Digital Marketing Services

Show Up on Google. Stay in Their Inbox. Fill Your Schedule.

Most businesses do one of these well. Doing all three is how growth compounds — and that's what I handle while you run the business.

How Digital Marketing Fits

Two ways: add-on, or standalone.

Digital Marketing is available as Power-Up Add-ons (Email Campaigns, SEO Intelligence) on top of a GirschWorks website subscription, or standalone if you already have a site you're happy with. Either way, the same person handles all of it. If you outgrow off-the-shelf tools and need a custom build, that's the Custom Software pillar.

Three Things, Done Right

Email, search, and Google Maps. Together they cover almost every way a new customer finds you online — and every way you stay in front of the ones you already have.

Email Marketing

Stay in front of customers who already know you.

Branded campaigns I write, design, and send for you. Your list grows through opt-ins on your site. Compliance and deliverability are mine to worry about.

What's included

  • Monthly campaigns written, designed, and sent for you
  • List growth through website opt-in forms
  • Bounce, complaint, and unsubscribe handling
  • Per-campaign open + click reporting

Search Engine Optimization

New customers find you before they find your competitors.

Google understands what your business does and ranks you for the searches that bring in actual customers. Your competitor is relying on luck. You're not.

What's included

  • On-page optimization (titles, meta, schema markup)
  • Local keyword targeting across Northeast Ohio
  • Page speed and Core Web Vitals tuning
  • Monthly ranking report in plain English

Google Business Profile

Half of local searches start on Google Maps.

If your profile is incomplete or outdated, the customer keeps scrolling. I keep yours complete, active, and the first thing they see when they search.

What's included

  • Weekly posts and photo refreshes
  • Every review answered within 24 hours
  • Q&A monitoring and updates
  • Service area + category optimization

How It Works

1

We Talk

Free consultation. What does growth look like for you?

More foot traffic, more inbound calls, more bookings, more email opens — we name the number that matters.

2

I Build the Engine

Email setup, SEO optimization, Google Business Profile cleanup. The foundation work most people skip.

Once it's in place, everything else compounds on top of it.

3

I Run It

Monthly campaigns, ongoing optimization, monthly reports.

You see results — the numbers, the names, the bookings — and decide what to do next.

Why Not Just Hire an Agency

Three Businesses, One Person

Most agencies do marketing. A few also build sites. Almost none also build custom software when your business needs it.

I'm a web developer, a software developer, and a digital marketer. Same person, all three. Your strategy stays connected because there's only one strategist.

Direct Access

Call, text, or email me. No ticket system. No account manager translating your request.

Changes happen in 24-48 hours, not two weeks.

I Use My Own Platform

Email sends through the same engine I built for every client. I know exactly what it does and why.

No third-party platform deciding to raise your price or shut down.

Most small businesses don't need an agency. They need someone who shows up, knows their business, and treats their growth like it matters. That's the job.

Questions I Get a Lot

Straight answers, before you have to ask on a call.

Can I hire you for marketing if I already have a website?

Yes. Digital marketing is available two ways — as Power-Up add-ons (Email Campaigns, SEO Intelligence) when you also have a GirschWorks website subscription, or standalone if you already have a site you're happy with. Either way, I work with what you have.

How long until I see results from SEO and email?

Email shows results in the first send — open rates, click rates, replies, bookings. SEO is slower — meaningful local-search movement typically takes 3 to 6 months. I tell you that up front because the wrong answer kills trust.

What if I'm already doing some of this myself?

Even better — I'll pick up where you left off. Most owners are running pieces of this already (a Mailchimp list they're behind on, a Google Business Profile they claimed but haven't touched). I take it over without making you start from scratch.

Do you handle paid ads — Google Ads, Meta Ads?

Not yet. I focus on the channels that compound for free — organic search, email, and Google Business Profile. When you're ready for paid traffic, I'll connect you with a paid-ads specialist I trust. I'd rather refer than do it badly.

The best marketing is the kind your customers don't notice — they just keep showing up.
