Kim Ortiz | Web Designer

Hey everyone! My name is Kim Ortiz and I'm the face behind Boost Web Studio, where we create profitable websites for home service providers. Here are 3 things about me...

Your competitors' reviews are showing up in search right now. Are yours? At the B.R.E.W. event hosted by the Macon Chamber of Commerce, we unpacked why Google reviews aren't just feedback — they're a marketing channel and a sales tool. Read more: boostwebstudio.com/brew-event-goo…

Solera Day Spa in Marlton, NJ has a site we redesigned with local SEO built in 🖤 Because a beautiful site that nobody finds isn't doing its job. Check them out → soleradayspa.com

Google Reviews aren't just about reputation anymore — they affect where you show up in search. I broke this down at the B.R.E.W. event hosted by the Macon Chamber last week. Part 1 of the takeaways is live. More coming soon → boostwebstudio.com/brew-event-goo…

Most local businesses think they're on Google. Their GBP audit says otherwise. Free audit → shows you exactly where you rank across your city. No guessing. Grab yours 👇 boostwebstudio.com/free-gbp-audit/

I’m giving away the system behind every big result in my coaching program. For free. This is the exact sequence I used to grow my own agency to $3M. I proved it first. Now I share it freely. Nobody handed me a roadmap. So I figured it out as I went. It worked, but it was slow. I ran my agency for a decade. I hit $3M, working with an amazing team and world-class clients, eventually selling it—all while maintaining a reasonable work-life balance with time for family, marriage, friends, and travel. That’s more than I ever hoped for. And more than many can say. But so much of it was trial and error. Learning by stumbling around in the dark. I didn’t know it was a system. So what could have taken 2 years took me 6. When I started coaching other agency owners, I saw the same pattern everywhere. Smart people. Good instincts. No sequence. I finally sat down one day and tried to map it. My prompt to myself: is there a framework for growing and scaling that I believe could work for every agency owner? My answer is the Money Maker Map. It’s 33 steps over 7 phases. Every step depends on the one before it. It’s the backbone of my entire Make More Money coaching program. It’s the reason my students go from $100K to $1M+. It’s the most valuable piece of IP I’ve ever created. Here’s what I‘ve found to be the 7 phases of scaling a services business: 1️⃣ Baselines — take inventory of where you actually are 2️⃣ Cash Reserve Building — build leverage so you can focus 3️⃣ Positioning — identify your ideal client and your best offers 4️⃣ Proof — establish your reputation as an expert 5️⃣ Pricing — deliver full price offers with confidence 6️⃣ Scale — systematize and hire 7️⃣ Expansion & Optionality — decide where to go next Most agency owners jump straight to Phase 5 or 6. They skip the steps they haven’t earned yet. Then they wonder why everything feels like chaos. The Money Maker Map won’t let you do that. It answers one question better than anything else I’ve built: “What should I be focused on right now?” Three steps to using it: → Find your current step. Be honest. → Commit to finishing the current step before moving on. → Ignore everything past it. That’s the discipline most agency owners are missing. That’s what separates “busy” from “profitable.” My slow learning can be your fast learning. What took me 6 years could take you 1. The Map is free. The discipline to follow it is the hard part. I built this for agency owners doing $100K+ who want a clear path to $1M. Comment “MAP” and make sure you’re following me. I’ll DM you the link.

@johndsaunders @5FourDigital So helpful! Thanks!!

@BoostWebStudio @5FourDigital Happy to help! Yep yep, scope of work has to be clear, but you can create space for wiggle room. Just be sure you itemize and notify the client of any scope creep prior.

Agency Process | @5FourDigital How we present logos and initial sitemaps to our clients.

@johndsaunders @5FourDigital This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking what if you find something during discovery that turns into more work? I guess the scope of work has to be clear in the proposal to protect yourself right?

Hey Kim, exactly. We always have an initial call with the client that asks the following questions: ✳️ Foundational Discovery Questions What’s the biggest pain point you're experiencing right now with your website or branding? Why are you looking to invest in this project now? What’s your main business goal over the next 6–12 months? 📦 Project Scope & Specifics What services are you looking for? (Branding, Web Design, SEO, etc.) Do you already have a website? If yes, what platform is it on (e.g., Webflow, Shopify)? Do you need eCommerce functionality or integrations (email marketing, booking, CRM, etc.)? 💬 Process + Fit Have you worked with a freelancer or agency before? What did you love or hate about the experience? Are you comfortable with async communication (Slack, ClickUp, Loom walkthroughs)? Do you have a preferred timeline or launch date in mind? 💰 Budget & Decision Making What’s your budget range for this project? Who will be involved in the decision-making process? Are you comparing multiple proposals or just starting the conversation? Then, we send a proposal, they sign and pay, and we do the discovery call with more vetting questions specific to the project.
