Get More of the Right Customers From Google
Whether you run a local business or a B2B manufacturer, I help you show up, get found, and turn that into real customers — not just clicks. Serving Winona, MN and surrounding areas. Which best describes you?
The real problem
Your Customers Are Already Searching. Are They Finding You?
Whether someone's looking for a company that makes what you build, or just asking around town for someone who does what you do, they're probably starting on Google.
Your website, your Google Business listing, your reviews, and now even AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini that people ask for recommendations — if even one of those is missing or out of date, that customer finds somebody else instead.
And you'd never even know it happened.
Which one is you?

Based Right Here in Southeastern Minnesota
If you're nearby, I can sit down with you in person — Winona, La Crosse, and the towns around here. Not a call center. Not a time zone away.
If you're a manufacturer somewhere else in the country, you get the same direct access — just over a call instead of coffee.
Not a generalist. Not an agency.
I Look at the Whole Picture, Not Just Your Ads
I've actually worked inside businesses like yours
17 years as a mechanical draftsman, 20 years helping businesses advertise online. Not marketing theory — I've been on the inside.
You talk to me, not a call center
No account managers, no junior staff. You deal with the person who actually knows your business — every time.
Ads are only part of it
If your ads aren't bringing in the right customers, sometimes the ads aren't even the problem — it could be your website, your listing, or something else entirely. I look at the whole thing, not just the ad account.
How I help
How This Works
Same approach whether you're chasing quote requests or trying to get the phone to ring.
Step 1 — I take a real look at what's happening right now
Your website, your Google listing, your ads if you have them. No assumptions about what's broken.
Step 2 — We fix whatever's actually keeping customers away
Could be your site, your listing, tracking, or something else entirely. Whatever the real issue is gets fixed first.
Step 3 — I keep an eye on it and explain what's happening
Plain English, direct access to me. No jargon, no reports you can't read.
Client results
What clients say
" Corey gives me up to date, thorough assessments of how we're doing — no sugar coating. I have seen a big spike in activity off our website and we're getting more calls from customers who could have only found us by doing a search. We're on the map now... Business is up 33%. We made the right move. "
Dan Miller
Operations Manager, OZ Lifting
" I've done a lot of jobs off word of mouth over the years, but Corey helped me actually show up on Google — now people find me before I ever hear about them from someone else. "
Randy Burgett
Handy Randy of Winona LLC ★★★★★
" Corey listens to your product's story and mixes in his intuition for what customers are searching for. The results we obtained with his services were 100x what I could have done alone. His work is equal parts art and science — something you usually don't find in a single person. "
Caylan Larson
Founder, Semireg Industries
" Corey took the time to understand what we do and made sure people searching nearby could actually find us. "
Jeff Viestenz

" Corey gives me a more clear understanding of the perils and possibilities of Google. He has a bulldog attitude when it comes to really digging into the details. I would recommend Corey to anyone — he has the best practical knowledge of Google of anyone I've ever worked with. "
Scott Zosel

If Google Isn't Bringing You the Right Customers, It's Usually Not Just One Thing
None of this means Google can't work for your business. It usually means nobody's looked at the whole picture yet.
"We're getting clicks and calls, but not the right ones."
You're spending real money every month and something's happening — but it's the wrong customers, or not enough of them.
"We hired an agency — or tried it ourselves. It didn't work."
Promises made, results vague, a system built for a much bigger budget than yours spending your money the same way. Now you're skeptical of everyone — which is completely reasonable.
"I don't even know what I'm paying for."
You ask what's actually happening and get a vague answer back, or a report you can't read. That non-answer tells you everything.
"Other people are finding customers, and I don't know why we're not."
You know you're good at what you do. You just can't figure out why the phone isn't ringing more.
What it costs to wait
Every Month This Goes Unaddressed, It Compounds
It doesn't fail loudly. The real cost is never the ad spend — it's the time spent guessing instead of knowing.
Already running ads, or already relying on word of mouth
It fails quietly — a little more spend on the wrong searches, or one more season a little slower than the last. Nobody notices until a customer mentions they didn't even know you were still around.
Someone else is already showing up instead of you
A competitor could be advertising to your exact customers right now — in your industry or your town — and you'd have no idea until you'd already lost the business.
Still Not Sure Which One Is You?
Pick whichever sounds closer to your business. Each path walks through exactly how this works for you — real examples, real numbers, no pitch required to look.
The other side of this
“I've Got a Guy Who Actually Understands My Business.”
That's the line clients reach for when this works — not a stat. Here's what's underneath it.
The right customers find you first
The right kind of customer, reaching out — not tire-kickers, not people who were never going to buy.
You can explain the spend in one sentence
No shrugging when someone asks what the money's doing. A person made the call — and you know why.
Marketing runs quietly in the background
Plain-English updates, direct access to me. The rest of your time back on the actual work.
You know the business is going to be okay
Not "hope." Know. A pipeline that doesn't depend on referrals, luck, or guesswork.
