You invested in a beautiful website.
But your competitors with ugly sites are still getting the business.

Here’s the hard truth:
A great website without Local SEO is like a billboard in the desert.

No one’s driving by.

You need to be visible in local searches, map results, and the top of Google when people nearby are ready to act.

Local SEO turns your website from a digital brochure into a lead-generating machine—right where your customers are.

🚀 Turn your website into a lead magnet with the StoryWorks Local SEO Starter Pack – $3,999

Here’s what you get:
✔️ Ideal client search term discovery
✔️ Local SEO website audit and updates
✔️ Optimization of your Google Business profile
✔️ Citation building campaign (45 directories)
✔️ Local keyword grid with ranking metrics
✔️ Review strategy support
✔️ One blog + press release to drive authority

💥 We’ve helped dozens of small businesses go from invisible to unavoidable in local search.

🎯 Your customers are searching. Let’s make sure they find you.

🤷‍♂️ Are you guessing what keywords to rank for?

If you're like most small business owners, you’ve probably asked:

    “What should I even be showing up for in Google?”

You might be targeting the wrong terms… or not targeting anything at all.

What should you do if you have no idea what keywords to target?

Here’s the deal:

✅ Your customers aren’t always searching the way you think they are
✅ Keyword strategy is the foundation of your visibility
✅ Without the right keywords, you’re invisible—even if everything else looks good

With The Local SEO Growth Plan – Helping you go from invisible to seen by the right customers, we help you stop guessing.

We’ll:

    Identify the real search terms your ideal customers use

    Optimize your site and Google profile around those terms

    Track what’s working and what’s not

    Position your business to rank where it matters

🎯 SEO without strategy is a shot in the dark.

Marketing shouldn’t feel like a race you’re always losing.

If you’re constantly scrambling to post, write, or launch — something’s broken.

We help you slow down, plan ahead, and get back in control:
🔹 Batch content so you’re not creating every day
🔹 Use systems for scheduling and follow-up
🔹 Work in sprints, not chaos

You can’t lead when you’re always catching up.

"I don’t have time to market AND run my business." — Is this you? 

You’re busy running the business.

Marketing keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

I get it — but without marketing, your pipeline eventually dries up.

Here’s how we help:
✅ We build a focused plan that doesn’t eat up your time
✅ We set up systems that run in the background
✅ We help you delegate and automate

You shouldn’t have to choose between growing and surviving.

You didn’t start your business to become a full-time marketer.

But now you feel like you’re supposed to master everything from SEO to email funnels.

You don’t need to be a marketing expert. You need a strategic partner.

Here’s what we help you do:
✅ Clarify your message
✅ Focus only on what works
✅ Build a simple plan that doesn’t overwhelm

You do what you do best — we’ll help the right people find you.

Have leads, but they aren’t converting?

Getting leads is one thing. Turning them into customers is another.

If people are coming in but not saying yes — we need to dig into your funnel.

Here’s where I start:
🔸 Is your messaging clear and compelling?
🔸 Do you have a strong, visible CTA?
🔸 Is follow-up consistent and helpful — or just “checking in”?

We can fix this.

Schedule a call and let’s turn your leads into customers.

If you keep asking yourself, “Should I be doing more?”—you’re not alone.

More emails. More reels. More ads.

But the answer isn’t always “more.” Sometimes it's a better strategy.

With our fCMO services, we help you simplify, prioritize, and move forward with confidence.

Let’s fix the chaos and build a plan that actually works.
