FIND YOUR STARTING POINT
What does your business need most right now?
Start with the area creating the biggest obstacle for your customers. These services can also work together when your website, Google presence, social profiles, and ongoing management all need attention.
01
A professional website
Your business needs a new website or a clearer, faster, mobile-friendly replacement for an outdated one.
02
Stronger local visibility
Customers have difficulty finding accurate information about your business in Google Search or Google Maps.
03
A consistent social presence
Your social profiles are incomplete, inconsistent, inactive, or disconnected from the rest of your online presence.
04
Continued management
You want someone to maintain the website, improve local visibility, or help manage selected social platforms after launch.
01 / WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
A professional website built around what customers need to do next.
Give customers a clear, credible place to understand your business, explore your services, and confidently take the next step.
Your website should do more than look professional.
I plan and build mobile-friendly WordPress websites around your business goals, customer questions, services, and primary customer action—not around unnecessary features or technical complexity.
Whether you need your first website or a redesign of an outdated one, the project begins with the information customers need. We determine which pages to include, how your services should be organized, and how visitors will move from learning about your business to calling, booking, visiting, or requesting a quote.

02 / LOCAL SEO & GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE
Help nearby customers find accurate information about your business.
Strengthen the connection between your website, Google Business Profile, services, reviews, locations, and the terms customers use when searching locally.
Local visibility depends on more than creating a Google listing.
Your website, Google Business Profile, services, hours, contact information, service areas, reviews, and other business listings need to communicate consistent and useful information.
I help establish and improve that foundation so Google can better understand what your business offers and customers can more easily determine whether you serve their location, provide the service they need, and offer a clear way to contact you.

03 / SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT
Create a consistent social presence your business can realistically maintain.
Choose the platforms that fit your customers, resources, and goals—then establish professional profiles, useful content themes, and a manageable publishing system.
Your business does not need to be active on every social platform.Your business does not need to be active on every social platform.
I help determine which platforms make sense based on your audience, business type, available photography or video, marketing goals, and ability to maintain each account.
The goal is to create a professional and repeatable social-media foundation that supports your website and Google presence. Your business receives consistent profiles, practical content direction, and a clear workflow instead of several accounts that quickly become inactive.
