How it works
Let me learn your business. Then I build and grow it.
One call, a plan you see before you commit, then one person building and running it. Whatever you need along the way, I’m a text or a call away, at no extra charge.
- 01
We hop on a call
I learn how your business runs and what you want from it. Nothing gets suggested until I understand both.
- 02
I share the plan
I work out what is best for your business and walk you through it: what I will build, what it costs and what to expect.
- 03
Setup: I build
If you agree, you pay the setup fee. I will likely rebuild your website from scratch and build custom tools and automations that make your job easier.
- 04
Then we grow it
Ads start at a $500 monthly budget. I earn a monthly management fee, a percentage of ad spend and a percentage of the sales I drive organically, so my pay grows when your sales do.
How I work
I partner with businesses that are ready to grow.
I combine growth strategy, software, automation and acquisition to turn good businesses into scalable ones. First I understand how your business works. Then I build the systems that make it grow.
“Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.”
01Direct access
You work with me. Not an account manager.
I learn your business, build the systems, run the campaigns and stay involved when something needs to change. No re-explaining your company to someone new.
02Ownership
Your business stays yours.
Your domain, customer data, Google profile and ad accounts stay in your name. My systems power the work without holding your business hostage.
03Results
Everything has to move the number.
We find what is limiting growth, fix it, measure the result and move to the next constraint. Nothing gets sold because it sounds impressive.
Before the first call
What helps me help you.
Nothing is required. A rough picture is a better start than a perfect one.
Start with your situation- What the business does and who the best customers are
- Where those customers are: a city, a radius, all of Ontario
- What you have now: website, Google profile, any ads running
- What is not working, or what you want more of
- Roughly what you can put behind it each month
Good to know
A few ground rules.
A call is not a contract
The first conversation is to understand the business. Scope, price and timeline go in writing before anything paid starts, and you decide from there.
Access comes after you say yes
Domain, Google profile, ad account and analytics access are requested once we are working together, through the client portal. Never send passwords through a form, the chat or email.
Have a date?
A launch, a season, an event: say so when you get in touch. Ads can be live within a week; a site takes two to three. I will tell you honestly what fits.
Common questions
Questions people ask first.
Price, ownership, timelines and what happens when you get in touch.
Every questionWho do you work with?
Owner-run businesses in Hamilton, Burlington, the GTA and across Ontario that have something real to sell and want more customers finding them online: law firms, trades, auto, clinics, restaurants, real estate, retail and startups.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope. A Google Business Profile and a focused site is a different job from ongoing ads and SEO. You get a fixed price in writing after the first call, before anything starts.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
Agencies sell you a team you never meet. Here, the person you talk to is the person doing the work, and that person can write the code and run the marketing. Fewer handoffs, faster turnaround, and nobody marking up a freelancer.
Who owns what?
Your domain, your Google Business Profile, your ad accounts, your analytics and your customer data are in your name from day one. The platform underneath is mine: nine years of engineering you rent for a fraction of what building it would cost. If we part ways, you keep everything with your name on it and I help you move the content wherever you want.
How long until I see results?
Ads can bring in enquiries within the first week. Google Business Profile changes often move rankings within weeks. SEO compounds over months and keeps growing. I report real numbers from Search Console and your ad accounts every month.
Do I have to be in Hamilton?
No. I am based in Hamilton, Ontario and meet local clients in person when it helps, but everything I do works remotely and I have clients across the GTA.
What happens after I book?
You answer a few questions about the business, then pick a time for a 20-minute call. Before the call I look at your site, your Google profile and your competitors. Within a few days of the call you get a short written plan with a fixed price. Nothing is paid until you have seen it.

Twenty minutes. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you who is.
