I learned how customers think and how processes break. Apple taught me customer obsession. Accenture taught me systems at enterprise scale. Emerson taught me operational discipline. Then I spent 18 years applying all three to marketing. The typical consultant Thinks in keywords, impressions, and vanity metrics. Hands you a strategy deck, then leaves the execution to a junior team. Sells hours. The more manual the work stays, the more they bill. Recommends AI tools they read about last week. How I work **I think like your customer first.** What are they typing into Google and asking AI at 11pm? Your visibility gets built around those questions. **I implement what I design.** Strategy and execution from the same person, nothing lost in the handoff. **I have automated hundreds of hours** of work most teams still do by hand. My own agency runs on these systems daily. **I only recommend what I operate.** 75,000+ pages published and AI agents booking appointments are my daily infrastructure, not a slide. How it works ## Your fractional CMO and CRO, in one brain A marketing officer maps how you get found. A revenue officer makes sure every dollar turns into customers. Most owners cannot afford to hire either. You get both in one person, mapping your organic and paid growth so you win more leads and customers at the lowest possible cost per acquisition. Step 1 ### Audit the whole funnel Before I build anything, I map where you win and where you leak, across every channel, and find your cheapest next customer. - **Website:** converting, or just sitting there? - **Google Business Profile:** in the map pack in every city you serve? - **Organic and AI visibility:** found on Google, and cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews? - **Paid ads:** running? are they profitable. Not running? I tell you why not, and whether you should be. - **CRM and follow-up:** are leads captured and worked, or lost at 2am? Step 2 ### Build the strategy, organic and paid One plan for how customers find you and how they convert, every channel judged on cost per lead and cost per customer. - **Organic:** AI SEO, GBP, and a website built to convert, so it compounds for free. - **Paid:** Meta and Google ads only where they pay back, with the funnel to match. - **The mix:** the cheapest blend of organic and paid to hit your number. Step 3 ### Automate it with AI, reliably The part most agencies bolt together by hand until it breaks. I build it once, inside your CRM, so it runs without you. - **Speed to lead:** every call, form, and chat answered in seconds. - **Nurture and booking:** AI follows up by text and email until they book. - **Reviews and reporting:** reputation and dashboards on autopilot. ### The automation layer most agencies skip Most businesses run this by hand across five disconnected tools, so leads slip through and follow-up is inconsistent. I build the whole flow inside one CRM so it fires every time, day or night, and you see exactly what each lead cost. Lead capturedInstant text backSmart routingAI nurtureAppointment bookedRemindersReview requestReporting dashboard Get found GBP, AI SEO, website, and ads put you everywhere they search, organic and paid. Capture Landing pages, forms, and AI chat and voice catch every lead. Nurture and book Automated follow-up works the lead until the calendar fills. Deliver and review Reputation requests turn happy clients into more visibility. Measure One dashboard shows cost per lead and what to scale. Is this you? ## Who I work with, and who I don’t ### This is for you if - You run a local or growing service business (medical, dental, legal, financial, home services) and want more qualified leads without hiring a bigger team. - You want strategy and execution from one person, not a deck and a handoff. - You are ready to let AI run the busywork so your team stops drowning in it. - You measure success in booked calls and revenue, not vanity metrics. ### This is not for you if - You want the cheapest freelancer instead of the highest return. - You want a strategy document with no one to build it. - You are pre-revenue and shopping for a logo. - You expect overnight results with no access to your own accounts. What I do ## Strategy plus implementation, end to end Pick one lane or hand me the whole system. No. 01 ### Fractional CMO and AI Strategist One retainer, two jobs. I own marketing strategy and map where AI cuts cost and adds revenue, then build it. No. 02 ### Paid Ads and Funnels Meta and Google campaigns with human strategy and AI execution, engineered to turn clicks into booked calls. No. 03 ### Patient and Client Acquisition Complete acquisition programs for practices and service businesses, including workshop funnels we fill and run. No. 04 ### Visibility Engine, AI SEO Hundreds of geo targeted pages built to rank in Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. No. 05 ### AI Voice, Chat, and Reactivation Human like AI that answers, qualifies, and books 24/7, plus database reactivation that turns old leads into appointments. No. 06 ### AI Automation and Systems CRM, pipelines, smart lead routing, automated proposals, invoicing, and reporting. The admin runs itself. The full remit ## Everything a growth leader owns, run by one person Companies hire an entire team, or a $250K a year executive, to cover this. I cover the whole remit hands-on, organic and paid, strategy and execution, so nothing falls between the seams. Paid media and performance Search and shopping, Meta and LinkedIn, OTT and OLV, programmatic, display, and retargeting, all optimized to cost per acquisition, not clicks. $12.5M+ ad spend managed Lifecycle and retention Email, SMS, and push nurture, newsletters, and database reactivation that turns cold and old leads back into booked appointments. 1M+ leads generated Organic, SEO and AEO/GEO Programmatic SEO plus answer-engine optimization that gets you cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, distributed across YouTube, Reddit, and social. 75K+ pages, 54 AI citations Content and creative at scale Thought leadership, web, video, audio, and imagery produced with AI and always human reviewed, so you get testing velocity without the AI slop. Human in the loop Martech, CRM and measurement Enterprise CRM and GoHighLevel, data enrichment, multi-touch attribution, incrementality testing, experimentation, and live dashboards down to cost per lead. Attribution to booked revenue AI-native marketing systems I build marketing agents and automations on Claude and modern AI stacks that actually run campaigns, content, and reporting in production, not slideware. Agents live in production Demand gen and GTM Multi-channel campaigns and sequences across ads, email, webinars, landing pages, PR, and partner channels, aligned with sales from MQL to SQL to booked revenue. MQL to SQL to bookings Growth leadership I hire, lead, and mentor marketing and AI teams, stand up zero to one systems at scale, and translate performance simply for executives and boards. Co-owner and COO, 3x Inc. 5000 Events, webinars and guerrilla Live and virtual webinars, in-person events, partner channels, and unconventional guerrilla plays that create pipeline where paid media cannot reach. Live webinars driving signups Proof ## Real growth from real clients Actual performance data from businesses I built the growth engine for. Results you can verify. Featured case study · Legal ### A rival marketing firm told this client its rankings were “non existent.” The live data said number one. Oliverson Law DUI and Criminal Defense · Arizona A competing agency ran one scan and told the firm its Tempe rankings did not exist. I pulled the live Google map geo-grid the same morning. Across Tempe the firm ranks number one, in the top three for 100 percent of the grid. Across Kingman, an average map rank of 1.05. The honest way to measure local rank is a grid of points around each office, not a single scan from a misleading spot. How we grew it: we rebuilt the foundation and published a page for every practice area in every Arizona city, structured so the AI engines cite it. Ranked keywords climbed from 2,357 to 3,055, organic traffic value more than doubled from $47.6K to $101.3K a month, and the firm is now cited 54 times across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. $101.3K/mo was $47.6K Organic traffic value 3.2K/mo was 1.4K Organic traffic 3,055 was 2,357 Ranked keywords 1.37 100% top 3 Avg map rank, Tempe ![Tempe local pack geo-grid, average rank 1.37, 100 percent top three](https://realyticai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/5_Tempe_Search-Local-Pack.png) *Tempe geo-grid: average rank 1.37, top three across 100% of the map* ![Kingman local pack geo-grid, average rank 1.05, 100 percent top three](https://realyticai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/3_Kingman_Search-Local-Pack.png) *Kingman geo-grid: average rank 1.05, top three across 100% of the map* ![Semrush domain overview, February baseline, 47.6K traffic value](https://realyticai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/1_Semrush_Feb-2026_baseline.png) *February baseline: $47.6K monthly traffic value* ![Semrush domain overview, July, 101.3K traffic value](https://realyticai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2_Semrush_Jul-2026_current.png) *July: $101.3K monthly traffic value, more than doubled* Featured case study · Mortgage ### Top three across two very different metros: Muskegon and Atlanta.

Uprising Addiction Center · Shreveport, LA An addiction treatment center up against national directories with far more authority.
