For Oʻahu business owners

Your marketing arm, on Oʻahu.

One local team runs your Google ads and your Google profile first, then Meta ads, your website, your photos and video, and a watch on what AI answers say about your business, as you need them, one course at a time. You talk to Christian, and on day 25 of your first month he walks you through everything your own account shows from your ads, in plain words.

Our work is free for your first month. The ads are not: you pay Meta or Google directly, about $20 to $100 a day, and that money can be spent and bring no calls. Month one is your Google ads and your Google profile.

· The courses

Marketing, omakase.

Omakase means you leave it to the chef. We study your business, decide what it needs and serve it in order, one course at a time. Not every business needs all six. We tell you which ones yours does.

Course I

Google ads and your Google profile

For people searching for what you do, right now. A tap on your ad can call your business, and the calls that come straight from the ad show in your own account. Your Google profile is kept current, because Google reads it.

Course II

Meta ads

Facebook and Instagram, for the people near you who haven't started looking yet.

Course III

Your website

Rebuilt only if it needs it. If yours already works, we leave it alone and send the ads to it.

Course IV

Photo and video

Shot on Oʻahu by our team, once you've said yes and when your plan includes it.

Course V

How AI answers describe you

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI about a business like yours, the answer leans on your Google profile, Yelp, Bing and your website. We keep watch on what those answers say about you.

Course VI

The day-25 read

On day 25 of your first month, Christian walks you through every call, form and message your own account shows from your ads, in sentences instead of charts.

Your ads

Here’s what your ads can look like.

An example. Yours is written from your own business and your customers’ own words.

The ad money is yours to set, paid by you straight to Google or Meta: about $20 to $100 a day.

Month one is your Google ads and your Google profile. Meta comes after, if your business needs it.

What we look at

On your 15 minutes, Christian shows you up to three things. You can check each one yourself.

How many people near you search for what you do

Check it: we show you the range from Google’s own planner, with the date we read it.

Who pays to show up

Check it: Google keeps a public list of the ads businesses run. We link theirs when Google shows it.

The word your customers use most about you

Check it: your own Google reviews, quoted word for word.

Don't take our word for it.

Ask your own AI if this is a good deal. It asks for the downsides too.

I run a small business in Hawaiʻi. Growth Hawaiʻi (growthhawaii.com) offers to be my marketing arm: one local team that runs my Google and Meta ads, my Google profile, my website only if it needs rebuilding, and photos and video, one course at a time. Their work is free for the first month, but the ads are not: I pay Meta or Google directly, about $20 to $100 a day, and ads can cost money and bring no calls. Month one is my Google ads and my Google profile. After day 30 it's from $1,900 a month plus Hawaii General Excise Tax, month to month, no term. Read their page and tell me honestly: what's the catch, what are the downsides and risks, and what should I ask them before saying yes?

Your first month

Our work is free for your first month. The ads are not: you pay Meta or Google directly, about $20 to $100 a day, and that money can be spent and bring no calls. Month one is your Google ads and your Google profile.

Your first month
  1. Before day 1We study your business and write your ad. You read and sign one page. That’s the paperwork.
  2. Day 1Your first ad goes live from your own account, on your card.
  3. Days 1 to 24The calls that come straight from your ads show in your own account. You can look any time. We tune the ad while it runs.
  4. Day 25A call with Christian, booked when you sign. He walks you through every call, form and message your own account shows from your ads. No promised number up front.
  5. Day 30You decide. No yes by day 30 means we bill you nothing: we pause the ads, and you keep the ad account, the campaigns and the ads.
  6. Day 31If you said yes, your first paid month starts. Month to month, with no term and no cancellation fee. From month two, it's from $1,900 a month plus Hawaii General Excise Tax. Your ad money goes straight to Google or Meta.
In writing

The terms.

  • Month to month. No term, no cancellation fee.
  • Your ad account is in your name from day one. The ad money goes from your card straight to Google or Meta.
  • We never raise your ad budget without your written OK. A text counts.
  • Leave whenever you like, by text or email. You keep the ad account, the campaigns and the ads. We remove our access; our templates and research tools stay ours.
  • From month two, it's from $1,900 a month plus Hawaii General Excise Tax. Your ad money goes straight to Google or Meta. A paid month that has started runs to its end, with no partial refund.

Who we’re not for

Questions

Asked and answered.

What do you actually do?
We run your Google ads and keep your Google profile current first. Then Meta ads, your website, photo and video, and what AI answers say about you, only as your business needs them.
What about my website?
We rebuild it only if it needs it. If yours already works, we leave it alone and send the ads to it.
What do I pay in the first month?
Our work is free for your first month. The ads are not: you pay Meta or Google directly, about $20 to $100 a day, and that money can be spent and bring no calls. Month one is your Google ads and your Google profile.
Is there a contract?
One page, signed before anything goes live. After that it’s month to month, with no term and no cancellation fee. From month two, it's from $1,900 a month plus Hawaii General Excise Tax. Your ad money goes straight to Google or Meta.
What happens if I say no?
We bill you nothing. We pause the ads, and you keep the ad account, the campaigns and the ads. The ad money you already spent went straight to Google or Meta.
Do you promise a number of leads?
No. That isn’t something we can promise. What we do promise: on day 25 Christian walks you through every call, form and message your own account shows from your ads, before you decide.
Could I do this myself?
Yes. You’d need a Google Ads account in your name, call tracking set up right, ads you test and cut every week, and someone keeping your Google profile, Yelp and website current. If you’d rather spend those hours on your work, that’s what we’re for.
I’ve been burned by an agency before. What’s different here?
Your ad account is in your name from day one, and you can see every call yourself. If you leave, you keep the ad account, the campaigns and the ads. You talk to one person: Christian.
What’s the catch?
The ad money. You pay it straight to Google or Meta, about $20 to $100 a day, and it can be spent and bring no calls. That risk is yours, and we’d rather tell you now.
Will you raise my ad budget?
Never without your written OK. A text counts. You can change the budget yourself any time. It’s your account.
Your move

Take a seat.

Fifteen minutes with Christian is the next step. He’ll tell you what he’d run first for your business, the monthly price plus Hawaii General Excise Tax, and the ad money it would take at Google or Meta.
