Personal help for local service businesses

Customers don't hire the best business.
They hire the one they see first.

When homeowners need an HVAC tech, a plumber, or a cleaner, they call one of the first few businesses that show up on Google — then they stop looking. If that's not you, you're losing jobs to companies that aren't better than you. Just easier to find.

You run your business. I'll make sure homeowners find you.

The problem

You're already busy running your business.

Between estimates, employees, payroll, scheduling, and customer service, there's no time left over. And somewhere along the way, marketing quietly became another full-time job you never asked for.

That's where I come in. I become an extension of your business — the person who handles the "getting found online" part so you can focus on the work you actually want to do.

A normal week already includes

  • Estimates to write
  • Employees to manage
  • Payroll to run
  • Trucks to schedule
  • Customers to call back
  • Jobs to finish

Marketing shouldn't be item #7 on that list. Let someone who does this every day handle it for you.

The difference

I personally review every business.

When you work with me, you're not getting software with a friendly logo on it. You're getting a strategist who sits down, looks at your business, and tells you exactly what to fix — in plain English.

Compared with automated local SEO audits, generic agencies, and DIY tools, Own Your ZIP Code is different because I personally review your Google Business Profile, reviews, website, and competitors — then build recommendations around your ZIP code and service market. It's ideal if you want expert strategy without managing an agency team or decoding another generic report.

No automated reports.

I look at your business myself — not a dashboard, not a bot.

No outsourced agencies.

You'll never get passed to an account manager or an overseas team.

No generic recommendations.

Every note I send is written for your business, in your ZIP code, against your actual competitors.

What I look at

Here's what I actually check.

Six things quietly decide whether homeowners find you or your competitor. Most owners aren't looking at any of them — because nobody told them they should.

Your Google Business Profile

The single most valuable piece of online real estate you own — and the one most local businesses ignore.

Your reviews

How many you have, how recent they are, what people say — and how that compares to the folks winning your jobs.

Your competitors

Who's showing up above you, why they're showing up, and what they're doing that you're not.

Your website

Whether homeowners can quickly see what you do, where you work, and how to reach you.

Your local search presence

How you appear across maps, directories, and the searches homeowners actually type.

Missed opportunities

The small, boring fixes that quietly bring in more phone calls month after month.

The ZIP Framework™

A memorable model for category-defining local businesses.

Z
Zero in on Visibility

Make sure the right customers can find you when they're searching.

I
Increase Trust

Reviews, reputation, proof, and signals that turn searchers into believers.

P
Prioritize Growth

Focus on the improvements most likely to move the needle on revenue.

The math

Small improvements. Big revenue.

You don't need a "campaign." You need a handful of the right adjustments — the kind that put you in front of homeowners already searching for exactly what you do.

    Every month I check in, adjust, and keep pushing you higher in your ZIP code.
