My Story

I'm Michael, a freelance marketing consultant based in Northern Illinois. After spending 12 years working in the construction industry, I decided to go back to college in 2011 and earn a degree in digital marketing from Dublin Business School (graduated 2013).

That combination changed everything. I'd seen firsthand how contractors and tradespeople get ripped off by marketing "experts" who speak in confusing jargon and charge thousands for mediocre results. I knew there had to be a better way.

Today, I specialize in one thing and do it exceptionally well: getting local businesses to rank in the top 3 Google Maps results through professional Google Business Profile optimization. My construction background means I understand what service businesses actually need—more phone calls, not marketing fluff.

What sets me apart is my use of advanced AI technology for Google Business Profile management. I leverage cutting-edge tools to analyze competitors, track algorithm changes, and optimize profiles with speed and precision that traditional agencies can't match. This allows me to deliver enterprise-level Google Maps optimization at small business prices.

My overhead is minimal compared to traditional marketing agencies. No expensive downtown office, no large sales team, no bloated administrative costs. Those savings go directly to you in the form of better pricing ($97/month vs $500-2000/month) and more hands-on service.

I also share what I learn on my YouTube channel where I break down Google Business Profile strategies in plain English—no jargon, just actionable tips you can use.
