No useless extras.
Limited scope for maximum value.
I don't offer a wide range of services. I focus on what actually works for small businesses with no added complexity (for you or myself). By stripping back to just the best small business strategies, I can remain affordable and more effective.
I partner with small businesses whose digital marketing isn't being properly handled. I build your digital and online presence from the ground up in these stages:
- A rock-solid business website.
- A Google Maps profile that's always up to date.
- Search-optimised content that helps you rank higher.
- Real photos and videos of your team.
- A powerful review & referral system.
- Digital ads that get you more customers.
Once you're set up and everything is top-notch, we roll you back onto a retainer to keep everything running smoothly.
My approach is designed to be simple and effective to costs in a range where small business can afford it. I believe small business is far more important than people give it credit. So I'm not trying to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't need and I've designed this business for your success.
Most marketing agencies are designed for big companies with big budgets. Small businesses need something different - simple, effective strategies that actually work within their constraints. No Bells was designed to respect the limits and realities of small business.
You don't need a ten-pronged marketing strategy, or A/B testing, or quarterly reports that are fifteen pages long.
I've worked in marketing for ten years now and I've been a part of many bloated and uneccessary marketing strategies. No Bells came from the desire to cut away the bloat.
No Bells is designed for business that operate in a local area. I'm not a big agency built for national or international clients. I'm a small business owner that understands small business.
So if you know digital marketing matters but you don't have the time or resources to do it yourself, we should work together.
No Bells is designed to be very hands-off and run in the background without you having to think about it. I'm here to save you time, not take it up with emails and admin.
Cost-wise, a business should put about 5-15% of its revenue on marketing. I've worked out my offerings and prices so that I fall in that sweet spot, even if you opt for the growth plan all year. And I never slip in hidden costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is No Bells Digital Marketing?
No Bells is a digital marketing service designed specifically for small businesses. I focus on the essential digital marketing elements that actually work - no bells, no whistles. Based in Newcastle, Australia, I provide rock-solid websites, Google Business Profile management, content marketing, professional photography, review & referral system setup, and digital ads management.
Who is No Bells for?
I work with small to medium businesses who know they need digital marketing but don't have the time or expertise to do it themselves. My clients are typically business owners who are stretched thin and want a reliable partner to handle their digital presence while they focus on running their business.
What makes No Bells different?
I cut out the complexity and focus on what actually works for small business. No complicated analytics dashboards, no endless meetings, no jargon-filled reports. I'm not an agency - I'm a digital marketing partner who speaks plain English.
Where are you located?
I'm based in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. While I work with businesses across Australia, being local means I understand the Australian market and can provide in-person services like photography for Newcastle-based businesses.
How do I get started?
The best way to get started is to book a chat with me. We'll have a 30-minute conversation about your business, your goals, and how I can help. There's no pressure and no sales pitch - just a genuine conversation about growing your business.
Do you work with businesses outside Newcastle?
Yes! While I'm based in Newcastle, I work with businesses across Australia. The only difference is that businesses outside Newcastle won't have access to my in-person photography services, but everything else can be done remotely.
Do you offer payment plans?
In some situations, yes, I understand cash flow is important for small businesses. I offer flexible payment options and can discuss what works best for your business situation during our initial consultation.
Do you offer money-back guarantees?
Yes, I offer a 2 month money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with my work within the first 2 months, I'll refund you, no questions asked. I'm confident in my approach and want you to be completely satisfied.
Are there any long-term contracts?
I believe in earning your business every month. While my growth packages typically run 12-18 months to build your digital presence properly, I don't lock you into rigid contracts. Longer term contracts are available for discounted rates.
What's your typical process for new clients?
I start with a consultation to understand your business and goals. Then I go through the same process I go through with every client: website, photography, Google Maps, review & referral system setup, content marketing, and digital ads management.
How often will we communicate during the project?
I keep communication simple and effective. You'll get regular updates on progress, and I'm always available if you have questions. I believe in minimal admin and maximum results - no endless meetings or complicated project management tools.
What do you need from me to get started?
I'll need basic information about your business, your goals, any existing digital assets (like logos or photos), and access to relevant accounts (website, Google Business, etc.). I handle most of the heavy lifting and will guide you through everything you need to provide.
How quickly will I see results?
Results vary by service. Website improvements are immediate once launched. Google Business Profile improvements typically show within 2-4 weeks. Content marketing and SEO results develop over 3-6 months as your authority builds and content library grows.
What happens after the initial timeline?
After the initial timeline, I'll move you into a monthly maintenance package. This includes any content updates you might need, profile management, photo updates, and performance monitoring.
