My name is Michael Scott McGinn and I work specifically with the owners of businesses who want to gain traction in their local community and win new clients without having to gamble their money rolling the dice on traditional online marketing.

I have spent many years developing and refining a three-step system that will increase your visibility, build trust, and differentiate you from your competition even if they have been around longer than you have.

I also know that it is important to get fast results so my system does not require you to build a big website or waste endless hours shouting into the void of social media.
