"I'm talking a 702% ROI"
Ciara is an absolute marketing wizard. We worked with a big ad agency for two years (and tried three others before that), and she outperformed all of them within just a few months... I'm talking a 702% ROI outperformed.
She's just one of those people that just gets it. On top of that, she’s a total joy to work with. One of our best hires.
If you’re on the fence, just hire her. Your business will thank you.
The Problem:
Most marketing focuses on getting the click…
But then what?
They get distracted.
They lose your site in their 100s of open tabs.
They don’t buy.
They don’t peruse.
They don’t even remember your name.
So now you’ve paid for marketing, and you have nothing to show for it.
That is a waste of your hard earned revenue.
Why don’t we make some changes, and get a return on that investment?
Here’s how we do things differently.
Any agency can drive clicks.
We focus on what happens after that click.
Our approach is easy.
Capture contact information as quickly as possible
Form an instant connection
Follow up intentionally in a way that feels personal and human… not salesy or AI
(even when it’s automated)
Stay top of mind for anyone who isn’t ready yet, and help ease them into being ready sooner!
Our approach saves your marketing dollars.
If a lead clicks away, gets distracted, or needs more time… you remain the best possible solution in their mind for when they are ready.
No spamming.
No pushing.
Real connection.

VIRAL!
I genuinely was considering going out of business. The next day I had a conversation with Ciara.
She SAVED my business.
— Dr. Karen R.
I don't like thinking about my marketing. With Ciara and her team, I was able to set it and forget it. She designed my website and has us ranking way higher than we once were on Google.
I occasionally send her new photos, but aside from that, I don't do a thing but watch new customers roll in.
— Jewlz A.
Light Up Marketing has helped me to expand the Real Estate Investing side of my business.
Before Ciara, I hated marketing. Now I still don't love it, but I love how much it helps. I trust Ciara with all of my marketing!

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand this is a big process that you don't want to take lightly. Here are some questions that we are often asked. We hope these answers help make this decision even easier for you.
How is this different from other marketing agencies?
Most agencies focus on getting clicks. We focus on what happens after. We capture leads, follow up intentionally, and build real connection—so your marketing actually turns into customers.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients start seeing leads within the first 2 weeks. Long-term growth—like Google rankings and reputation—builds over time, but we focus on getting momentum quickly.
Do I need a big ad budget?
No. We specialize in low daily ad spend with highly targeted strategies. It’s not about spending more—it’s about spending smarter.
What if I’ve tried marketing before and it didn’t work?
You’re not alone. Most marketing fails because there’s no follow-up or system behind it. We fix that by making sure every lead is captured, nurtured, and guided toward taking action.
Will I have to manage everything myself?
No. We handle the strategy, setup, and ongoing optimization. You’ll always know what’s going on, but you won’t be stuck managing it.
