Meet the Founder
A Practical Approach Shaped by Real Business Experience.
I’m Tim Drake, founder of D.O.G. Marketing Systems. I’ve spent more than 15 years gaining hands-on experience with websites and learning what a business website needs to do. A website should be more than attractive. It should clearly explain what a business offers, work well on phones, make it easy to contact the business, and give visitors a clear next step.
Over the years, I’ve helped companies maintain their websites and keep them current by adding photos, products, and other updates. I’ve also helped smaller businesses market their companies and achieve outstanding results.
My experience also comes from running businesses myself. I owned a catering business, sold shirts to local businesses, and sold custom apparel through my own e-commerce site. That gave me firsthand experience with the day-to-day work of serving customers, managing operations, and deciding where to invest limited time and money.
Those experiences shape how I work with clients today: understand the business first, identify what it actually needs, and build practical solutions around real goals.
What Gets Built
Websites With a Job to Do.
A business website needs to do more than look good. Visitors should be able to understand what you offer, see why they can trust you, and know how to call, book, or request a quote. The site should work well on mobile, be easy to navigate, and be organized so search engines can understand its pages.
D.O.G. Marketing Systems builds websites around those practical needs. Depending on the project, that can include planning the page structure, writing or organizing the content, creating clear calls to action, setting up contact or quote forms, and taking care of basic on-page SEO. Hosting and ongoing website management can also be included when they’re part of the agreed plan.
Beyond the Website
Support Beyond the Website.
For some businesses, a website is one part of a larger customer system. D.O.G. Marketing Systems can also help with review management, customer follow-up, missed-call text back, and CRM automations.
The right setup depends on the business. A company that needs more calls may need a different solution than one that needs a better way to request reviews or follow up with leads. The goal is to understand the situation first and recommend tools that address the actual need.
How It Works
A Practical, Personal Process.
A straightforward path from understanding your business to building what it actually needs.
- 01
Learn about the business
Start with a conversation about the business, its customers, and what the owner wants to improve.
- 02
Identify priorities
Review what is already in place and determine which improvements make sense for the project.
- 03
Agree on the scope
Explain what the project includes and what the next steps are before work begins.
- 04
Build and support
Create the agreed website or systems, test them, and provide hosting or ongoing management when included in the plan.
I want business owners to feel comfortable asking questions and to understand what they’re getting. Every project should have a clear purpose and a scope that fits the business.
