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

Nearly everyone starts with Base. Growth is for when it's running.

First make sure nobody who reaches out slips. Then, if you want more people looking, there's a second step.

Ongoing

Base

$347 USD/month, or $497 CAD + HST. Website built free.

You're already being searched for and messaged. This makes sure they find you first, and none of them slip. A site built or fitted with the lead catch system, local SEO and Google profile tune-up, missed-call text-back, follow-up on every lead, a review ask after every client, and a monthly count. Six-month minimum, then month to month.

For owners who get inquiries and lose some of them. Where nearly every client starts.

Ongoing

Growth

$1,247 USD/month, or $1,700 CAD + HST

Everything in Base, plus what makes more people look: ads, content, and list building. We meet monthly. I own the result, not just the tasks.

For owners whose system already catches every lead and who want more of them.

She wrote it, filmed it and taught it. I ran the Meta ads, the tracking and the nurture that filled it, in-person puppy playdates included.

Rebuilt the member base after Covid: ran the ads, the funnel, and the follow-up that turned a lead into someone walking through the door.

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

Six months, then month to month

A review and follow-up system needs a season to prove itself. After six months you stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.

What you'll have by day 90

Missed-call text-back, follow-up on every lead, and a review ask after every client, all live, plus two monthly counts in your inbox. If any of it isn't live by day 90, you can leave and owe nothing more.

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?

Base is $347 USD a month, or $497 CAD plus HST, with the website built free and a six-month minimum. 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.
