Your next marketing budget is hiding in your software bill.

Marketing changed the day AI did. I run AI-augmented marketing across your full funnel, cut the overlapping software draining your budget, and reinvest the savings into a marketing OS you own - website, CRM, and tracking built into your business, not rented. When the engagement ends, the engine stays with you.

01 / The diagnosis

Different businesses. Same kind of leak.

Founder-led businesses cluster into four shapes. The surface differs - the underlying leak is always the same. Money goes in. Attention spills out before it converts.

Local service

BarbersSalonsStudios

Booked by phone, found by word of mouth. Strong work, invisible online. The map and the search results decide who walks in, and right now they point elsewhere.

Leak: Invisible online

Events & ops

PromotersVenuesCoaches

Revenue rides on weekly cycles. Attendees come once and vanish. No follow-up engine means every event starts the audience from zero again.

Leak: No follow-up engine

Brand & product

DTCAppsFounders

A great product with no story and no path to it. Ads spend before positioning is set, so the dollar never compounds. Launch energy leaks before it lands.

Leak: The dollar never compounds

Multi-channel

RetailClinicsB2B

Five tools, none of them talking. Leads scatter across inboxes and spreadsheets. The funnel exists but nobody can see it, so nobody can fix it.

Leak: No single source of truth
Every leak above closes inside one 90-day build
02 / What I install

The whole funnel. One operator.

Most agencies hand you a fragment and call it a strategy. I build every layer of the system and connect them, so the website feeds the ads, the ads feed the CRM, and the CRM tells you what worked.

01
Foundation

Custom Websites

Sites that rank, convert, and load fast. Hand-built on clean code and wired for search the day they go live, not bolted on six months later.

Technical SEOSchema, Core Web Vitals, and crawl-ready structure from the first commit.
AEO / GEOBuilt to be cited by AI search and answer engines, not just ranked.
Local optimizationMaps, Google Business Profile, citations, and review velocity.
Conversion-first buildEvery page mapped to a next step, every step tracked.
02
Positioning

Brand & Go-To-Market

Positioning, messaging, and a launch system that compounds, not a logo and a wish. The framework that took HorseGrid from idea to a launched, patent-pending app.

Positioning & messagingThe leak found, the story sharpened, the audience named.
Brand style guideA system, not a screenshot - colors, type, and voice applied everywhere.
Launch sequencingA dated 90-day plan with owners, channels, and checkpoints.
App Store / ASOStore presence and conversion copy for product launches.
03
Demand

Paid Ads

Every platform, one operator. Built on the website and CRM I install, so spend is tracked end to end and tied back to revenue, not impressions.

Google & SearchSearch, Performance Max, and local campaigns.
Meta - FB & IGCreative testing, retargeting, and lead campaigns.
TikTok & emergingShort-form and new channels where your audience already is.
Full attributionEvery click traced through Tree CRM back to closed revenue.
04
The OS

Tree CRM

The operating system underneath it all. The software I built, install, and run - the engine that turns four marketing channels into one funnel you can actually see.

Unified inbox & pipelineEmail, SMS, Meta DMs, and deals in one conversation record.
Automations & sequencesFollow-up that fires on its own so no lead goes cold.
Events, invoicing, portalsTicketing, QR check-in, Stripe, and branded client portals.
Full-funnel attributionThe number underneath everything - what spend made what money.
03 / The mechanism

Four channels.
One engine.

This is the difference. Every channel I build feeds the same core, and the core tells you what worked. No fragments. No guessing. One connected system you own.

05 / The engine, live

I do not rent your operations.
I install them.

Real software I built and run. Tree CRM consolidates the CRM, email, scheduling, and automation you're renting separately into one system you own - so every channel reports to one place and the overlap tax disappears.

06 / Recent work

Founder-led businesses. Real installs.

07 / Who built this

Ten years in the funnel.

A decade inside agencies and in-house marketing + sales teams - building, scaling, sharpening my craft. Long enough to know which problems are real, which are theater, and which only got solved when the operator could run the website, the campaigns, and the software all at once. So I built the software, and I run all of it.

PMC is what I do now. Full-funnel marketing built by an operator who also ships the product. The CRM is the engine. The work is web, search, paid, and human-led, and you work with me directly, every engagement.

Most agencies will sell you more ads. I will show you why the funnel leaks, then install the system that fixes it, so the next dollar does more work.
