Raised in a Small Business. Now I Help Them Grow.
I grew up in my mom’s print shop in Cedar Springs, Michigan. From a young age, I was cutting paper, assembling packages, and sitting in client meetings. I watched her work with small business owners who didn’t always have big budgets, but she’d figure out creative ways to make it work. She understood there were real people behind these businesses.
What stuck with me was watching her come up with solutions to help those businesses reach more people, even when resources were tight. That’s where I learned what real partnership looks like.
Proven Results in Digital Marketing
I built a test prep website from scratch that grew to 329,703 monthly visitors and over 2 million sessions per year. No paid ads, just SEO that worked. That same approach has helped local businesses across Northern Michigan grow their revenue through digital marketing that actually drives results.
Who I Work With
I focus on established local businesses in Northern Michigan and West Michigan that are ready to grow but need a marketing partner who actually understands their world.
You’re probably a good fit if:
You run a retail business, professional service, or trade company that’s been around for a few years. You’re business is already growing but you’d like to pour a little more fuel on the fire. You know you need to show up better online, but you’re not sure if you should focus on Google, social media, or your website first. Maybe you’ve worked with an agency that charged a lot and you have no idea what they actually did. Or you’ve tried running ads yourself and burned through budget without much to show for it. You want someone who can either handle it for you or show you how to do it right.
You might not be a good fit if:
You’re a brand-new startup still figuring out product-market fit. You want the cheapest option possible. You’re looking for someone to just “post on social media” without a real strategy. You need a massive corporate agency with a huge team.
I keep my client list intentionally small. That means I can’t help everyone, but the businesses I do work with get my full attention and actually see results.
If you’re a small business owner in Michigan who values straight talk, real results, and a partner who gets what you’re dealing with, let’s talk.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
I can’t stand watching small businesses get ripped off by agencies that sell services instead of delivering results. That’s why we work differently as your Traverse City digital marketing partner.
We keep our client list small so we can focus on what actually matters: getting you more leads, more customers, and more revenue. No vanity metrics, no busy work, just results that grow your business.
But partnership doesn’t always mean we do the work for you. Sometimes it means showing you how to do it yourself. Digital marketing gets overcomplicated on purpose by agencies who want you to feel dependent. The truth is, a lot of small businesses could handle their own marketing if someone just explained it clearly.
Whether we partner on your marketing or I help you learn to do it yourself, my goal is the same: help small businesses stop getting taken advantage of and start growing.
