than me and they're worth it.

Fifteen minutes, no pitch

Tell me what you're doing now and what isn't working. I'll tell you what I'd change first — including the parts you could do yourself without hiring anybody.
