Appleton businesses do not have a lead problem
They have a follow-up problem. When we count, the enquiries are usually already there — they arrived on a Saturday and got a reply on Monday, by which point somebody else had already been out to quote. We find where Appleton work is actually leaking before anyone spends another dollar.
The gap between interest and payment
In most Appleton businesses we look at, the website gets visitors and the phone rings. What is missing is everything in between: nobody knows how many enquiries came in last month, which ones were answered, which went quiet, or what they were worth. You cannot fix a number you are not looking at.
What we do in Appleton
Five divisions, one team, for companies and for individuals. Most Appleton engagements start with one of them and grow into the others once the first is paying for itself.
Business Consulting
Who your Appleton business is actually for, what you sell, and how the sale happens — written down so every other decision has something to point at.
Branding & Design
Logos, brand systems, packaging, signage and print that survive contact with the real world. Built as a system with rules, not one file you are afraid to touch.
Web Design & Development
Websites and online stores for Appleton that load fast, say the right thing, give one obvious next step, and report back on what happened.
Advertising & Media
Search and social campaigns aimed at Appleton and the surrounding area, plus a plain-language teardown of what your competitors are doing that you are not.
AI & Automation
Follow-up that never sleeps, a chat assistant trained on your business, and internal tools that replace the spreadsheet holding everything together.
Search your own name
Then write down what a stranger in Appleton would conclude from the first page of results. For most people the answer is "not much." That is moment one, and it is fixable in a week — one place that clearly says what you do and who you do it for, with your best work first instead of fourth.
How we work with Appleton clients
A twenty-minute call first, at our cost, to find out whether there is anything here worth doing. If there is, you get the plan in writing with the number attached before any work starts. If there is not, we say so — that is a cheaper outcome for both of us than a retainer neither of us believes in.
We are careful about who we take on
We would rather have a handful of clients whose numbers we can actually move than a long list we service badly. If your business does not fit what we are good at, saying so early is worth more to both of us than a signed contract.
Steal our playbook: 10 pages on individual and business success
The same walkthrough we run on paying clients, written so you can run it yourself. Four moments decide whether a business grows or a career does. This shows you which one is costing you, and what to fix first.
- The four-moment audit — run it on your business or yourself in 30 minutes
- The 12-hour rule, and what it costs you to break it
- A follow-up sequence you can copy word for word
- What to track, and the three numbers that are worth a dashboard
Appleton questions, answered
How do you charge?
Retainers run $800 to $2,500 a month depending on scope. One-off projects start around $700. Everything is quoted in writing before it starts, and there are no percentage-of-spend fees hiding in it.
What happens on the first call?
Twenty minutes. We ask what the business does, where the work comes from now, and what happens when someone gets in touch. By the end you will have a ranked starting point, whether or not you hire us.
Do you need access to everything up front?
No. We ask for what a specific piece of work needs, when it needs it. You will get one clear list rather than a drip of requests over three weeks.
Can we start small?
Yes, and plenty of Appleton clients do. One project, see how it goes, decide about the rest afterwards. That is a reasonable way to buy from anyone you have not worked with before.
