Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire you instead of a big agency?

I’m committed to helping you win without breaking the bank —my services start at $300 for a Google Business boost or $750 for an SEO audit. Agencies charge $1,500-$5,000 upfront, often bundling stuff you don’t need. I skip the overhead and focus on what works for you—no bloated fees.

What do you know about agencies?

I’ve been on both sides—client and agency—so I’ve seen it all. Communication breakdowns that leave everyone frustrated. Disappointed clients sold flashy solutions they didn’t need, that didn’t fit their business. Wasted time and money on both ends. I’ve also been the client, stuck with a strategy that flopped because the stakeholder couldn’t pinpoint what they wanted or how to say it. It’s messy—but fixable. With 25 years of experience, I cut through the noise. I listen, follow the process from start to finish, and deliver what actually works for you—no fluff, no waste, just results.

Should I fire my existing agency and go with you?

No, let’s not rush to fire anyone. I’d rather start by looking at what’s working with your agency and what’s not—then we’ll build from there. You might already have a great team, and I can give you peace of mind that you’re on track. Or, with my 25 years of experience—I can spot waste, uncover opportunities, and boost what they’re doing. Agencies sometimes drown you in jargon while you’re juggling a million things—I’ll cut through that noise. You need a solution that fits your business, not a one-size-fits-all fix. No one likes wasting money, and I’m here to make sure you don’t.

What if my niece/nephew/family does our marketing?

That’s great! I’m not here to replace your family member, but to team up with what they are doing. With my 25 years of success, I can take a look—see what’s working, spot what could be better, and boost it without breaking the bank. Maybe they’re nailing it, and I’ll give you peace of mind. Or I’ll catch things they may be missing, like wasted ad spend or SEO gaps, stuff that is easy to overlook when you’re juggling a lot. If I teach them something, it’s a win/win for your family and your business!

These FAQs are great! Do you have more of them?

Yes! There are so many questions about digital marketing and I love to educate. You can find more FAQs here.
