The person behind the work

One person.On purpose.

I use AI the way a good contractor uses power tools—for speed, never instead of judgment.

I run a one-person shop on Cleveland’s west side, working with local businesses in Lakewood and Rocky River. AI helps with the first draft. I bring the judgment, the editing, and the local context.

You get a real conversation, plain pricing, and work reviewed by someone who has walked past your building.

Two towns only.Human-reviewed work.

Straight answers

Questions I get asked

What does a small business website actually cost around here?

With me, a refresh of the site you already have is $499, and a clean new site of up to five pages is $900. I don't take on sprawling builds, and I don't do ecommerce unless you already run it through an outside vendor like Toast. One round of revisions is included, and there's an optional $49 a month if you want small tweaks handled as you go.

Do you only work with businesses in Lakewood and Rocky River?

Those two towns are the focus, on purpose. I'd rather know the block your building sits on than pretend to serve the whole state. If you're just over the line and the work makes sense, call me anyway and we'll talk honestly about whether I'm the right fit.

What is an AI review analysis, and what do I get for $175?

I pull your public reviews and your closest competitors', then group them into what people praise, what they warn others about, and what they wish you offered. You get a one-page verdict, a pros-and-cons infographic, and a fix list ranked by how often the issue comes up. It takes about a week. If you want it ongoing, $75 a month watches new reviews, flags the bad ones early, and drafts your replies.

What is the difference between the review analysis and the SEO analysis?

The review analysis is about what people already say about you. The SEO analysis is about whether they can find you at all — what Google can and can't read, how your map listing stacks up nearby, and which searches you're missing. That one is $299 for the one-pager. Plenty of businesses only need one of the two, and I'll say so.

Isn't AI-written content going to sound generic?

It is, if nobody edits it. I review every line myself — nothing ships that sounds like it came from nowhere. AI handles the first draft; I bring the judgment, the editing, and the local context.

How fast can you turn something around?

A video short runs about three business days. Review analyses and SEO one-pagers take about a week. Websites are one to two weeks, and employee survey cycles run two weeks. If your timeline is tighter than that, tell me up front and I'll say yes or no straight.

Do I have to pay a monthly retainer?

No. Every service has a one-time price you can just buy. The monthly options — review monitoring, ad management, ranking tracking, site upkeep — are there if you want them, and you can cancel anytime. With social ads you pay the ad budget straight to the platform; that money is always yours, never mine.

What happens on the first call?

It's free and short. You tell me the town, the business, and the thing that's bugging you, and I tell you what I'd do first and what it costs. If the honest answer is that you don't need me, or that someone else is a better fit, that's what you'll hear.
Ask first, buy later

Not sure what you need?

No pressure, no sales pitch. Tell me what's going on and I'll point you the right way — usually the same day.
