Fresh ideas for local business.

I help High Desert businesses bring customers in the door — with text message marketing, a Google listing that actually works, and simple websites. No agency contracts, no marketing-speak, no LA prices.

Get found. Get customers. Get back to work.

What I do

Three things, done right.

I don't sell forty services I can't deliver. I set up the three tools that move the needle for a local business, run them for you, and show you the results in plain numbers.

Text Message Marketing

Your regulars are your best customers — a text list keeps them coming back. I build the list, write the texts, and handle the technical side. You approve every message before it goes out.

"Hay truck just landed." "Chick days this Saturday." "Slow Tuesday — 10% off till close."

Google & Reviews

When someone nearby searches for what you sell, you should be the answer. I claim and clean up your Google Business Profile, get your hours and photos right, and help you build the reviews that make people pick you.

The listing is free. Most owners just never have time to fix it. That's the job.

Simple Websites

Not a $2,000 agency build — a clean, fast page with your hours, your phone number, and what you sell, that shows up when locals search. You own it when it's done.

One-time build, small monthly fee to keep it updated and running.

About me

I'm Doug Wade.

I live in Phelan, and I spent over fifteen years helping run a scrap yard — payroll, customers, slow Tuesdays, and equipment that breaks on the worst possible day. I know what it's like on your side of the counter, because I've stood there.

What I noticed is that the marketing tools big companies use — text lists, Google, modern websites — are cheap or free now. The problem is nobody has time to learn them while they're running a business. So that's what I do: I set them up, I run them, and I hand you the results in numbers you can check yourself.

No forty-page contract. No jargon. If it isn't bringing customers in the door, you shouldn't be paying me — and I'll be the first to say so.
