Get a Free Website AuditThe obvious question
How does one person
actually deliver
all of that?
I built a system for myself. It runs my entire business. I call it Beacon.
It started as a collection of automations I was tired of doing by hand. Today it is a full platform. Flexible enough to adapt to any business, specific enough to know yours inside out after a few weeks of working together.
You get a window into it when you hire me. Your own portal, your own dashboard, your own AI agent that knows your account. If you want your own standalone version, I can build that too.
Here is what it actually does for your account on any given day.
Core
Learns your business over time.
The more we work together, the more Beacon knows about your customers, your tone, your offers, your pricing, and your objection replies. Every closed deal and lost opportunity feeds back in. After a few weeks it sounds like you, prices like you, and follows up like you. That is the reason I can keep up with the workload of an agency as a solo operator.

Behind the scenes
You see what I see.
In plain English.
Beacon is the system I built for myself. It runs my entire business. Started as a pile of automations I was tired of doing by hand. Today it is a full platform, flexible enough to adapt to any business.
When you hire me, you get your own window into it. You see every ad I ran, every lead that came in, every blog I published, every follow-up the agent sent. All in real time.
You do not need to understand ads, SEO, or automations. If a number worries you, ask the agent in plain English. You get a plain English answer with the data behind it. No jargon. No hand-waving. No "we will look into it."
If you want your own version of Beacon customized for your business, that is something I can build too.

What you get
Your own client portal on day one of our engagement
Want your own version of Beacon? Some clients ask me to build them a custom platform modeled on this one, for their own team or product. That is a separate conversation and a separate project, but yes I build it. Most of my clients never need it. They just want the results my existing system already delivers.
The funnel, end to end
Five stages. One system running it all.
01
Find
The system finds people who match your ideal customer from the sources you pick.
02
Reach out
Personalized messages sent by email, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp, written in your voice.
03
Follow up
Automatic follow-ups on the right schedule. No lead gets forgotten.
04
Warm them up
The system keeps the conversation going until the person is ready to talk to you.
05
You close
You step in only when someone is ready to buy. Your time goes to closing, not chasing.

Summit Plumbing Co.
Summit Plumbing Co. is a 14-person plumbing company in Tampa, FL. The owner was paying $3,200 per month to a local agency for Google Ads and website maintenance with zero visibility into results. I replaced the entire agency relationship with a direct engagement: rebuilt the website on Next.js, took over Google Ads, optimized the Google Business Profile, and built automated lead follow-up. Monthly leads nearly doubled and cost per lead was cut in half within 90 days.

Working with me from the US
The questions you are
probably already thinking.
Most of my clients are US-based small businesses. Here is how I have made that work for three years without a single client leaving because of geography.
I work your hours.
I am 6 hours ahead of the US East Coast. I schedule all calls and meetings during your business hours, typically 9 AM to 1 PM your time. For async work, I respond within 4 hours during your business day. Most of my clients never notice the time zone difference.
You pick how we talk.
Email, Google Meet, Zoom, phone call, or SMS. I use whatever you already use. You will never be forced to install a new app to reach me. If you prefer a quick phone call over typing, that works. If you prefer email, that works too. Call or text me directly at +381 65 837 0388.
One person picks up.
You will never be routed through an account manager, a support queue, or a chatbot. When you reach out, you reach me directly. Same person who built your site, runs your ads, and knows your business inside out.
Simple invoicing, no surprises.
I send you a detailed invoice at the start of each month with a clear line-item breakdown of what you are paying for. Payment is by bank transfer. My bank, UniCredit, is one of Europe's largest banking groups with a direct presence in New York, so transfers from US banks typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. No hidden fees, no retainers you cannot cancel, no long-term contracts.
You own everything.
Your website, your ad accounts, your automation workflows, your content, your data. All of it is in accounts registered to your name from day one. If you ever want to leave, I hand over every credential, every file, and every piece of documentation. No hostage situations. No proprietary platform you cannot access without me.
Same tools, same stack, different zip code.
I use the same tools every US-based agency uses: Google Ads, Meta Business Suite, Google Analytics, Search Console, WordPress, Shopify, Next.js, n8n, Stripe. The only difference is that my overhead is lower because I work from Serbia, and those savings go directly into your results instead of office rent in Manhattan.
Proper contract, every time.
Every engagement starts with a signed freelance services agreement covering scope, deliverables, timelines, and payment terms. Standard international contractor agreement, enforceable in your jurisdiction. If you have your own contract template, I am happy to work with yours.
Still not sure? Book a free 15-minute call. Ask me anything you want about how this works. If at the end of the call you feel like the distance is a dealbreaker, I will tell you honestly and recommend a US-based freelancer who can help.
