Sound familiar?

Most owners start with one of these

If any of them sound like you, you're in good company.

  • I'm doing a bit of everything online, but there's no plan.
  • I don't know which channels deserve my time and money.
  • My website looks fine, but nobody gets in touch or books.
  • I pay for ads and can't tell if they work.
  • I don't show up when people search for what I do.
  • I'd love to do it myself, but I don't know what matters most.

Services

Pick the help that fits where you are

Most people start with a review. You can stop there, or keep going.

How it works

Simple, and you decide at every step

No long contracts to begin with, and no jargon.

    You tell me about your business and your goals. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.

  2. A review and a plan

    I look at what you have across your website, search, social, email and ads, then send a plain-English list of what to do first, and why.

  3. You choose what's next

    Follow the plan yourself, learn with me, or keep me on for monthly advice. No pressure either way.

Questions

What owners usually ask

Is this only about ads?

No. I cover your overall marketing plan and the digital side: website, search, social, email and advertising. Paid ads are my deepest specialism, but I only recommend them when they make sense for you.

How much does it cost?

The first chat is free. After that, I'll give you a clear price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Do I need a big budget?

No. Lots of small businesses start small. I'll help you decide what's sensible, and sometimes the right first step is fixing your website or Google listing, not spending more on ads.

How soon will I see results?

Ads can bring enquiries within weeks. Other work, like showing up better in Google search, takes longer. I'll tell you what's realistic before you commit.

Will you take over my accounts?

No. Your ad and website accounts stay in your name. I advise and train, and you keep full control.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I work with businesses across Ireland by video call, and I'm happy to meet in person if you're nearby.
