The MrKeating Mix
Seven connected services.
One better business.
The marketing mix has seven Ps. The useful part is how those seven elements work together.
Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Process and Physical Evidence shape what customers buy, how they find you and the experience you deliver. My seven services put that framework to work: we examine the whole mix, identify the constraint and make the practical improvements that matter.
Explore the seven Ps
01 · Product
Product Development
Develop what you sell: clearer products, services and packages that solve a real customer problem.
02 · Price
Business Strategy
Set your direction, strengthen margins and build pricing that supports the business you want to run.
03 · Place
Website Design
Create a clear place for customers to explore, enquire, book or buy, with conversion built into the journey.
04 · Promotion
SEO & Local Search
Get found by the right customers through search, local visibility and useful, credible content.
05 · People
CRM Consulting
Give your team the tools and clarity to handle enquiries, relationships and customer care consistently.
06 · Process
AI Automation
Simplify workflows, connect your tools and reduce repetitive work while keeping people responsible for judgement.
07 · Physical Evidence
Branding
Build a distinctive identity and give customers credible evidence that you can deliver.
A better website cannot fix an offer nobody wants. More visibility cannot fix poor follow-up. The MrKeating Mix helps us see those connections before investing in the wrong solution.
Why MrKeating?
Familiar problems.
Broader thinking.
Most consultants specialise in one thing.
I look at the whole business.
Then we fix whatever is actually holding it back.
