The problem

Hiring marketing help is guesswork

Everyone pitches first

You hear what they sell before anyone looks at what's actually broken.

You can't check the work

Reports full of jargon and charts, but no clear answer to "did my phone ring more?"

The basics get skipped

Unanswered reviews, missed calls and an incomplete Google profile cost more than most ads fix.

Why it's free: it's the fastest way for you to see how I work. Some owners take the list and fix it themselves. Others ask me to do it. Both are fine.

What I check

5 areas, each scored 1 to 5

Every score comes with the reason behind it, so you can see exactly why.

1

Google Business Profile

Claimed and verified, categories, hours, photos, services, description, booking or menu link.

How you show up
2

Reviews & reputation

Count, star rating, how recent they are, and whether you reply. Google, Yelp and Facebook.

Why they trust you
3

Website or online presence

Phone speed, tap-to-call, clear next step, local search basics. No website? I review what customers find instead.

What they see
4

Lead response

What happens when someone calls after hours, fills a form or sends a DM. I test it like a customer would.

Who gets the job
5

AI search visibility

I ask ChatGPT and other AI tools for your type of business nearby and show you whether you're named.

We call, text and DM you like a customer

Sample data. Your report uses your real profile, reviews and website.

How it works

Two minutes from you. The rest is on me.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Name, website if you have one, and your biggest headache. About 2 minutes.

  2. I do the checking

    Your public profiles, reviews, website, and a test call or message like a customer.

  3. You get the report

    Scores, ranked fixes and a 5-minute video, within 48 hours.

  4. Optional walkthrough

    A 15-minute call if you want it. Ask questions, or just take the list.

No passwords, no access. I only look at what any customer can see. If you hire me later, you add me as a manager on your accounts and can remove me any time.

Who does the audit

Ernest Collins, EC² Digital Services

Florida native based in Temple Terrace (Tampa). Before EC², I ran my own exterior cleaning business for 6 years and worked hands-on jobs from cable installation and steel fabrication to forklift operations and overnight receiving. Every one of them taught me the same thing: a missed step costs real money. I look at your marketing the same way. I find where customers fall through, fix the biggest gap first, and show you the numbers.

Questions

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. You keep the report and the video whether or not you hire me.

Do I have to get on a call?

No. The walkthrough call is optional. The video covers everything.

Do you need my passwords?

No. I only review what's public, the same things your customers see.

I don't have a website. Is it still useful?

Yes. I review your Google, Yelp and social profiles instead, and score what customers find when they search for you.

What happens after?

If you want help, fixes start at $49 and the Get-Started Bundle is $200. If not, the list is yours to work through.

Will you spam me?

No. I'll follow up once after the report. Tell me to stop and I will.
