“I had a great experience working with Robert. Before we even met, he was already proactive in identifying operational and infrastructure gaps within my business systems. What stood out most was how clearly he prioritized the next steps I should take to make sure everything is set up correctly especially before scaling with ads. Robert is also an excellent listener. He took the time to really understand my concerns, challenges, and goals, and every recommendation he made was backed by data and real strategy rather than guesswork. I left the conversation with much more clarity and confidence in the direction of my business. Highly recommend working with him if you want someone who is thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely invested in helping your business grow.”via Google

- Contact us for a free consultation
Tell us where you are and what you want more of. The first conversation costs nothing and you are not handed to a salesperson.
- We walk through the business with you
We go through how work reaches you today, what is leaking, and what your options actually are. You hear the trade-offs, including the ones that argue against spending money.
- We present a proposal
A written proposal built on what we discussed, with scope and price set out plainly. Nothing in it will be a surprise from the conversation.
- You sign, pay, and we get to work
Once you approve it we start delivering, and you get the numbers as it runs rather than a report at the end.

Whenever I had questions they were answered quickly, and in a way that made it easy for me to understand. I was in need of a professional to streamline my operations and I was completely satisfied with all of the help I received. Highly recommend!!”via Google

Common questions
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Local small businesses of every type. Trades, clinics, shops, studios, professional practices and nonprofits. The work is the same underneath: get found, get booked, and stop losing time to busywork.
Do I have to buy everything?
No. Most people start with one thing, usually the website or the ads, and add later if it earns its place. Nothing is bundled to pad an invoice.
What does a website cost?
Sites are built on SturdyWeb, our own platform, on flat-rate pricing that covers the build, hosting, maintenance and monitoring. There is no separate five-figure build fee.
Is SEO extra?
No. Search setup and ongoing search work are included while your site is on SturdyWeb. So is Google Ads campaign management. They are part of the platform rather than separate line items.
How fast can we start?
An assessment can start the week you ask for one. A new site is usually live within a few weeks, depending on how quickly we can gather your content.
Are you a big agency?
No, and that is on purpose. You work with the person doing the work. If that person is on holiday you will be told, not handed to an account manager.
