What I do

Three things. That’s enough.

A business owner does not need 14 services. He needs the phone to ring when someone nearby searches for the work he already does.

A site that answers

Phone in the header. Work they can see. Loads before they bounce. Built for a phone in a truck, not a design award.

Google that finds you

Maps, reviews, the words people actually type. So the company down the road stops eating your clicks.

Ads that earn the spend

When you want them. No cut of the budget. I tell you what a lead cost, not how pretty the graph looks.

One published trade win

North Shore Roofing

New site, Google, ads, review texts. Then they kept me on.

Massachusetts roofing company. Same playbook I use for businesses here.

How it works

What happens when you call.

No pitch deck. No junior account person. You get me.

01 · This week

I look at your Google and your site, or the fact that you don’t have one. I tell you why the other company is getting the calls.

02 · You see it first

If a new homepage would help, I mock it. You look before you spend. If it’s not useful, we stop.

03 · Then we talk money

A quote that fits the business. Month to month after we start.

How do I get a quote?

He previously worked as a Web Designer at GE and taught Web Design at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, Massachusetts.

Specific results are documented in the case studies at https://johnpottermedia.com/case-studies/, and the studio reports on leads, cost-per-lead and attributed revenue every month — not vanity metrics.
