You Can: Kick Off the Training Wheels and Fly Past Your Competitors
Do you remember the first time you rode a bike?
The wind was blowing in your face, you were grinning from ear to ear, and feeling the pure satisfaction of freedom.
Wait, the first time? It probably didn't feel like that!
It's more likely that first ride left you terrified that the next rock would topple you over and you'd come crashing down to the ground. Even now, you can probably almost feel the stinging in your palms. You desperately wanted to look back and make sure mom or dad was still hanging on, but the thought of turning your head ever so slightly was petrifying.
Learning to get found on Google is like that first bike ride. You will inevitably topple. There will be skinned knees. But with practice. and someone running alongside you, you'll be flying past your competitors, cruising at breakneck speeds around Google, and loving the freedom from the demands of social media.
Here's what the Academy Live ride is like...
Kick the training wheels off your Google know-how and spend more time doing what you love—working IN your business, not just ON it.
Attract more local customers who are ready to buy and see real results on your bottom line.
End the game of whack-a-mole and create lasting content that compounds over time, working for you 24/7.
Learn the simple steps needed to get your business found in more searches—without the tech overwhelm.
Be the solution your customers are searching for—right when they need you most.
Find an easier, more predictable way to generate revenue in your business, month after month.
Stop wasting time on platforms and activities that don't move the needle and focus on what actually brings in customers.
Spend less time on marketing and more time doing what you love.💖
End the frustration and hours of clicking around trying to figure it out on your own.
This is the freedom Academy Live will give you.
The confidence to ride solo. The know-how to navigate Google like a pro. And a predictable revenue stream that lets you sleep soundly.
ARE YOU...
Relying on Discounts to Drive Sales?
Tired of slashing prices, running promotions, and offering incentives just to get customers through the door? There's a better way to attract buyers who value your expertise—not just your lowest price.
Feeling like a slave of social media?
You're posting daily, chasing likes and followers, but hearing crickets when it comes to actual sales. You're exhausted by the time-suck of creating content, dancing, pointing, and performing for an algorithm that doesn't pay your bills.
Wasting Time on Tire Kickers Who Never Buy?
Your inbox and phone are full of people asking for quotes and estimates, but they never turn into paying customers. You're spending hours on people who are just shopping around—not ready to commit.
Unsure How to Get on the 1st Page of Google?
You know being at the top of Google search results matters, but the "how" feels overwhelming and confusing. You don't need to be a tech expert—you just need the right roadmap and someone to guide you through it.
Watching Your Competitor Dominate Google While You Struggle?
The guy down the street always shows up first on Google and seems to have a steady stream of customers walking through the door. Meanwhile, you're left wondering what they know that you don't—and how you can level the playing field.
Frustrated by Unpredictable Revenue Month After Month?
The feast-or-famine cycle of small business is exhausting. One month you're booked solid, the next you're scrambling to fill the calendar—and you're tired of never knowing what's coming next.
