I help businesses make money online. Here's what I've been up to.
If we haven't met: I'm Walker. I launch brands and businesses online and get them making money. Websites, Google, social media, a little AI magic, whatever it takes to get them there.
Here are three businesses I've worked with, each needing something completely different.
People wanted to stay there and couldn't book online, so every room meant a phone call. I built them a new site with booking built into it and got them to the top of Google.
The owner had a full time job and poured concrete on the side. I launched the brand and brought in enough work that he quit the job, went full time, and started hiring.
Wanted more people to notice the town and more locals paying attention. That turned into 9.8 million views across their social accounts in a year.
So there's no package. I look at what the business is actually missing and go build that part.
I've worked with plenty of businesses over the last ten years. These are five where I can show you exactly what happened.
Historic Route 66 landmark, Holbrook, AZ
People wanted to stay there but couldn't book online, so every reservation meant a phone call during front desk hours. I built them a new website with online booking and got it ranked first on Google.
Concrete contractor
Thirty years of concrete experience, worked nights and weekends around a full time job. I launched the brand, ranked it across five cities, and brought in enough work for him to go full time and hire a crew.
HVAC and AC repair
Brand new business, zero customers, nobody searching for their name. Thirty eight days later they were the first result on Google.
Local optometrist
A hometown practice built on word of mouth, losing ground to a corporate chain that owned the top of Google. Now they're the first office people find, they average over 90 calls a month, and they've grown to three locations.
Municipal website and social media
A Route 66 town that needed more visibility with travelers and more engagement from the people who live there.
Local Legends
Once a year I pick a business or nonprofit that has really shown up for its community and do the work for free. Sometimes that's a website, sometimes it's getting them found on Google.
San Xavier Mission is the one most people know. It has stood outside Tucson since the 1700s and is one of the most photographed buildings in the Southwest, and its website showed none of that. So I built them a new one and handed it over.
More about Local LegendsI have a chemistry degree from the University of Northern Colorado, class of 2016. I went because that's what everybody said you were supposed to do. Three months into my first job as a chemist, I sat down with a spreadsheet, ran the paychecks out over the next twenty years, and realized the math was never going to get me the life I wanted.
So I started my own business and spent the last ten years learning whatever it took to make it work: websites, Google, social media, sales, automation. Ten years later I've got the life I was running the numbers on back then.
That's also how I look at other people's businesses. A pretty site that doesn't ring the phone is an expensive brochure, and a ringing phone doesn't help if nobody follows up. So I build the whole thing, and I judge it by what it puts in the bank, not by how it looked on launch day.
The industry doesn't really matter. Concrete crews, eye doctors, motels, AC companies, even a whole city. The job is the same: get the right people to find you and choose you.
