A good month, then a quiet one, and no way to turn the tap back on.

The problem
Referrals are great, until they are the only way new customers find you.
Your business is doing well. But when you ask where next month's customers will come from, the honest answer is "I'm not sure".
You've paid for bits and pieces
A website here, some ads there, a boosted post. None of it joined up.
Nobody can say what makes money
You're spending, but you can't point to which part brings customers in.
Advice in a language you don't speak
Marketers and developers talk in jargon, and you're left to work out what to do.
The shift
The missing piece isn't another tactic. It's a plan built on your own numbers.
Before you spend another dollar on marketing, you need to know where the money comes from now, what's worth growing and what to do first. That is what the Growth Roadmap gives you.
How Dave builds it
Dave starts with your money, then builds the plan around it.
No templates and no guesswork. Four moves, in this order, from your business as it is today.
- 01
Where the money comes from now
Which customers, products and channels bring in your revenue today.
- 02
The opportunities available
The openings your business isn't using yet, and which are worth chasing.
- 03
What earns the most, and the least
The most and least profitable parts of the business, so effort goes where it pays.
- 04
A clear plan and a 30-day quick start
All of it turned into plain steps, with the first 30 days laid out.
The 9DB method
Your plan sits on nine digital building blocks, in the right order.
9DB is Dave's method: nine digital building blocks that every local business's marketing stands on. Your Roadmap uses them to show where your business is now and what to build first.

Yours to keep
The Roadmap is yours whether or not you continue with Dave. Run it yourself or with your team.
Is it for you?
Built for established local owners who want steady new customers.
It's for you if
- Your local business turns over more than A$10,000 a month.
- You want a steady flow of new leads and customers, not just referrals.
- You don't have an expert marketer in-house.
- You want a plan in plain words that you can act on.
It's not for you if
- Your business is under A$10,000 a month for now.
- You want a promise of results. Dave doesn't guarantee them.
- You want a quick tactic, not a plan for the whole business.
- You'd rather not share your numbers.
Who you're dealing with
You deal with Dave, who speaks owner, marketer and developer.

Straight answers before you decide.
Something else on your mind? Email hello@curtise.com or book a free 15-minute call.
Can you guarantee results?
No. Dave doesn't guarantee results, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What you get is a clear plan built on your own numbers, so you know what to do and why.
Do I have to sign up for anything after the Roadmap?
No. The Roadmap is yours to keep whether or not you continue. If you'd like Dave and his team to run it, 9DB Growth Local is there, but it's your call.
My business is under A$10,000 a month. Is this for me?
Not yet. The Roadmap is built for local businesses already turning over more than A$10,000 a month, where a plan can make the most of what's already working.
I've worked with agencies before and it didn't work. Why is this different?
You deal with Dave directly, not an account manager. He starts with where your money comes from, then explains the plan in plain words, without the agency-speak.
How long does it take?
It starts with a 45-minute Roadmap session with Dave. He then builds your written strategy and 30-day quick start from what you cover. If you need it sooner, priority delivery within 5 business days is an option at checkout.
What do you need from me?
45 minutes for your Roadmap session, your sales numbers, and access to the digital side: your website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, analytics and email or SMS tool.
