Digital marketing for Main Street businesses

Grow your business the old-fashioned way. We'll handle the computer stuff.

Finding customers has changed a whole lot. How folks decide to buy hasn't changed one bit. We use our not-so-secret formula to put you in front of new neighbors and keep your regulars coming back.

The (not so) secret formula

KNOW + LIKE + TRUST = SALE

A sale can't happen until you've got all three. Yes, that's the whole secret.

Not sure what that means? Here it is three ways.

Grandma's Recipe

Leave out one ingredient and the pie doesn't turn out. Folks need to know you, like you and trust you. All three, every time. No substitutions.

The Three-Legged Stool

Know is one leg. Like is another. Trust is the third. Take any one of them away and you're sitting on the floor.

The Front Porch Test

First they wave when you walk by. That's know. Then they stop and chat. That's like. Then they ask you to watch the house while they're away. That's trust, and that's when they buy.

What we do

We find new customers for you.

Folks don't just walk past your shop like they used to. They look you up on their phone first. So we meet them there, then walk them right to your front door. Here's how it goes, start to finish.

Why? So we have a starting point. Then we sit down together and set real sales goals for your business, month by month.

Questions

What folks ask us most.

Don't see your question? Pick up the phone and ask Mark. 440-336-1734.

What exactly do you do?

We find new customers for your business and help you win them. That means getting you found when folks search online, getting them to your door or your website, showing them why you're the right choice, and making it easy to buy. We run all the computer stuff. You run your business.

How much does it cost, and can I quit if it's not working?

You pay one flat price each month, so you always know what you owe. There's no contract. You can cancel anytime. Just tell Mark.

I already have a website, but I don't like it. Do I have to start over?

Not necessarily. We'll look at it in your free checkup and tell you straight whether it can be fixed up or needs to be replaced. If it's working fine, we leave it alone. If it's costing you customers, we'll tell you that too.

How soon will I see new customers?

Some things, like a cleaned-up Google listing and more reviews, can start helping within weeks. Others, like showing up higher in search, take a few months to build. Nobody honest can promise overnight results. What we do promise is a clear goal each month and a plain report on how we did.

I'm not a computer person. Will I have to learn all this?

Nope. That's our job. You keep doing what you do best and we handle the rest. When we need something from you, like a photo or a quick okay, we'll ask in plain English. And you can always pick up the phone and talk to a real person.

Talk to a real person
