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.

“Most small business owners hate and avoid marketing their business. But there is no point in offering services if no one knows about them. Since I started working with Scott my classes have been filling consistently and well in advance.”

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.

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?

Base is $347 USD a month, or $497 CAD plus HST, with the website built free. There's a minimum term, and we agree on it together on the call. Growth is $1,247 USD a month, or $1,700 CAD plus HST, and only makes sense once Base is running. One extra client a month usually covers Base. Book a call and I'll give you real numbers, not a runaround.
