Chapter 05 · Strategy

Marketing intelligence you can actually use.

This is for an owner who's already paying for a site, ads, or search, and still can't tell whether the month worked. The numbers live in too many places, the CRM is a graveyard, and last year's spend just rolled forward.

Illustrative concept

Scope

What I do

01

Analytics you can read

I set up GA4 so a lead is a lead, and I send a short monthly note: what ran, what came back, and what I'd change. I don't send a dashboard nobody opens.

02

Competitive analysis

I look at who else shows up when your buyers search, and what they say that you don't. I use that to decide what the site and the ads should say. I don't invent a market-share number.

03

A CRM that matches how you sell

Zoho is my default. If you already use HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, I work in that. The stages match the real sale, and a web inquiry lands on one record.

04

A quarterly decision

Once a quarter I put the numbers in one place and you and I decide what to keep, what to stop, and what to try next. The output is the decision, not a slide deck.

05

The links between the tools

I connect the form, the CRM, and the tracking so a lead isn't lost between them and the report doesn't contradict the inbox.

06

A yearly plan with the money beside the work

I write the plan as a working page: what the money is for, what it should produce, and when I'll check it again. It's not a document you file in January.

The plan

How it fits your ongoing marketing plan

Without the site, the ads, the words, and the follow-up, there's nothing to measure. Without this part, those pieces run and you still can't tell which ones to keep.

Start

How it works

  1. 01Book a discovery call. I ask what you look at today when you try to tell whether the month worked.
  2. 02I tell you whether the first fix is the tracking, the CRM, or a decision you've been putting off.
  3. 03If you hire me, I set that up and the monthly note tells you what changed.

Proof

What I'll put my name on.

I've been doing this since 1995, and I do the work myself. I won't claim a review paid for itself, because I don't have a number I'm willing to put on this page.

Questions

Before you decide.

Do I have to switch to Zoho?

No. Zoho is my default because it fits most owner-run businesses I work with. If you already run HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, I work in what you have.

I already have analytics. Do I still need this?

Maybe not. I look first. If the numbers match the leads you actually get, and you can read them, I'll say so. If they don't, I'll show you the gap before I sell you a rebuild of the setup.

What's the quarterly conversation?

A working call. I send the quarter's numbers beforehand. You and I leave with a few decisions for the next ninety days: keep, stop, or change.

Can I start with the numbers only?

Yes. Most owners start with the piece that's actually broken, usually the tracking or the CRM. The rest of the plan waits until that picture is readable.

What does this cost?

The ongoing marketing plan starts at $999 a month. On the call I'll tell you what this part includes. I don't bill open-ended hours.

Book a discovery call.

If you can't tell whether the month worked, book a discovery call. I'll tell you the first number I'd make trustworthy.
