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.

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.
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.
Three ways to work together.
01
Done for you
I deliver the agreed work, from a one-off website or systems project to ongoing management. Scope, deliverables and price are agreed before we start.
02
Done with you
We work together to make the improvements. I guide decisions, troubleshoot and help implement, with clear responsibilities and a shared plan.
03
Learn to do it yourself
Build your own capability through practical one-to-one training or team workshops, using your own website, tools and business.
Built in the real world.
