STEVE MANN
01
What I help with.
I work on the problems local small businesses actually feel when marketing isn’t pulling its weight.
-
People don’t clearly understand what you do.
-
The website looks fine but doesn’t lead to calls.
-
You get inquiries, but not the right ones.
-
Money goes out every month, and it’s hard to tell what’s helping.
That’s the work.
02
Make it clear.
If someone can’t see why you are better in a few seconds, they move on. I fix that with:
-
Clear, plain-English wording on your homepage
-
A powerful explanation of who your services are for
-
One clear reason to choose you over similar businesses
-
Removing vague and confusing language that makes you sound like everyone else
This often improves lead quality without increasing spend.
03
Turn visits and calls into prospects.
Many local websites get traffic but don’t convert.
I help fix the things that quietly get in the way:
-
Too many options instead of one clear next step
-
Phone numbers or forms that are hard to find on mobile
-
Service pages that list services without explaining results
-
Small wording and layout issues that reduce response
This is usually cleanup, not a full redesign.
04
Getting a steady flow of leads.
When leads come in waves, marketing feels stressful.
I help you:
-
Focus on one or two ways leads actually come in
-
Stop chasing every new idea or channel
-
Reduce dependence on referrals alone
-
Build a steady baseline of inquiries
The goal is consistency and stress reduction.
05
Stop losing potential customers.
A lot of marketing return is lost after someone contacts you.
I help put simple follow-up in place so:
-
Calls and forms get answered faster
-
Fewer inquiries fall through the cracks
-
The right person handles the lead
-
You close more of what you already earn
This often improves results without changing marketing at all.
06
How I work with you.
I’m not an agency.
I work directly with business owners and small teams. When it helps, I act as a part-time marketing lead — setting direction, managing vendors, and keeping work focused without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
The goal is steady progress you can actually see.

Frequently asked questions
What do you actually do for small businesses?
I help local small businesses make marketing clearer, simpler, and more effective. That usually means cleaning up how the business explains what it does, improving how leads turn into calls and inquiries, and bringing focus to what’s worth doing and what’s not.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
I work with local small businesses that are past the DIY stage and want more predictable results from marketing. This often includes professional services, healthcare practices, home services, and local business to business providers.
Do you work with very small businesses or solo operators?
Yes, as long as the business is established and wants to improve how marketing brings in customers. Readiness to make practical changes matters more than company size.
Are you a marketing agency?
No. I’m not an agency. I don’t sell bundles of tactics or long retainers. I work directly with business owners and small teams to bring clarity, direction, and follow-through.
What does "part-time marketing lead" mean?
It means I act as your marketing lead without being a full-time employee. I help set priorities, guide decisions, manage vendors when needed, and keep marketing focused on r
Do you replace our current marketing vendor or agency?
Not necessarily. If you have a vendor doing good work, I help make them more effective. If things are unclear or unfocused, I help clean it up and decide what to keep or change.
How is this different from hiring a full-time marketing person?
A full-time hire is expensive and often unnecessary for small businesses. I provide experienced marketing guidance and leadership on a part-time basis, without the overhead or long-term commitment.
How quickly will I see results?
Many small improvements show up quickly. Larger impacts usually happen over 60 to 90 days.
Do you focus on digital or traditional marketing tactics?
I focus on whatever helps the business get more calls and inquiries. That often includes website improvements, local search, reviews, follow-up, and vendor coordination. The best tactics drive results, no matter what they are.
Do you work locally?
Local small businesses are my primary focus. Working locally allows for better understanding of your needs, better tactics, and better results.
Do small businesses really need AI for marketing?
Most small businesses don’t need “AI.” What they need is marketing that works better. AI is useful when it speeds up effective marketing, If it doesn’t do that, it’s not worth using.
Will AI help me get more leads?
It can. AI can figure out what’s working, create new content faster, and speed up marketing improvements.
Whats the best way to get started?
The best first step is a short reset to identify what’s blocking results and what to fix first. From there, we decide whether ongoing help makes sense.
