Most business owners think they have a marketing problem...
But really, they have a visibility problem.

When your Google profile, website, and socials are clear and consistent, people say "yes" faster.

Start there - it's the simplest way to get seen and booked.

Congrats to Green Coast Market on their new website!

The Maxfields are amazing people with a fantastic business!

If you haven't stopped at Green Coast Market in Rockaway yet, put it on your list. It's and indoor farmers market and local maker incubator. They have delicious fresh produce, meats, breads, wines, ciders, beer, handmade treats and gifts, etc, etc, ect. It is awesome, and much needed.

Such a pleasure to work with Julie and Jason. Thanks for the trust and I'm excited to see all the great things you will do for Rockaway and beyond.

I almost skipped posting today.

The anxiety is anxiety-ing hard right now, and everything feels like too much.

Showing up and sharing consistently isn't always easy.

Some days I feel like I could take on the world, and others, I feel like if I'm too real, people will pull away.

But here's the truth: some people will pull away, and that's okay.

Because the ones who stay? They're the ones who really see you.

Being real attracts the people who root for you, and thats exactly who you want in your corner.

So here's to showing up as ourselves - anxious, tired, vulnerable, cranky... but still showing up.

If your marketing (or your mood) feels heavy right now, same.

It's okay to take a day off to breathe.

It's also okay to throw the scheduled content out the window, be honest, and see who else relates.

Who else is struggling today? 💛

I'll be honest... for a while, my social media was a mess.

I'd post when I remembered... or when I felt "inspired"... aka rarely.

Some weeks I'd post 3 times. Others, not at all.

And of course, I felt like social media "just doesn't work for me."

Then I started taking my own advice to my clients, and made a solid plan.

I built a simple system around 3 content pillars (the topics my clients deal with the most), and themed days that keep me on track.

Now I know exactly what to say, and more importantly, why I'm saying it.

I spend less time creating, and get more consistent results.

If you're feeling scattered with your marketing, start by picking 3 pillars. Everything else gets easier from there.

I am currently working on a free social media playbook explaining this exact process. Let me know if that sounds interesting & stay tuned.

You don't need to be everywhere; you need to be strategic where it matters.

Most business owners waste hours posting across platforms that don't convert.

Instead, choose one space where your audience already pays attention and commit to showing up with attention for 90 days.

That's how visibility turns into trust, and trust turns into customers.

Curious which platform makes the most sense for your business?

If you've ever wondered what I actually do for local businesses, here's the no-fluff version:

- I design websites that dont just look good. They make you money. They're fast, mobile-friendly, and built to turn visitors into customers.

- I optimize your Google Business Profile so people can find you. Because a beautiful site doesn't matter if you're buried on page 4 of search results.

- I create simple digital strategies that connect your website, local SEO, and social media. Every effort you make online should work together, not in silos.

It's not about chasing trends or posting more.
It's about making your online presence work harder for you, so your time, money, and effortless actually pay off.

If that's what you've been looking for, you're in the right place.

MYTH: If you build a great business, people will just find you.

TRUTH: The internet doesn't reward "best", it rewards VISIBLE.

You could be the best in town, but if your website loads slow, your Google Business Profile is empty, or your competitors are posting, they'll get the call first.

If you've ever wondered why "lesser" competitors seem busier... this is why.

You deserve to be found. Let's fix that.

Hey friends 👋 it's been a minute since I've properly showed up here.

I've spent the past few months behind the scenes refining what I do and who I do it for. The truth is, I love helping business owners feel confident online. Whether that's through a clean, strategic website or a simple digital marketing plan that actually fits their business.

I've realized my passion isn't limited to one specific industry - its about working with location-based service businesses doing meaningful work and helping them look as good online as they do in real life.

So if you're running a small business and you're ready to be found, trusted, and booked , this page is for you.

Here's to making your business the one people find first... and remember.

Trying to maintain active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube? That's a recipe for burnout and mediocre results.

Instead, identify where your ideal customers are hanging out and focus on showing up there.

Instagram = visual storytelling
Facebook = community building and event awareness
Email marketing = nurturing leads
LinkedIn = B2B
TikTok = fun/educational videos
