Your Smart Roadmap™
When AI and Visibility Stop Paying Off, This Shows You Why
An expert-led diagnostic for businesses ready to stop guessing and course-correct with confidence.
Understand how AI and visibility are actually working so your effort pays off.
Most small business owners are not struggling because they lack discipline.
They are struggling because they are carrying too much.
You are serving customers.
Managing operations.
Responding to messages.
Trying to stay visible.
Trying to understand AI and search changes.
Trying to make good decisions with limited time and limited bandwidth.
There comes a point when even one more decision feels heavy.
You are not behind.
Your brain is full.
The Smart Roadmap shows whether your AI and visibility efforts are actually helping you and what to correct first so effort finally pays off.
You walk away knowing exactly how to move forward.
What the Smart Roadmap™ Is
The Smart Roadmap is a one to one, expert led diagnostic for your clarity, visibility, and AI advantage.
It is not a course.
It is not a checklist.
It is not a generic audit.
It is a focused session where we look at how Google, AI tools, and real people understand your business and what that means for your growth.
We look at:
your website
your listings and reviews
your local and map presence
how you appear in search
how AI tools describe you
your current tools and workflows
You see where your signals are clear and where they are confusing.
You discover how AI can actually support business outcomes in ways that save time and reinforce what you already do well.
The Smart Roadmap is also the starting point if your goal is to use AI in a practical and strategic way.
Many business owners come into the Roadmap because they want to understand how AI can support their work, save time, improve decisions, or reduce the mental load on their team.
If your focus is AI implementation, we spend more time mapping your current tools, workflows, processes, and opportunities.
You learn where AI can give you real leverage, how to adopt it safely, and how to use it in a human led way that protects your voice, your values, and your brand.
Whether your priority is visibility, AI, or both, the Smart Roadmap gives you a clear path forward.
How the Smart Roadmap™ Works
How It Works
Step 1:
Start with your Smart Roadmap session:
If Google and AI cannot see you clearly, buyers cannot find you easily.
That means missed leads and lost sales, even when you are very good at what you do.
In your Smart Roadmap session, we:
scan your website, listings, reviews, and local presence for gaps in Google, search, and AI visibility
map your existing tools and workflows so we can see where AI can save you time and create leverage
review your trust signals from both a human and platform point of view
identify what supports your visibility and what is quietly working against you
You are not left with a list you have to decode on your own.
You get a live, expert strategy conversation that helps you set real priorities.
Step 2:
Your prescribed path to growth:
Once we see where you are, we outline your best next moves.
There is no guessing and no long menu to figure out alone.
You get a clear, prescribed path and a plan you can put to work right away.
Every Smart Brand System plan is built around four growth pillars:
Clarity
Visibility
Credibility
Profitability
Some clients use their Smart Roadmap to strengthen visibility first.
Others use it to design practical AI systems, workflows, or tools that lighten their load.
Your Roadmap shows which path will create the biggest shift for you.
Depending on your goals and readiness, your Smart Roadmap may guide you toward one or more of these proven phases:
Smart Brand Alignment: A full health check for your Google presence, AI readiness, and trust signals.
You receive an executive style alignment report with clear next steps.Smart Brand Sync: Connect your Google tools, close visibility gaps, and implement the AI systems you actually need.
Your strategy becomes a working engine.Smart Brand Scale: Build AI supported workflows, strengthen your content and campaigns, and train your team for long term growth.
Quarterly Visibility Intensives: Seasonal tune ups that keep you competitive, discoverable, and converting as things change.
You choose the pace and the depth.
Your Smart Roadmap tells you which path fits you best.

What Happens in a Smart Roadmap™ Session
This is a working session, built around your real priorities.
Together we move through three main areas:
Google and platform scan
We look at your website, listings, reviews, and search presence.
You see how you are showing up today and where you are hard to find or understand.
AI alignment and strategy check
We map your current tools, workflows, and tech stack.
We highlight where AI can give you real leverage, from simple automations to smarter content and systems.
If your main priority is AI adoption or implementation, this part of the session becomes the focus.
Trust signal and growth review
We review the proof that helps both customers and platforms trust and choose you.
If AI implementation is your focus, we spend more time there.
You see what is clear, what is confusing, and which changes will have the most impact.

Testimonials
“For the first fifteen minutes on the call, the questions Maria asked made me feel like I was immersed in a pool of eye-opening insights that I’ve never imagined myself. I’ve dabbled with marketing agencies, and it all felt like I was in a jail cell. I never knew where my leads come from, I had no idea of the keywords they were bidding for and didn’t even have no information of the account my ad was ran through, but Maria was so patient to learn what my business is about and poured her heart with great recommendations, which made me strongly believe that she genuinely meant for my business to do great with the way she asked me questions and made suggestions. I am used to 15min-30min onboarding call with marketing agencies that only resulted in them trying to shove their service or online course down my throat, but with Maria, the call lasted for about two straight hours during which Maria solely empowered me on how to get my business visible without a sales pitch
If you are still sitting on the fence thinking about if you should get on the call with Maria, do yourself the high favor and jump on it, and you will not regret it one bit.
Thank you so much Maria….you are so appreciated!”

-Rachelle Little, Agility Home Improvement
“I cannot speak highly enough about this Roadmap. As a content creator focusing on growth, I realize the importance of being able to be seen in the way that aligns with my uniqueness and authentic areas of interest. The Roadmap is on point and gives me the perspective and steps to reach my target audience.”
-Susan Scampini, Hen and Horse Design
“Getting Into My Head: In the process Maria was very professional and, at the same time, excited to learn about me, my business, and my plans—and how she could help make those things come to life. She is extremely people-oriented, obviously energized by being able to apply her vast knowledge, not only of Google and internet marketing, but also of people and their needs. Mechanics and procedures are fine and necessary as far as they go, and she does check those boxes. But adding her own passion for excellence makes the entire process of working with her very positive.
At that meeting she asked a well-thought-out series of in-depth questions. They centered around my goals, what I’m passionate about (hearing, relating and telling interesting and exciting stories), what I bring to the table for potential clients, the nature of my work procedures, examples of what I’ve done in the past and more.
Producing a Plan: She developed a Google Roadmap for me that has opened my eyes to the possibilities. I’m greatly looking forward to implementing the strategies she outlined, and getting my writing business heading to the top!”
