[ The approach ]

Fewer channels, done properly, measured honestly

The most common small-business marketing mistake is spreading thin: a neglected Instagram, a newsletter that went quiet in March, blog posts written for no one in particular. Channels only pay when they connect — content that answers real customer questions, social that distributes it, email that brings people back to buy. One system, one voice, one measurement.

I start by asking what a customer is worth and where your next ones are most likely to come from. For some Vancouver businesses that is local social presence and reviews; for others it is a monthly email that quietly out-earns everything else; for most it is content that feeds search rankings while giving social and email something worth sharing. The plan fits the answer — not a package template.

Everything routes back to your website, where conversion tracking shows which channel actually produced enquiries. And where repetitive work can be automated — scheduling, follow-ups, reporting — I wire that in so the budget goes to thinking, not admin. Book a free consult and get a one-page marketing plan with priorities and honest costs.

One monthly email now brings back more repeat customers than everything we tried before, combined.

[ FAQ ]

Digital marketing questions, answered plainly

What do your digital marketing services include?

Strategy, social media, content creation, email marketing and analytics — assembled per client, not sold as a fixed bundle. Your plan includes only the channels likely to pay back at your budget, itemized in writing.

How much should a small business spend on marketing?

+

A useful rule of thumb is 5–10% of revenue, but the honest answer starts smaller: fund one or two channels properly rather than five thinly. I will tell you in the consult what I would cut, which costs nothing to hear.

Which channel should I start with?

+

Usually the one closest to money: email if you have any list at all, local search and reviews if customers find you on Google, content if you compete on expertise. Start where return is fastest, reinvest from there.

How long before marketing shows results?

+

Email and social can produce responses within weeks; content and SEO compound over months. Your report tracks both so quick wins fund the long game — and you always know which is which.

How do you measure whether it’s working?

+

Enquiries, calls, bookings and sales attributed by channel in GA4 — not follower counts. If a channel cannot show a line to revenue after a fair trial, I will be the one recommending we stop paying for it.
