IYBS Local Marketing Strategy & Systems
FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Straight answers about who I help, how the workshops work, and where websites fit in.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

I work deepest in three kinds of businesses I know from the inside: owners running two or more locations, veterinary practices, and food businesses. I spent 35 years as a business owner before I focused on marketing, so I understand how a business actually runs, not just the ads. If you are outside those and the fit feels right, reach out and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person.

How do the workshops work?

A workshop is a live, 60-minute working session. You do not sit and watch slides. You bring your business and we build the thing together, so you and your team leave with it set up and running, not just a list of ideas. I run them in person at locations around King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.

Can you help my whole team, not just me?

Yes, that is the whole point. The goal is for your team to walk out able to run the marketing, the follow-up, and the reviews themselves, so it does not all depend on you. Bring the people who actually do the work.

Do I need to know anything about AI or tech to take part?

No. If you can run your business and use email, you can do this. I walk you through every step on your own screen, and you leave with the tools set up, not a pile of homework.

What is AI search visibility?

It is making sure your business shows up when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI, or Perplexity for a recommendation. More people ask AI who they should use instead of scrolling search results. If your business is not set up to be found there, you are invisible in that conversation. I help you fix that.

Where are the workshops held?

Both online and in person. Online workshops you can join from anywhere. In-person workshops happen at venues around the Puget Sound region, across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. Each workshop's page says whether it is online, in person, or both, and where.

Do you work with businesses outside Renton?

Yes. I am based in Renton and work with owners across the Puget Sound area, including Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Kent, Tukwila, and Everett.

What makes IYBS Local different?

Two things. First, I ran my own businesses for 35 years before I did marketing, so I have been the owner making the call, not just the person writing the ad. Second, I do not keep you dependent on me. A workshop hands your team the systems and the skills to run it themselves, instead of putting you on a retainer forever.

Do you build websites?

IYBS Local is marketing and strategy. For website builds, website hosting, or business email, visit our website division at agwashingtonweb.com.
