Local
Durham Region based, serving small businesses

I'm Carlly Wilks-Brown, a fractional digital marketing ops specialist based in Durham Region. I built Show Up Digital to bring enterprise-level digital expertise to small businesses who need it most. No agency markups. No long-term lock-in.

Before launching Show Up Digital, I spent 10+ years managing digital ops, SEO, campaign launches, and conversion optimization for one of Canada's largest consumer platforms. I handled millions of page visits and dozens of concurrent product launches across national and regional markets. That enterprise experience is what I now bring to small businesses at a fraction of the cost.

I work with small business owners who are great at what they do but don't have the time, tools, or team to manage their digital presence effectively. That's where I come in.

Sound familiar?

You're probably one of these three

You have a website that isn't working

You built a site, but it's not showing up on Google, not converting visitors, or just sitting there doing nothing. You know something's off but don't know where to start.

You're too busy running your business

Marketing keeps falling to the bottom of the list. You know you need a better digital presence but you don't have the time, tools, or team to make it happen consistently.

You've tried marketing but can't see results

You've spent money on ads, SEO, or an agency and have nothing to show for it. You need someone who works from data, not guesswork. Someone who gives you clear reporting you can actually understand.

If you're a small business owner in Durham Region who wants more customers from the internet, without hiring full-time staff or signing long-term agency contracts, you're in the right place.

What it costs

No quotes, no haggling — here are my prices

Founding client pricing — introductory rates while I take on my first ten clients.

01 · Start here
Website Audit
$149 one-time

Where every project begins. I go through your site, your speed, and your Google listing, and hand you a prioritized fix list you can act on — with me or without me.

  • Full SEO & performance audit
  • Google Business Profile review
  • Prioritized fix list + 30-minute call
The audit is the first step of every engagement, so you shouldn't pay for it twice. Book any project within 30 days and I take the $149 off.
Start with the audit →
03 · Keep it
Monthly Marketing
$397/month

Ongoing optimization for businesses that want steady results without the cost of a full-time hire.

  • Monthly SEO audit + CMS content updates
  • Performance report in plain language
  • 60-minute strategy call each month
Three months to start, then month-to-month. No long-term contract, and you deal with me — not an account manager.
Let's talk →

Why "from": the number moves with scope — how many pages, how many locations, and how much of the site needs work. I'll give you the exact figure on the call, and it won't change after that.

Taking on more than one? I'll put together a combined price rather than adding them up.

How this goes

What working together actually looks like

01

Discovery Call

A free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, and where you're losing customers online. No pitch. Just an honest assessment.

02

Audit

I run a full audit of your website, Google Business Profile, and local search presence. I use real tools, not gut feeling.

03

Proposal

You get a clear, prioritized action plan with the right package for your goals and budget. No fluff. No upsells you don't need.

04

Kickoff & Work

Once you're in, I get to work. You get regular updates, clear reporting, and results you can actually see. Most clients notice a difference within 90 days.

Before you ask

Questions I get a lot

For project-based work like the Website Audit or Website Build, there's no long-term contract. Just a signed project brief before work begins. Get Found Locally is a 90-day fixed engagement with a signed agreement. Monthly Marketing has a simple service agreement with a 3-month minimum. After that it's month-to-month with 30 days written notice to cancel.
For Monthly Marketing, there's a 3-month minimum — after that, cancel with 30 days written notice, no questions asked. Get Found Locally is a 90-day project with a defined end date. Nothing to cancel when it wraps up. The Website Audit and Website Build are one-time projects with no ongoing commitment.
Not much. Access to your Google Analytics or Search Console (I can help set this up if you don't have it), your Google Business Profile login, and a 30-minute discovery call. I handle the heavy lifting from there. You won't need to write anything or prepare any materials in advance.
Most clients see measurable improvements within 90 days. Think improved page speed, better local search rankings, and higher conversion rates on key pages. SEO takes time, but with the right fixes in the right order the needle moves faster than most people expect. You'll get before and after data so you can see exactly what changed.
With a full agency, you're paying for overhead, account managers, and a team of people who may never actually look at your website. With me, you get direct access to someone with 10+ years of enterprise digital ops experience, working only on your business at a fraction of the cost. No handoffs. No fluff. No surprise invoices.
Start with the Website Build. You can choose from three tiers: Starter ($597 for 3 pages), Standard ($997 for 5 pages), or Growth ($1,297 for 5 pages plus full Google Business Profile setup, GA4, and UTM tracking). The build is an add-on to Get Found Locally, so once your site is live the 90 days pick up from there and start driving traffic to it.
If you don't have a website, start with a Website Build. If you have a site but don't know what's wrong, start with the Website Audit ($149) — it's low risk and gives you a clear action plan. If you're ready to commit to real growth, Get Found Locally is the most popular starting point. 90 days, clear deliverables, defined outcome. Not sure which fits?
