Private Strategy Sessions

Start with the size of the decision in front of you.

Sometimes you know exactly what is holding up your next move and you simply want an experienced answer.

Other times, several things are connected. Your website, Google visibility, content, reviews, AI, or business workflows are all part of the conversation, and what you really need is help sorting through the options and deciding what deserves attention first.

You do not have to buy a larger strategy engagement when one focused conversation will do. Start with the level of help the decision actually requires.

ONE FOCUSED DECISION

investment: $250

20-Minute SMART DECISION SESSION™

You know the question. You have probably been turning it over in your head, asking different people, or putting off the decision because you want one experienced recommendation before you move.

Submit one focused question in advance about Google visibility, practical AI use, content, positioning, or a related business decision. Maria Elena reviews it before your appointment so your time together can be spent working through the decision rather than getting caught up in background.

Includes

  • Short pre-session intake form

  • One focused question submitted in a single sentence

  • One supporting page, document, screenshot, or URL

  • 20-minute private Zoom session

  • Recording of the session

  • Brief decision summary with up to three next steps

This session is intentionally narrow. If your question requires research, a formal audit, technical troubleshooting, implementation, or several connected decisions, one of the options below will be a better fit.

SEVERAL CONNECTED QUESTIONS

investment: $650

60-Minute EXECUTIVE STRATEGY Consultation

Sometimes the problem is not one question. It is that every answer seems to lead to another decision.

You may be weighing changes to your website, Google Business Profile, AI visibility, content, workflows, AI use, or implementation priorities and want enough time to talk through how those pieces affect one another.

This private consultation gives us room to look at the situation together, weigh your options, and identify the decisions that deserve your attention now.

Includes

  • Pre-session intake form

  • 60-minute private Zoom consultation

  • Strategic guidance across connected questions

  • Google visibility, AI, workflow, or content recommendations

  • Help prioritizing the decisions discussed

  • Recording of the session

  • Immediate next-step recommendations

This consultation does not include a formal audit, detailed research, a written strategic plan, implementation, or continuing private support.

If you are still trying to answer “What is actually limiting us, and what needs to happen first?”, the Smart Roadmap™ is the stronger starting point.

GUIDED BY THE S.M.A.R.T. BRAND STANDARD™

Whether we are talking about visibility, AI, content, or a business workflow, I look beyond whether something can be done.

We consider where the information came from, what it means in your situation, who has the experience and authority to make the decision, what could go wrong, and how the choice may affect the trust your business has worked to earn.

Source. Meaning. Authority. Risk. Trust.

[When You Need the Bigger Picture ]

The Smart RoadmaP

investment: $2,500

You may already have a website, Google presence, reviews, content, and people helping with marketing, but something still feels off.

Instead of continuing to fix pieces one at a time, the Smart Roadmap™ looks at how those pieces are working together across Google Search, Maps, your website, reviews, content, trust signals, and AI-driven discovery.

The goal is to answer the bigger questions:

What is working? What is getting in the way? What deserves attention first? And what can wait?

The Smart Roadmap™ gives you a clear diagnosis and prioritized direction before you invest more time or money into another round of changes.

Includes

  • 90-minute private diagnostic session

  • 60-minute Roadmap review

  • Written strategic Roadmap

  • Two 30-minute strategic follow-up sessions with Maria Elena Duron

Best for established business owners who want a clear expert-led plan before investing more into marketing and visibility work.

[ When the Visibility Problem is Bigger Than a Roadmap]

Custom Visibility Architecture

investment: starting at $6,500

Some businesses have reached the point where fixing one page, one profile, or one marketing channel at a time is no longer enough.

The website, Google Search, Maps, reviews, content, AI discoverability, and customer trust all need to support the same business and the same path from discovery to decision.

Custom Visibility Architecture is for established businesses and organizations that need deeper alignment across those connected pieces.

It may be a fit for:

  • Businesses with complex services, markets, or digital assets

  • Established brands

  • Family-owned businesses

  • Multi-location businesses

  • Franchise organizations

  • Larger ecommerce businesses

  • Organizations whose visibility has outgrown one-off fixes

Custom Visibility Architecture begins with the Smart Roadmap™. The Roadmap gives us the diagnosis and priorities first. If deeper architecture is needed, we can scope that work from what we uncover.

[When the Question is How AI Belongs in the Organization ]

AI IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY & ARCHITECTURE

investment: starting at $6,500

Your team may already be using AI. People may be taking courses, testing tools, creating prompts, or building their own workflows.

The harder question is whether any of it belongs in the way the organization actually works.

Maria Elena works with leadership to understand what is already happening, identify the opportunities worth pursuing, determine what people need to learn, and build a prioritized implementation path around real workflows, responsibilities, human review, and business goals.

This engagement can include:

This engagement can include:

  • Current AI use, tools, and experiment assessment

  • Business and workflow opportunity identification

  • Use-case prioritization

  • Recommendations on what to implement, delay, or stop

  • Team learning and capability-gap assessment

  • Role-based training recommendations

  • Workflow and process recommendations

  • Human review, approval, and ownership points

  • AI use, governance, and policy considerations

  • Google + AI opportunities where visibility and customer discovery are involved

  • 90-day implementation priorities

  • Measurement and accountability recommendations

The goal is not to get more people using more AI.

It is to determine where AI genuinely helps, what needs to change around it, what people need to know, and who still makes the call.

Use AI to get informed. Use your experience to decide.

THE LEARNING PATH SUPPORTS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Training comes after we understand what the organization actually needs.

Depending on the implementation strategy, Maria Elena may recommend customized Smart Brand System™ training, internal learning, existing company resources, outside education or certification, or a combination.

The recommendation is based on what people need to be able to do, not on adding another course simply because one is available.

YOU LEAVE WITH A PRIORITIZED IMPLEMENTATION PATH

The final strategy connects:

Business Goal → Use Case → Learning Needed → Workflow → Owner → Human Review → Measurement → Next Action

Your organization leaves knowing what deserves attention first, who needs to be involved, what people need to learn, and how a useful idea moves into real business use.

OPTIONAL FOLLOW-ON: 90-DAY AI IMPLEMENTATION ADVISORY

Organizations that want leadership support after the strategy is approved can continue with a separately scoped 90-day advisory engagement.

That may include leadership check-ins, progress review, adoption guidance, learning-progress review, workflow refinement, evaluation of new use cases, and accountability against the priorities already established.

The advisory is scoped separately based on the implementation plan, team structure, and level of support required.


NOT LOOKING FOR PRIVATE STRATEGY?

If you already know what you need to work on and what you want is coaching, feedback, troubleshooting, and accountability while you implement it, the Smart Implementation Lab™ is a different path.

The Lab is structured group implementation coaching, not private strategy.
