All Case Studies
Maria's Catering Co.
Food Service & Catering · Austin, TX
Maria's Catering Co. had built a loyal following through word-of-mouth referrals over five years, but the business had zero online presence.
Thompson Security Solutions
Security Services · Atlanta, GA
James Thompson founded his security company after 20 years in the U.S. Army.
Bright Futures Academy
Education & Childcare · Denver, CO

Jackson Tech Repair
Technology Services · Chicago, IL
Marcus Jackson had been running a single-location computer and phone repair shop on Chicago's South Side for three years. The business was profitable but stuck — revenue plateaued because the shop relied entirely on walk-in traffic from the immediate neighborhood.
Crown Cuts Barbershop
Personal Care & Grooming · Memphis, TN
Derrick Washington built Crown Cuts from a single chair into three barbershop locations across Memphis over eight years, but growth had stalled. The shops had no consistent online presence — each location had a different (outdated) Google listing, zero review management strategy, and no way to book appointments online.
Sabor Auténtico
Restaurant & Food Service · San Antonio, TX
Sabor Auténtico had been a neighborhood favorite in San Antonio for over a decade, but Elena Rios watched foot traffic decline steadily as new restaurants opened nearby and food delivery apps dominated the market. The restaurant had no website, wasn't listed on the SBEC Business Directory, and Elena's only marketing was a Facebook page she updated sporadically.
Ironclad Construction LLC
Construction & Contracting · Jacksonville, FL
Ryan Kowalski launched Ironclad Construction after 12 years in the Marine Corps, leveraging his engineering background into a commercial contracting business. The company had steady small-project revenue but couldn't break into larger contracts that required bonding and significant upfront capital.
Bloom Botanicals
E-Commerce & Retail · Portland, OR
Priya Nair launched Bloom Botanicals as a direct-to-consumer skincare brand using plant-based ingredients. After a promising first year with $210,000 in revenue, growth flatlined.
Uplift Youth Collective
Nonprofit & Youth Services · Baltimore, MD
Uplift Youth Collective had been running after-school programs and mentorship services for at-risk youth in Baltimore for six years. Despite strong community impact — serving over 400 young people annually — the organization was struggling financially.
Big Pine Auto Repair
Automotive Services · Elko, NV
Big Pine Auto Repair was the only full-service mechanic shop within 40 miles of Elko, Nevada, but Dale Whitfield was barely breaking even. The shop had no website — customers found him through a faded roadside sign and word of mouth.
