Who you're actually hiring

Ernest Collins

You'll work with me directly, start to finish. A missed step costs real money, so I'll find where you're losing customers and fix the biggest gap first.

Florida native based in Temple Terrace (Tampa). Before EC², I ran my own exterior cleaning business for 6 years and worked hands-on jobs from cable installation and steel fabrication to forklift operations and overnight receiving. I look at your marketing the same way, and show you the numbers.

  • You own every login: Google, Meta, your domain and website
  • One-page reports in plain English
  • Before and after screenshots at 30 days
  • No customer data in free tools, and nothing runs without your OK

I guarantee the work and the communication. Nobody can promise sales.

Tampa Bay service businesses

Who I help

Home-service trades first: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, cleaning, pest control and lawn care. Owner-run, 1 to 20 people, too busy on the job to post.

Home services & trades

Every season brings the same questions: AC in summer, heaters in winter, storms in the fall. I'll turn the questions your customers already ask into Reels that answer them, and make sure missed calls get a text back.

Restaurants & food trucks

Menus on Google that match the real one, and posts planned for your slow nights.

Salons & barbers

Online booking and a profile that shows your best work.

Realtors & local pros

A simple site and a steady posting plan.

Questions Tampa Bay owners actually ask

FAQ

What's in a free sample Reel?

A short Reel I'll make from the public information on your Google profile, so you can see the work before you pay for anything. It's labeled as a sample made for your business and isn't posted anywhere.

Do I need to understand AI?

No. I'll explain everything in plain English and set things up with you. Most of the tools I recommend take under an hour to start using.

Is my customer data safe?

I recommend tools with privacy controls and tell you what each one can see. Customer data never goes into free tools.

Will it sound like a robot?

Not if it's set up right. I'll write the replies and posts to match how you already talk to customers, and nothing goes out without your OK.

Who owns the accounts?

You do. Google, Meta, your domain and your website stay in your name. I'm added as a manager and removed when we're done.

Do you guarantee results?

I guarantee the work and the communication. Nobody can promise Google rankings or sales. You'll get the work done on time, explained in plain English, with before-and-after screenshots so you can see what changed.

Who pays for my domain and hosting?

You do, and they stay in your name. It usually runs $10–$20 a year, and I'll send you simple setup steps. If you want me to handle updates after launch, that is the Website Care Plan: $250 a month or $2,500 a year.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Quick fixes, websites and the assessment are one-time. Reels & Content is month to month. The Get Found plan has a 3-month minimum.

I don't have a website. Can you still help?

Yes. The free growth audit covers your Google, Yelp and social profiles, and a one-page website starts at $249.

What is the AI search visibility check?

More customers now ask ChatGPT and other AI tools for local recommendations. I'll ask them about your type of business in your area, show you what they say, and fix your profiles and website so you have a better chance of being named. $149, one-time.

What does the AI receptionist do?

It answers calls and messages when you can't, answers common questions, and books jobs into your calendar. Setup is $397, then $49 a month to keep it running and updated.

How fast is a quick fix?

Most are done in about 48 hours. Google can take a few extra days to verify a new profile.

Where are you based, and where do you work?

I'm based in Temple Terrace (Tampa) and work mainly in Hillsborough County, plus Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee and Polk. I can meet at your shop around there, and I work with businesses anywhere else by video call.
