Helping Small Businesses Build a Better Online Presence
Practical digital solutions for local businesses, solo founders & growing retailers.
Does any of this relate to you?
How I Help Small Business Owners
Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats and digital often gets pushed to the bottom of the pile. Maybe your website is outdated. Maybe your online store isn’t converting. Maybe you’re just not sure what’s working and what isn’t.​
​
-
“I know I need to improve my online presence, but I don’t know where to start.”
-
“We’re spending money on digital, but we’re not seeing results.”
-
“I need someone I can trust who gets it and doesn’t talk in jargon.”
​
You’re not alone. I work with businesses just like yours every day, helping them get clarity, make smart decisions, and take control of their digital presence.

Real Problems, Practical Solutions
We’re not showing up in local search.
I’ll review and improve your local SEO setup, Google Business profile, and site structure so more people nearby actually find you.
Our website isn’t converting.
I’ll audit your site and user journey, recommend UX updates, and guide or implement the changes needed to turn visits into sales.
We’ve outgrown our current website.
I’ll help replatform or evolve your digital infrastructure to suit your next stage, without unnecessary complexity or cost.
We don’t have an in-house digital team.
That’s where I come in. I’ll act as your experienced digital partner, available when you need, without the overhead of a full-time hire
