Running a small business is hard enough without trying to keep up with Google updates, AI search, social media, and changing marketing trends. I created Next Level Local to help business owners understand their online presence, improve their visibility, and grow with confidence, without the cost or complexity of a large marketing agency.
When I owned my storefront in south Durham, I quickly realized that having a great business wasn't enough. Customers needed to be able to find me online, understand what I offered, and trust me before they ever walked through the door.
Like many small business owners, I wore every hat. I learned marketing because I had to. I figured out Google Business Profile, local SEO, social media, reviews, websites, and community partnerships through experience, not because someone handed me a playbook.
That experience shaped how I work with clients today.
What Makes Next Level Local Different?
What Makes Next Level Local Different?
Instead of simply doing marketing for you, I help you understand it.
Whether we're optimizing your Google Business Profile, improving your website, or developing a content strategy, my goal is to leave you feeling more confident, not more dependent.
I believe small business owners deserve clear explanations, practical recommendations, and honest guidance they can actually use.
Building Community Beyond Marketing
One of the most rewarding parts of my business has been creating Next Level Connect, a monthly networking event that brings together Durham-area business owners to learn, collaborate, and support one another.
Every meeting features a local business owner or an industry expert, and meaningful conversations designed to help entrepreneurs grow both personally and professionally.
We typically meet on the last Monday of the month from 10-11:30am at Tobacco Wood Brewing in Durham.
