Honest advice. No retainers.
Strategy sessions for small business owners who want a clear plan, not a long contract. Tell me what you're trying to figure out. I'll help you sort through it.
For small business owners who are stuck on a decision.
Most small business owners don't need an ongoing consultant. They need someone to sit down for an hour, listen carefully, and give them a straight answer. That's what this is.
I'm a small business owner too. I give you the same honest take I'd want if I were in your seat, including when the answer is "you don't need what you think you need."
You're at a crossroads
Big decision coming up: rebuild the website, try AI, change your pricing, hire someone. You want a second opinion from someone who actually knows this space.
You're not getting results
You have a website. Maybe you've tried some things. But leads aren't coming in and you're not sure what's actually broken.
You need a plan, not just ideas
You've read the articles. You want someone to look at your specific situation and tell you what to do first, second, and third.
Things I help small businesses work through.
Website decisions
Should you rebuild or fix what you have? Which platform is actually right for your business? What does a website need to rank locally?
AI for your business
Is AI worth setting up right now, or is it hype for your situation? Which tools are worth the monthly fee? Where do you start?
Getting found on Google
What does local SEO actually require? Is your Google Business Profile working? Why are competitors ranking above you?
Pricing and positioning
How do you price services without scaring people off? How do you talk about what you do so the right clients show up?
Software and tools
What do you actually need vs. what are you paying for and barely using? How do you connect the tools you have so they stop creating busywork?
Reviews and reputation
How do you collect more reviews without nagging customers? What do you do about bad reviews? How does your online reputation affect your rankings?

Common questions
What kinds of questions can I bring to a consulting session?
Anything related to running your small business online. Common topics include: whether to rebuild your website or fix the current one, how to get found on Google in your city, whether AI is worth setting up for your specific business, how to price your services, which software you actually need, and how to collect more reviews. If you're not sure if your question fits, just ask.
Do I need to commit to anything after the first session?
No. Sessions are one-time and billed as you go. Some clients book one call and have everything they need. Others come back every few months when a new question comes up. There's no retainer, no contract, and no pressure to continue.
How is this different from hiring a big agency?
You talk directly to me, the person who will actually give you advice. No account managers, no upsell ladder, no boilerplate decks. I'm a small business owner too. I give you the same honest answer I'd want if I were in your seat.
What do I get after a session?
A follow-up email with clear next steps. For Strategy Sessions, that includes a written summary of what we discussed and a short action list. For half-day sessions, you get a detailed written plan. The goal is that you leave knowing exactly what to do next, not just what we talked about.
Can you help me figure out if I even need a website or AI?
Yes, that's one of the most common questions I get. Sometimes the honest answer is 'not yet' or 'you need something simpler first.' I'd rather tell you that upfront than sell you something you don't need.
