How is this different from just running ads?

Ads are one tactic. Marketing strategy determines where to invest your budget, what messages to communicate, who to target, and how all the pieces work together. We might recommend ads as part of your strategy—or we might recommend focusing elsewhere first. The strategy comes before the tactics.

How long until we see results?

It depends on the channels. Paid advertising can generate leads within days. SEO and content marketing typically show results in 3-6 months. Social media engagement builds over time. We set realistic expectations and track progress from day one so you always know where things stand.

What if we already have some marketing going?

Great! We start by auditing what you're currently doing. We'll identify what's working (and should continue), what isn't (and should stop), and what opportunities you're missing. We integrate with your existing efforts, not replace everything.

Do we need a big budget to work with you?

Not huge, but marketing does require investment to be effective. Our smallest engagements start around $1,000/month. If you have less to invest, we can provide consulting to help you DIY more effectively until you're ready for full-service support.

How do you measure success?

We define success metrics upfront based on your goals: leads generated, revenue influenced, traffic, conversions, etc. Monthly reporting shows exactly what your marketing investment is producing. No vanity metrics—we track what matters to your business.

Will you work with our existing vendors?

Yes. If you have a web developer, graphic designer, or other partners you like, we coordinate with them. We're flexible about filling gaps versus providing complete solutions. The goal is what works best for you.

How involved do we need to be?

We handle execution, but your input is valuable—especially early on. Expect a few hours in the first month for strategy development, then 2-4 hours monthly for reviews and approvals. More involvement is fine too if you enjoy being hands-on.

What about content—do you write it?

Yes. Content creation is included in most packages. We'll need your input and expertise to create authentic content, but we handle the writing, design, and distribution. You review and approve before anything goes live.

Can we start with one thing and add more later?

Absolutely. Many clients start with one priority (like Google Ads or local SEO) and expand as they see results. Our services are designed to scale with your needs and budget.

What industries do you work with?

We work with a wide range of small businesses but specialize in service-based businesses, local companies, and B2B. If we're not the right fit for your industry, we'll tell you upfront and recommend alternatives.
