Two halves of the same job.
Take the manual work off your people, and sharpen the go-to-market it frees them for.
The right AI, built into how you already run.
I map how the business actually works, then find the few places it saves the most time, usually inside tools you already own. No rip-and-replace, no platform to learn.
You get the hours back. I keep the theater out.
- Operations mapping
- Tool & license audit
- Automation candidates
- Where AI is theater
- Buy-vs-activate calls
- Rollout & handoff
A multi-location field-service company: three moves, no new software.
- 01Activate: CRM scheduling. A feature already in their plan, switched on.
- 02Standardize: Google Business Profiles. Consistent across every location.
- 03Build: a digital inspection form. Replaced the paper one techs carried.
Growth built on evidence, not a template.
Pricing, positioning, segmentation, and local presence, all set from what your numbers and market actually show. The plan is specific enough to act on Monday.
And simple enough to keep running as you scale.
- Pricing & margins
- Positioning & messaging
- Customer segmentation
- Market & competitor research
- Local presence & search
- Reviews & reactivation
Two places the same business was losing money: one in pricing, one in spend.
- 01Reprice: the underpriced SKUs. A cost-plus audit found margin given away.
- 02Recover: the SEO retainer. An outside vendor billing monthly, under-delivering.
- 03Reclaim: the local search work. Brought back under the owner's control.
Eight ways I help you grow.
Take one, or the whole engagement. Each is scoped to what actually moves your number.
AI Readiness & Activation
Find where AI actually pays off, and where it's just theater. Usually the answer is switching on what you already pay for, not buying more.
Operations Mapping
Map how the business really runs, end to end, so you can see where automation belongs before you spend a dollar on it. I write down how the work really moves, step by step, so a person or a machine can follow it.
Marketing & GTM Plans
A clear plan to reach the right customers and grow, built on what your numbers and market actually show.
Pricing & Margins
Price with confidence. Find the margin you're leaving on the table and put a defensible structure in place.
Local Presence & Search
Get found where customers look: Google Business Profile, local SEO, and the questions buyers actually ask.
Reviews & Repeat Business
Turn happy customers into reviews and win back past ones, usually with tools you already pay for.
Market & Competitor Research
Know the field: who the players are, what they charge, and where the opening is for you.
Customer Segmentation
Focus time and spend on the customers worth the most, not every account the same way.
I didn't read about this. I rebuilt my own practice on it.
A market model that matched the big firms
I built a trade-area saturation model and tested it against a top-tier consulting firm's study, the kind built on expensive licensed data. Mine used free public data and code I wrote. The two agreed at a correlation of 0.86.
Research at a scale that shouldn't be affordable
A pipeline I wrote profiled and ranked every competitor across 21 jurisdictions, the kind of sweep that normally means a research team and a six-figure budget.
Common questions.
