Each and every one of our 1:1 Accelerator clients receive (click through to learn about each item a la carte):
*Seriously, it’s the result of over two decades of in-house and client experience. When we say proven, we mean it.
Our goal is to partner with you to design an evergreen, sustainable, longterm online marketing strategy and create the tools that take you as far as you want to go.
We start by creating your Aligned Authority™ Game Plan. This is your roadmap for an evergreen, search-first, ethical Movement Marketing strategy that leaves you focused on your goals, fluent in your marketing strategy, and flourishing as you set aside tactics that no longer serve you—and go all in on those that do. Then, our skilled team gets to work implementing the key foundational elements you need to succeed.
Your experience is 100 percent customized to meet your goals and match your capacity.
You’ll work with us in a three stage process:
The biggest reason we developed our Aligned Authority™ marketing model is that we saw too many brilliant clients skip foundational steps—which made all the tools in the marketing toolkit, from their websites to their email marketing, harder. Our first stop in this journey—prior to creating any assets—is creating clarity around the what, why, and who of your marketing strategy. It’s essential for setting you up for success.
From keywords to calls to action, it’s all content. Ready to elevate your brand? Need your website to convert more visitors to leads? Aiming to rank on page one of Google? That’s all possible with the right content strategy. That’s why it’s one of the core steps of our methodology and why every single one of our clients—no matter their level of investment—walks away with content strategy and search engine optimization.
Our final step ties our previous work together, ensuring your visual presentation and services presentation/model align beautifully with your content strategy and overarching marketing movement. We call this “the fun stuff” and it’s all part of ensuring your brand and marketing are true, meaningful, and distinctive.
"My business wouldn’t be where it is today without Sarah and her team. I first hired Sarah Moon & Co for a website design project almost a decade ago. What sets Sarah apart is that she’s a super savvy business strategist. I can honestly say that no one has done more to put me on the right path."
On behalf of Team SM&Co, I’m delighted you’ve found us. This is the first step in developing a sustainable, evergreen marketing strategy—and creating the tools to make it all happen.
I always say we do things a bit differently around here, and that’s because we see over and over again that the most visionary companies and organizations are too often their industries’ best-kept secret. They’re doing incredible work, and yet they’ve only reached a tiny fraction of the audience that needs to know about them.
That’s where we step in.
We use a unique framework to leverage the power of Google search, combine that with content strategy, and a sprinkling of our design smarts to move the needle to raise your profile and develop your Aligned Authority™. To the best of my knowledge, no one else uses this methodology—and yet, it’s accessible and achievable in a way that other marketing strategies simply are not.
If you’re ready for your marketing to help you get visible in a fresh and exciting way, we’d love to meet you.
"Hiring you was/is the best choice for my business. It's truly changed how I get clients and how I am found by my clients. And I am getting clients that are an exact fit for my business, who are willing to pay my prices without question..."

If you truly cannot take these steps, paid ads are likely a better strategy. While we love leveraging the work we do as content drivers for ads, we are not an advertising agency and recommend you work with someone specializing in that field.
That depends on way too many individual factors:
However, we have seen clients have results in weeks to months. Data indicates that pure SEO work typically takes about six months to really take off, but again, that’s highly variable.
