Clear priorities & practical improvements.
Know where you stand, and what to do next
You get a plain-English view of your current digital set-up: what is working, what is weak, what matters most, and what I would fix first if it were my business, charity or club.
A website that turns interest into action
Your website should load quickly, explain what you do, build trust, and make it easy for the right people to enquire, book, donate, register, volunteer, call, or get involved.
Easier to find on Google
Most people still start with Google. I help clean up the basics that make your organisation easier to find and understand there — clear pages, local search, accurate business details, and tracking that shows what is working.
Ready for AI search
AI search is still new, but the job is practical: make your website and digital footprint easier for tools like Google AI results, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude to understand.
Ad spend you can track and improve
If you are running Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta ads or LinkedIn ads, you should know where the money is going, what is being tracked, and what needs to change before more budget goes out.
A digital set-up you actually understand
You should not need to become a marketer, developer or analytics person to know what is happening. I explain the set-up in plain language and leave you with something you can act on.
Ongoing help that keeps things moving
If you keep working with me, I don’t wait for something to break. I keep an eye on the wider set-up, flag what needs attention, suggest sensible next steps, and help you keep improving without having to manage every digital detail yourself.
// Who I help
Digital marketing for small businesses, charities and sports clubs.
I’m based in Melbourne and work with three kinds of organisations across Australia.
Small businesses
Australian founder-led businesses with an existing website and digital set-up that needs a proper look and a clean-up, not a brand built from scratch.
Learn more →Charities & not-for-profits
ACNC-registered charities, NFPs, community groups, and allied-health organisations doing good work that needs to reach more people.
Learn more →Sports organisations
Semi-pro clubs, leagues, associations, and academies — any membership-funded sports org needing clearer digital presence.

Digital marketing services I can help with.
Most projects combine two or three, picked after a look at your current set-up. SEO & Analytics ★ comes first: tracking goes in before anything else, so you can see what the rest of the work is producing. If your customers are mostly nearby, local SEO for Melbourne businesses is the map-pack side of that foundation.
Web Design & Hosting
A clear, fast website people can understand, trust, and contact you through. Custom-built and easy to keep updated, with one person handling design, hosting, performance and fixes — so you always know who to call.
SEO & Analytics ★
Help people find you, and stop making digital decisions from guesswork. Search setup across Google and Bing, tracking that works (GA4), and the local SEO basics. Everything else builds on this.
AI SEO & GEO
Make your organisation easier for AI tools to understand, mention, and explain properly. It builds on the SEO and analytics foundation, with visibility checks across the five major tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI results).
Google Ads
Reach people already searching for what you offer, with tracking in place before money starts going out. Google Ads first and Microsoft / Bing Ads when your audience is there, for a flat monthly management fee — ad spend goes straight to the platform.
Meta Ads
Get in front of the right people before they're actively searching for you. Meta (Facebook + Instagram) and LinkedIn — useful for getting in front of people who'd be a good match but don't know you exist.
// Why work with me
Why hire a consultant like me?
As an independent marketing consultant in Melbourne with 14+ years of experience, I provide experienced digital judgement, practical implementation, and proactive, ongoing support to Australian small businesses, charities, not-for-profits and community sports organisations.

I’ve worked across startups, ASX-listed companies, indie product studios and consulting — across marketing, sales, business development and product. I’ve also worked with values-led and not-for-profit organisations, so I understand that digital decisions are not just about “growth”; they also need to make sense for time, budget, trust and governance.

It depends on what you need, so I keep the starting points public. Every first call comes with a free Basic Digital Health Check. An In-Depth Digital Health Check starts from $300, and ongoing monthly help starts from about $1,000 a month. No GST is charged at this stage. You’ll know the price before any paid work starts, and ACNC-registered charities get 25% off.
