Growth partner for service businesses

Grow your business without becoming a marketer.

I'm Scott. I become the marketing department for owner-run service businesses. The strategy and the build, both handled, so you can do the work you're actually good at. A partner, not an agency you have to manage.

Two ways to work together

Most clients want a partner. Some just need a website first.

A lot of growth work doesn't need a new site at all. So there are two ways in.

Ongoing

Growth Partnership

Around $1,750/month

I become your marketing department. Ads, funnels, automated text and email follow-up, email marketing, and blog content. We meet regularly. I own the result, not just the tasks.

For owners ready for a partner, not a project.

Project

Foundation Build

From $1,500

A fast website built to bring in leads, with the systems to capture them. You own everything. Where a lot of clients start.

For owners starting fresh, or rebuilding from something broken.

Selected work

Sites that bring in work, not just compliments.

A good-looking site that no one finds is a brochure. I build sites that show up in search, load fast, and turn visitors into leads. Yours to keep, no platform lock-in. For a lot of clients, this is where the partnership starts.

About

You get me. Not an agency.

I'm Scott Douglas. Since 2018 I've helped owner-run service businesses grow. Fitness studios, dog trainers, wellness businesses. The kind of owner who is great at the work and would rather not think about marketing.

I work with a few clients at a time, closely. No roster, no account managers, no handoff to a junior. When you hire me, you get me.

I will also tell you the truth. Sometimes marketing is not the problem. If that is the case with your business, I will say so before you spend a dollar.

I work with clients across Ontario and beyond. One partnership has run fully remote from Boston for five years, so where you are is not a constraint.

What you can count on

Month to month

No long contracts. You stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.

A fit guarantee

If the first month doesn't feel right, we part ways. No hard feelings, and you keep everything we built.

You own everything

Your accounts, your code, your domain. I work in your house, and nothing leaves with me.

Get in touch

Let's see if we're a fit.

I take on a limited number of partners at a time

Tell me about your business and what you're trying to grow. If I can help, I'll tell you what that could look like. If I can't, I'll tell you that too. No pitch, no pressure.

Questions

Good things to ask.

Do I need a new website to work with you?

No. Plenty of growth work runs fine on the site you already have. A website is one way in, not a requirement.

Are you an agency?

No. You work with me directly. No account managers, no junior handoff.

Do you handle social media?

I build the strategy and the content plan. Most clients create their own posts, since you know your voice and your customers best. If you'd rather hand it off, I can bring in someone to create. What I always own is the strategy and the systems that turn attention into booked work.

Where are you based, and do you work remotely?

Ontario. I work with clients across Ontario and beyond. One partnership has run fully remote from Boston for five years.

What does it cost?

Foundation Builds start at $1,500. Growth partnerships are scoped to your business and start around $1,750/month. If you're after a one-off or working with a smaller budget, a build is usually the better first step. Book a call and I'll give you real numbers, not a runaround.
