Your Top 5
01The highest-impact fix
02The next break to close
03The foundation beneath it
Free · Built by hand · Our real day-one process
Find the break before you spend more.
Every Minnesota Marketing customer starts here. Before I build a website, improve search visibility, install automation, launch advertising, or step into a larger engagement, I find the problems that would keep the work from paying off.
Why this exists
I will not push traffic into a broken funnel.
A new website, better rankings, automation, or advertising can all help. They can also make an existing problem more expensive. That is why every paying Minnesota Marketing customer starts with this diagnostic.
You get the same process free. Keep the report. Fix it yourself. Give it to your team or current agency. Or ask Minnesota Marketing to handle the parts that fit.
Four parts · One order of operations
A complete look at how customers find you and what happens next.
The report separates the findings that matter from the software noise, then turns them into a practical order of operations.
01
The Search Review
A complete technical crawl and local-search review, followed by human notes on the findings that materially affect visibility, trust, or conversion. Software noise goes into a clear safe-to-ignore list.
02
The Funnel Review
Discovery, first contact, response, quotes, close, delivery, reviews, repeat business, and reporting. We trace the path and mark the breaks.
03
The Top 5
The five changes most likely to improve the business, ranked by impact, speed, and confidence. Each one names the right owner for the work.
04
The Straight Recommendation
Build the foundation, fix the operating system, add qualified demand, work more deeply, or use the report elsewhere. The recommendation follows the constraint.
A report you can inspect
Read page one first. Everything after it is the evidence.
These preview panels will be replaced with redacted pages from completed reports. The structure is final: Top 5, customer path, and the recommendation.

What should happen next
Placeholder preview shown. Real redacted report pages will replace these panels after approval.
The recommendation follows the evidence
Five possible next paths. No forced fit.
Build the foundation
Website, SEO, and Google Business Profile when the business is not ready to benefit from more traffic or automation.
Fix the operating system
Automation Suite when the foundation works but response, follow-up, CRM, reviews, or reporting leak.
Add qualified demand
Google Ads, Meta, or another channel when the destination and follow-up path are ready for more traffic.
Work more deeply
A monthly growth engagement when the constraint reaches across strategy, creative, acquisition, and operating cadence.
