Six-Step Growth Roadmap for Startups & Small Businesses

Built from 10+ years in the trenches

Six practical steps to stop getting lost in the market — and start winning customers in the US.

We've sat in dozens of founders' kitchens and shop back rooms. Tight budgets, fierce competition, no time to "figure out marketing." This roadmap is the playbook we use to create a clear brand, reach the right people, turn clicks into calls, and follow up until the deal closes.

If this sounds familiar, you're our people

Patterns we see again and again with US startups and small businesses:

"We blend in."

You offer something great, but prospects can't tell you from the next guy. Your story is generic, visuals look like everyone else's, and you're stuck competing on price.

"We're doing a lot, but nothing adds up."

Website, Instagram, a few ads — yet inquiries are random. No clear funnel, no KPIs, no follow‑up rhythm. Leaks everywhere.

"Budget and time are tight."

You can't hire a big agency. You need a simple plan that respects time and cash — and still moves the needle this month, not someday.

The 6‑step process (we execute it with you)

A comprehensive approach to building your brand and acquiring customers

01

Brand identity that's recognisable from across the street

We sharpen your value proposition, tone of voice and visuals so people immediately "get" who you're for and why you're different.

Deliverables: Brand message, mini guidelines (logo, colors, type), homepage copy.

02

Audience focus (real buyers, not guesses)

We interview customers, mine reviews, and map pains & jobs‑to‑be‑done. Then we position you where the buying happens.

Deliverables: ICP profile, top pains & triggers, channel plan.

03

Digital home that converts

Single‑minded landing page with proof, offers and friction‑free contact. Built fast, mobile‑first, tracked properly.

Deliverables: Landing (Webflow/Carrd), Google Analytics, basic SEO, Google Business Profile.

04

Content that sells (not just gets likes)

We package short proof pieces: before/after, 60‑sec reels, simple how‑tos that answer buyer questions and push to action.

Deliverables: 8–12 assets: case snapshots, reels, email & DM templates with clear CTAs.

05

Proactive client acquisition

Lists of 50–150 targets, personalised outreach on LinkedIn & email, plus low‑waste local ads (Craigslist/Yelp/Google).

Deliverables: Prospect list, 2 outreach sequences, a starter ad set.

06

Follow‑up system that closes the loop

Most deals close on touch #4–#6. We put in a simple pipeline and weekly cadence so no lead slips through.

Deliverables: Lightweight CRM (Sheet/Notion), follow‑up scripts, payment & e‑signature setup.
