I’ve failed enough times to know what doesn’t work. Now I help
small businesses compete with bigger players—without the agency
BS or fancy reports that mean nothing.
Real results for real businesses. No vanity metrics.
In 2015, I lost everything when my startup crashed. Started over
with zero clients and a laptop. Today, I help small businesses win
at marketing—using what I learned the hard way.
I don't do fancy reports that mean nothing. You get straight answers, clear strategy, and work that actually moves the needle.
Everything I recommend, I've tested myself. On my own sites. On client sites. Some stuff worked. Most didn't. I share what works
I keep things simple. Four services. Focused on results. No shiny objects, no complicated packages.
I look at your site the way Google does. Find what's broken. Tell you exactly what to fix. No 50-page reports, just actionable items.
Google Ads, Facebook Ads, paid social. I set up campaigns that actually convert. No burning money on audiences that don't care.
For businesses that serve specific areas. Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, reviews. The basics most businesses get wrong
Not just "write more blog posts." I figure out what your customers actually search for, then create content that answers their questions better than anyone else.
From technical audits to link building tactics, I break down what actually moves the needle in search rankings. No theory, just stuff I’ve tested on real client sites. Some worked. Some didn’t. I share both
No mystery. No black boxes. Here’s exactly what happens when we work together.
We talk. I ask questions about your business, goals, current situation. No sales pitch, just figuring out if I can help.
I dig into your website, rankings, competitors. Find the low-hanging fruit and the bigger opportunities.
Based on what I find, I build a plan. Specific to your business. Not a cookie-cutter template.
We execute. You get regular updates with numbers that matter, rankings, traffic, leads. Not vanity metrics.
I don’t share client names (they value privacy), but here’s the kind of work I do and the results we achieve.
A local service business was buried on page 4. Six months later? Multiple #1 rankings. Their phone actually rings now.
Online store was getting traffic but no sales. Fixed product pages, improved site speed, built strategic links. Revenue followed.
Professional services firm used to cold-call for clients. Now their ideal customers find them through search. Better leads.
I’ve wasted thousands of dollars on marketing tools that promised the moon. Here’s my honest take on what’s actually worth your money, and what you can skip. Ahrefs, Semrush, hosting platforms, WordPress plugins. Real reviews from someone who actually uses them.
I’m not the cheapest option. I’m not the biggest agency. But I’m honest, experienced, and I actually care about results.
I’ve run a small business. I’ve had to stretch a budget. I know what it’s like to need every marketing dollar to count.
When you work with me, you work with me. Not an account manager,
not a junior staffer. Direct communication, every time.
Your website is your foundation. If it’s slow, broken, or poorly built, nothing else matters. I cover hosting choices, site speed optimization, WordPress best practices, and the technical stuff most marketers ignore, but shouldn’t.
I don’t have 500 testimonials. I have a handful of clients who
stuck around because the work speaks for itself.
"First SEO person who explained things in plain English. Showed me results every month. My business doubled."
"Was spending $3K/month on ads with nothing to show. Derek fixed my SEO, now I get consistent organic traffic. Should've done this years ago."
"The best thing about Derek? He tells you when something's a bad idea. Saved me from throwing money at strategies that wouldn't work for my industry."
Content that ranks. Content that converts. Content people actually want to read. I share my approach to content strategy, copywriting techniques, and how to create articles that bring traffic for years, not just weeks.
No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation about whether marketing makes sense for you.
