What we do
Fractional Chief Marketing Officer & Head of Growth
For teams that need a senior marketing operator without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We step in as your fractional CMO and head of growth: we set the commercial strategy from first principles, decide which experiments to run first, and tune the playbook as the numbers come back. We run in focused sprints, write the plays, and either hand them to your team or execute them with you. Messaging, strategy, ads, SEO, email, and the website, scoped to what your business actually needs. We do not sell a fixed package, because no two companies need the same thing.
Not sure you need a full-time CMO?
That is exactly the point. We scope the work to what your business actually needs, then write the plays, execute them, or both. Let us map it with you.
Growth & GTM
When you need the strategy itself, not the full CMO engagement. We build your go-to-market from first principles: who to win, why they pick you, the experiments to run first, and the playbook to run them. We write the plays in focused sprints and can hand them to your team or run them with you. No investor decks, no canned sales scripts, just a commercial strategy you can act on.
Ads & Leads
Most agencies spend your budget learning what they should have known on day one. In most cases, we do not run a dollar of ads until we know which message converts. Then we go where your buyers actually are: Local Services Ads when you need leads tomorrow, Google Search when intent is high, Meta for scale, LinkedIn to land a specific account. We judge every dollar against booked revenue, not a vanity dashboard.
SEO + GEO/AEO
Your buyers check Google first, and increasingly they ask ChatGPT. We took Wheelhouse from page 3 of Google to top rankings, and a brand-new AI startup to the top three of the Map Pack in about four months. We are also one of the few teams shipping GEO and AEO work, the kind that put that same startup at #1 inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude for its category. The boring work that compounds, plus the new work most agencies have not figured out yet.

Messaging & Conversion
You are probably not losing customers because of your product. You are losing them because the words on your site do not land. We say what you do in the language your buyers already use, write the copy across every page and campaign, then test it against how real people behave. When a headline loses people, we see it and rewrite it. We treat your messaging like a campaign, which is why, in most cases, it keeps converting better over time.
Email & Outreach
Email is the one channel you own: no auction, no algorithm deciding who sees you. We build the flows that turn subscribers and slow leads into customers, write outreach built to earn the reply instead of the spam flag, and set up review systems that put your happiest customers to work. Body Juice ran this playbook with us: 65%+ open rates and a 300% revenue increase. The unglamorous work that quietly compounds, running without you having to chase it.
Websites
A pretty site that does not sell is just an expensive brochure. When you actually need a new one, we build in React, Next.js, or WordPress, whatever serves you best. Editorial-grade design, fast as anything, hosted on Vercel, mobile-first. Built to turn visitors into customers, not to win design awards nobody pays you for.

//Why work with us
The honest version, on purpose.
We start from first principles
No recycled playbook. We find the lowest-friction, highest-yield plays for your business, then prove them with rapid experiments before scaling what works.
Senior operators on every account
Senior operators do the actual work, not a junior following a template. Real attention is the expensive ingredient nobody can automate.
No guarantees we cannot keep
No promised rankings, no fixed lead counts. Anyone selling those is selling fiction. We promise clear work, honest reporting, and accountability.
Everything you pay for stays yours
Accounts, data, content, and code stay in your name. If we part ways, your assets come with you.
//Common questions
Things we get asked first.
Do I have to buy all of these?
No. And you should not have to figure out which ones you need, that is our job. We diagnose what is actually holding back your growth, prescribe the one or two services that fix it, and add more only when the math justifies it. Most clients are surprised by where we tell them to start.
What are your contract terms?
Our monthly partnerships run on a simple month-to-month agreement, earned on results, so you are not locked into a long-term commitment. Website builds are project-based. If the work is not paying off, you can leave with notice, and all your accounts and assets stay yours.
What makes you different from other agencies?
Two things. We work from first principles, hunting for the lowest-friction, highest-yield plays for your business instead of running a recycled playbook. And we are honest: no promised results nobody can guarantee, metrics that tie to revenue, everything you pay for stays in your name, and senior operators on every account. It is not flashy, and it is exactly why the work holds up.
How do I know which service I need?
Book a consult. We will diagnose what is actually broken and tell you which service, if any, is the right next dollar, whether you hire us or not.
About Mining Wells
We're on a mission to fix bad marketing.
Maybe:
- You are spending thousands on marketing tools, ads, and your website, with zero revenue increase to show for it.
- Every campaign you have tried gets minimal results.
- You have a great product that nobody seems to find.
- You are getting interest, but it never converts to a sale.
- You have a low retention rate.
- You have been paying a marketing agency for over a year and have not seen results.
You are not alone. Many founders and leaders live with the results of bad marketing without ever finding the reason.
And often that is because it can be many reasons. Sometimes it is the wrong ICP, sometimes the wrong messaging, sometimes the wrong targeting chasing impressions.
We are here to take the hard guesswork out and provide that clarity before it is too late.
At Mining Wells, we help founders and leaders grow their businesses the right way.
