About Maria Elena Duron
I believe small business owners deserve clarity and support, not confusion and overwhelm.
For more than twenty years, I have helped business owners, teams, and creators strengthen their visibility, build trust, and grow with confidence in a world that keeps changing faster every year.
I know what it feels like to carry a business on your shoulders.
To serve customers.
To manage operations.
To respond to messages while trying to stay present for the people who depend on you.
To keep up with search changes.
To try to understand AI while everything else still needs your attention.
I have been the one juggling all the roles.
I know the pull.
I know the strain.
I know how much clarity can change everything.
Clarity makes decisions easier.
Clarity lifts the weight.
Clarity opens space for you to do your best work.
This is why I do what I do.
1. Who I Am
Maria Elena Duron
AI and Visibility Strategist
Certified Chief AI Officer
Business Growth with Google Coach
International speaker and educator
I have trained more than eighteen thousand business owners.
I have been featured in Entrepreneur, U.S. News, and Fox Business.
My work is trusted for clear guidance, grounded strategy, and systems that help small businesses stay visible and confident as AI reshapes how people search and choose.
2. What I Believe
AI is the new operating system of business.
When you understand it, you unlock leverage.
When it is used the right way, it supports your best work without replacing your voice.
But AI alone is not enough.
People choose businesses they trust.
Search engines choose businesses they understand.
AI tools choose businesses with clear, consistent signals.
My work brings all three together.
Human judgment.
Practical AI support.
Visibility systems that stay steady over time.
3. How I Help
Every business I work with needs three things:
Clarity
Visibility
Support
I help you see the real picture of how people, platforms, and AI tools understand your business.
I help you strengthen your systems so you can grow without overwhelm.
I help you build simple AI workflows that save time while protecting your voice.
You do not need more effort.
You need clarity that supports your decisions.
