Medina, Ohio
Local-first email, SEO, and Google Business Profile for Medina County businesses. Real numbers, not a retainer.
GirschWorks is headquartered just off Medina's historic public square. My most-cited client is a Medina-area agritourism business whose email program I run end-to-end. The numbers below (99.6% deliverability, a 20.7% click-to-open rate about three times the industry average, and a list that grew from 12,000 to 20,000 in two months) are real and they're local.
The playbook that works for them works for a Brunswick shop, a Wadsworth practice, a Hinckley contractor. Local-first marketing because Medina County is a local-first market — your customers find you on Google Maps before they find your website, and your email list is the most valuable audience you'll ever own.
I run email, SEO, and Google Business Profile from the same desk. Same person who built your website, same person managing the campaigns, same person on the monthly strategy call. No account managers, no creative team handoffs, no agency markup.
Your Medina business gets a website, the software behind it, and the marketing that fills its calendar — all from the same person.
Hand-coded sites that load fast and rank on Google. Built around your Medina business, not a template.

Local numbers from a local client — a Medina-area business whose email program I took over from their previous agency. Organic list growth through website opt-ins. No purchased lists. No spam. No shortcuts.
Straight answers, before you have to ask on a call.
For most Medina small businesses, the order is: Google Business Profile first (because Medina County customers search for local businesses on Google Maps before they look at websites), email marketing second (because your existing customer list is your highest-ROI audience), and local SEO third (because it compounds slowly but pays for years). I run all three from the same desk.
It depends on what's included. Just GBP management runs less than email + SEO + GBP combined. We talk through what you actually need on a free call — sometimes the answer is "start with GBP only and add email after we see results," sometimes you need all three from day one. No retainer minimums, no setup fees you didn't agree to.
If your GBP is complete, posts weekly, has fresh photos, every review is answered, and the Q&A section is active — no, you're set. If any of those is missing (which is true for most Medina businesses), there's meaningful traffic you're leaving on the table. GBP is the most under-leveraged free tool a Medina business has.
Yes — and small lists often outperform large ones because the audience is more engaged. I'll grow your list through website opt-ins and ensure every send is professionally designed, deliverable, and compliant. A Medina-area client I run goes out to thousands now; they started smaller. The system scales as the list grows.
