Strategy Sessions with Chris

Sound Familiar?
- —You're spending money on ads but can't tell if they're actually working
- —Your agency sends reports full of metrics that mean nothing to you
- —You know you need a better marketing strategy — but don't know where to start
- —You've been burned by vendors who overpromise and underdeliver
- —Your website gets traffic but almost no leads or calls

Quick questions about the audit
What exactly does the audit cover?
A 30-minute personalized video walkthrough of your website, technical SEO, Google Business Profile, local and AI search rankings, reviews, competitors, and public social presence — what's working, what's broken, where you're losing leads, and the biggest opportunities. It's all done from what's publicly visible, so you never hand over passwords or account access.
How do I get my 90-day roadmap?
You receive your prioritized 90-day action roadmap alongside the video walkthrough in your inbox within 5 business days of acceptance and payment. It's yours to keep — implement it yourself, hand it to your team, or have us run it.
What happens right after I check out?
After your $497 payment clears, you're sent straight to a short intake form so Chris can tailor the audit to your real business — your website, your city, and your biggest concerns. Once you submit, Chris records your walkthrough and roadmap, and you get a confirmation email with a link to track your audit status.
What if nothing is wrong with my marketing?
That's a great outcome — and you still get the full $497 value. Chris isn't here to invent problems or manufacture urgency, so if everything's solid, the audit confirms exactly what's working and why, points out the few things worth tuning to squeeze out more, and hands you a 90-day roadmap focused on protecting and compounding what you've built rather than fixing what isn't broken. You get the same 30-minute video walkthrough, the same prioritized roadmap, and the same plain-English explanation of where you stand — just with a 'keep doing this' verdict instead of a 'fix this' list. Either way you leave with confidence and clarity, not a sales pitch.
Why is the audit delivered as a video?
Because a PDF can bury the real issues behind charts and jargon and leave you more confused than you started. Chris records a live walkthrough so you can see, with your own eyes, exactly what's broken, where leads are leaking, and the specific fixes that would move the needle — not a confusing report you have to decode. It's the difference between reading a diagnosis and watching the doctor walk you through it.
