Hi, I'm Katie! Born and raised in Bullitt County, Kentucky, I’ve always believed in supporting the community that shaped me. After spending three years teaching in the Bullitt County Public School system, I learned the value of clear communication, consistency, and meeting people where they are. Those same principles now guide my work in digital marketing.
For the past four years, I’ve helped small businesses strengthen their online presence through thoughtful, strategic marketing that feels manageable and intentional. My goal is to remove the confusion around marketing and help business owners move forward with clarity and confidence.
About Mayapple Marketing
Marketing works best when it’s understood. My background in education influences everything I do — from how I explain strategies to how I build long-term plans. I believe in teaching first, guiding second, and executing with purpose.
Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, I focus on:
Clear explanations, not jargon
Strategy before tactics
Consistency over quick fixes
Partnership over pressure
This approach helps business owners feel informed, supported, and confident in their marketing decisions — and leads to results that last.
A Teacher’s Approach to Marketing
Who I Work With
I specialize in helping local, service-based businesses — contractors, home services, salons, medical practices, and small business owners — strengthen their online presence and attract the right customers.
A Clear, Strategic Approach
I don’t believe in throwing services at problems. Every business is different, which is why I focus on understanding your goals, your local market, and what will actually move the needle — then building a strategy that fits.
Digital Marketing Services
Search Engine Optimization (SEO):
Search engine optimization for small businesses isn’t about chasing keywords — it’s about showing up when local customers are searching. I focus on local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, and website improvements that help businesses get found and trusted.
Social Media Marketing:
Social media works best when it’s consistent and intentional. I help businesses stay visible, professional, and relevant without the stress of daily posting or trend-chasing.
Pay-Per-Click Advertising:
PPC works best when it’s strategic, not rushed. I help businesses use paid ads intentionally to increase visibility, support organic marketing, and reach the right audience without wasted spend.
Website Design & Development:
A website should do more than look good — it should guide visitors, build trust, and support search visibility. I design and optimize mobile-friendly websites built for real users and real results.
Google Business Profile Management:
Your Google Business Profile is one of the most powerful tools for local visibility. I manage updates, reviews, photos, and optimization to help businesses rank higher and stand out in local search results.
In addition to my core services, I offer a wide range of supporting digital and print marketing solutions — including branding and graphic design, content creation, email marketing, analytics and reporting, presentations, print materials, and more — to support your business as it grows.
