Marketing Help For Small Businesses, Without The Agency Price Tag

I’m Nick, the freelancer behind Ascent Small Business Marketing. Based in Northeast Ohio, I work one-on-one with small business owners both online and in person, who need real marketing help but don’t want or need to pay for a big agency. I handle the strategy and the day-to-day, so you don’t have to.

Whether your monthly marketing budget is $300 or $3,000, I build a plan around what your business has to work with.

What I Can Do For You

Instead of pre-set packages, I build a plan around what your business actually needs.

That typically includes:

SEO & Google Business Profile — Showing up when local customers search for you

Social Media Management — Consistent posting that sounds like your business, not a template

Google Ads & Meta Ads — Run and managed around whatever budget makes sense for you

Email Marketing — Newsletters and promos that turn subscribers into customers

Blog & Website Content — Writing, editing, and updating so your site never goes stale

Promotions & Launches — Planning and running campaigns when you have something to offer

If you are looking for something not on this list, contact us. There’s a good chance I can still help.

Why Work With a Freelancer Over An Agency

Affordable.

No agency overhead means your budget goes toward marketing, not office space and account managers.

Flexible.

I work around your budget and goals rather than forcing you into a preset package.

Direct.

You work directly with me, not a rotating cast of people who are unfamiliar with your business.

Month-To-Month.

No long-term contracts. I earn your work by doing it well, not by locking you in.
