Start a campaignTwo paths to leads
01 — Paid
Paid Google Search ads targeted to your local market. Fast results — leads can start coming in within days of launch. You set the budget, I manage the campaign.
02 — Organic
Long-term work to rank in Google Search and Maps for your local keywords. Slower than ads, but compounding — every month builds on the last and the leads keep coming after you stop paying.

FAQ
Realistically, $400–$1,000/month in ad spend (separate from my management fee) is the sweet spot for most local small businesses. Less than that and you don't generate enough data to optimize. Much more, and you may need a bigger team than just me. I'll help you pick the right starting number.
Google Ads is paid — you pay per click and leads come fast (days). SEO is organic — leads come slower (months) but compound and don't stop when you stop paying. Most small businesses should do both: ads to get leads now, SEO to build a long-term moat.
Realistic expectation: 3–6 months for local rankings to start moving. 6–12 months for meaningful traffic increases. SEO is the slowest-paying-off marketing channel and also the cheapest over time. If you need leads in 7 days, do ads.
Not necessarily, but slow or broken sites are nearly impossible to rank no matter how much SEO work you throw at them. If your current site loads slowly, isn't mobile-friendly, or has technical issues, the SEO audit will tell you whether it's worth fixing or rebuilding.
No. Curated blog posts are written to actually be read and to target keywords your real customers search for — not stuffed with filler for Google. Quality > volume, every time.
Yes. No long-term contracts. If something's not working, I'd rather have the conversation than hold you hostage.
Whether you want fast leads from Google Ads, slow-and-steady growth from SEO, or both — let's talk about what makes sense for your business.
