Enterprise marketing, small-business priced.

I'm Nick Goetsch. For a decade I ran paid media and analytics for brands with serious budgets. Sixsmith Digital brings that same senior-level work to the small businesses big agencies won't touch — made affordable by AI and automation.

The problem

Good marketing help has been priced out of reach for small business.

Real paid-media and analytics expertise lives at agencies — and agencies need big retainers to make the hands-on work profitable. So small businesses get turned away, or handed to a junior on autopilot.

That math is changing. The repetitive parts of campaign management and reporting can now be automated. I build that automation — so I can deliver senior-level work at a price a small budget can actually justify.

How I work

A straightforward way of working.

No jargon, no black box. Here's exactly how an engagement runs.

01

Diagnose

I start with your data and your numbers — not a templated pitch. We find where money is leaking and where the fastest wins are.

02

Build the foundation

Clean tracking and measurement first. Without trustworthy data, every optimization after it is a guess.

03

Execute & automate

I run the campaigns and build the automation that keeps them efficient — so your budget works harder than it would at a big agency.

04

Report in plain English

You get dashboards and a straight answer to one question every month: is this making you money?

Selected work

I build what I recommend.

A marketer who only talks strategy is guessing. These are things I actually build and run.

Tooling I'm building

PPC automation engine

A Google Ads API toolkit that automates reporting, bid and budget optimization, and campaign management — the same automation I use to make small accounts viable.

Sites I build and run

Content & SEO portfolio

A portfolio of niche content sites where I test content strategy, technical SEO, and measurement in the open — so my recommendations come from doing, not theory.

Analytics practice

Measurement & dashboards

GA4, server-side tracking, and Looker Studio builds that turn scattered marketing data into one clear view of what's actually driving revenue.

Why me

A decade of big-budget experience, pointed at small business.

I've managed paid media as VP at a performance agency and run digital marketing inside a global company. I started Sixsmith Digital because the businesses that need this expertise most — the local shops, the founders, the lean teams — are the ones who can never get it.

  • You work directly with me — never handed to a junior
  • Plain-English reporting tied to revenue, not vanity metrics
  • Honest tactics only — no spam, no shortcuts that get you penalized
