Nothing here needs a budget.

Most marketing advice assumes you can hire someone. This can't. Every move is something you can do yourself, with a phone and an hour, before you spend a dollar on ads.

They're in order on purpose. The first three make sure that when someone finally looks you up, they find a business worth choosing. The next three make sure people look. The two after that make sure the ones who look actually call. The last two make the whole thing compound instead of resetting every month.

Running ads to a business with four reviews and a phone number nobody answers is the most expensive mistake in small business.

What's inside

Four phases, ten moves

Do them in order and don't skip ahead. Each one assumes the one before it is done.

Phase I

Be worth finding

01Say what you do in one sentence

02Own the map before you chase the feed

03Build a review engine, not a review habit

Phase II

Be seen

04Post proof, not polish

05The first three seconds are the whole ad

06Three pillars, one shoot day, thirty posts

Phase III

Be easy to buy from

07Answer in five minutes

08One page, one action

Phase IV

Make it compound

09Own the list — then mine it

10Three numbers, one page, every Monday

Every move comes with a play, a today list you can tick off, and a note on where it usually goes wrong. The page remembers where you left off, on whatever device you read it on.

The run sheet

Twenty minutes a day, thirty days

The guide is the thinking. The run sheet is the doing — one task a day, in the order that actually works.

Week one

Get findable

Write your one sentence. Claim and fill your Google profile. Upload twenty photos. Put the sentence in four places.

Week two

Stop leaking

Start asking for reviews at handoff. Turn on missed-call text-back. Write three canned replies. Answer every review you already have.

Week three

Build the machine

Add photos to the job checklist. Write ten hooks. Run your first three-hour shoot day. Schedule the whole month.

Week four

Make it compound

Cut your page to one action. Export every past customer. Send your first monthly email. Build the Monday scoreboard.

When you've outgrown it

You can do all of this yourself. Until you can't.

Most of what's in the pack you should be doing yourself — at your size, hiring an agency is usually a mistake. But there's a point where you stop being the person who does the marketing and start being the bottleneck. That isn't a discipline problem, and no course fixes it. The pack ends with a call.

60 minutesScreen sharedYour accountsNo deck

Included

Sixty minutes, screen shared

Your actual accounts, not a slide deck. Bring whatever you've been sitting on since you started the run sheet.

Included

What the thirty days produced

What moved, what didn't, and whether the ceiling checklist is telling you the truth about where you are.

Included

A straight answer either way

If you've got room left to run this yourself, we'll say so. That happens more often than not, and it saves us both a bad engagement.

Included

What working together looks like

Only if it's a fit — and what you paid for the pack comes off your first invoice when you start within ninety days.

No pitch on the call. If the honest answer is that you should keep running this yourself for another six months, that is what you'll hear.

Two ways in

Read it yourself, or read it with us

Same pack in both. The difference is whether someone sits down with you at the end of the thirty days.
