Small-business consulting · Chicago's Southland

Your customers are trying to reach you. Let's make sure they can.

GG Southland Consulting helps small, owner-run businesses run smoother, follow up faster and show up right online, so more of the customers looking for you actually become customers.

No cost, no obligation. We'll show you what we found and what's worth fixing.

What we fix

Three places small businesses lose customers without noticing.

Most owners don't need a big marketing plan. They need the phone answered, the calendar filled and their information right everywhere. That's our work.

OPERATIONS

How the business runs day to day

We map how a customer gets from "first call" to "paid," then remove the steps that depend on memory or paper.

  • Intake and consultation scheduling
  • Client follow-up and reminders
  • Document collection for closings, claims and cases
  • Simple checklists your staff actually use
Sign: "Sorry, I never got your message."
AUTOMATION

Repetitive work that should run itself

We set up tools you own, on accounts in your name, so nothing falls through the cracks after hours.

  • Missed-call text-back
  • Online booking with automatic reminders
  • Instant replies to quote and contact forms
  • Review requests after every visit or sale
Sign: calling back leads the next morning.
WEB PRESENCE

What customers see before they call

We fix the website and listings people check before they decide to call you, or someone else.

  • Google Business Profile setup and cleanup
  • Correct hours, address and phone on every listing
  • A clear "call / book / visit" button on every page
  • Mobile-friendly, fast pages
Sign: your site still says © 2019.
Pricing

Flat prices. No long contracts.

Every project is quoted as a fixed price before we start. You'll know the cost, what you get and when it's done.

We're taking on our first five clients. Founding clients get the rates below, locked in for 12 months, in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial once the work is done. The regular rate is listed under each price.

About

Local, and it shows in the work.

GG Southland Consulting is based in the Southland and works only with small businesses here.

I'm Brycen. I grew up in the Homewood-Flossmoor area, and I started GG Southland Consulting because the businesses I grew up around deserve the same systems big companies take for granted.

My background is in financial analysis and business analytics. I studied Business Analytics & Decision Science at Carnegie Mellon, and I've worked in consulting and finance. I look at a business the way an analyst does: find where customers and hours are leaking, fix the biggest leaks first, and keep it simple enough that you can run it without me.

Every project is flat-priced, set up in your name, and explained in plain English.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is the 15-minute call really free?

Yes. No card, no obligation. We'll tell you what we found and which fixes matter most. If you want us to do the work, we'll quote a flat price. If not, you keep the advice.

You're new. Why should I trust you?

Fair question. GG Southland Consulting is new, and we say so. That's why every project is flat-priced, set up in your name and backed by 30 days of free fixes, and the Checkup comes with a guarantee: if we don't find at least three fixes worth making, you don't pay.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Projects are one-time and flat-priced. Monthly plans start with 3 months, so there's time to show results, then go month to month with 30 days' notice to cancel.

Who owns the website and tools?

You do. We set everything up on accounts in your name, and you keep full access if you ever stop working with us.

Will I need to pay for software?

Often not. Many of the tools we use (Google Business Profile, Google Calendar booking and similar) are free. If a tool costs money, you pay the provider directly, and we tell you the cost before we start.

I already have a website person. Can you still help?

Yes. The Checkup and Office Workflow Tune-Up focus on how calls, bookings and follow-up work. We're happy to hand our fix list to your web person.

Do you work outside the Southland?

Our focus is Chicago's south suburbs. If you're nearby, book a call and we'll tell you honestly if we're a fit.
