How I work

I answer. When you book a call, I am the one on it, and when the work starts, I am the one doing it. Green Thoughts Consulting is me, the systems I have built to do the repeatable parts well, and collaborators I bring in for a specific piece of a project when it needs one. There is no account manager and no junior you meet after signing.

Every engagement runs on the Define–Design–Traffic–Convert method (DDTC), and every one starts with the audience: who you want, who you do not, where they spend time online and the words they use. I would rather spend the first month on that than the first year guessing. You hear from me every month about what happened and what is next, and if something is not working I will say so.

I trained as an accountant and later in organizational psychology, and the combination is the point. The accounting is why I can put a number on a process and tell you what automating it would save. The psychology is why I can explain why people act as they do on a page, and why a site designed for a named audience converts where a site designed to impress its owner does not. The MBA in between is where the two met.

Background

I founded Green Thoughts Consulting in 2011 and have run it for fifteen years. In that time I have consulted on search, technical SEO and go-to-market problems, designed and built custom sites and the systems behind them, and more recently built an agentic system that produces finished client websites, which taught me more about process and AI integration than any course could.

Before and alongside the firm I have been an adjunct professor, the director and project manager of a small nonprofit running SAMHSA-funded programs, and a project manager with the State of Georgia. Those jobs are where I learned to run a project with a budget, a deadline and people who did not report to me, which is most of consulting.

The mark is four leaves in four greens. They stand for the four phases of the method, in order: Define, Design, Traffic, Convert.

  • Jeff is great. Takes the extra time to explain to you the upkeep and time it takes to manage your site. He went out of his way to have one on one calls with me to walk me through things. Great company to work with. I am a smaller company and was hesitant to pay someone but happy I found Jeff.

  • Really enjoyed working with Green Thoughts Consulting. They explained everything clearly, stayed responsive throughout the project, and gave practical advice we could actually use. Professional team but still very easy to talk to.

  • Jeff not only increased traffic to my business, but walked me through a lot of other aspects of marketing. He has spent a lot of time working with me, include just generally advising me about my online shop. His prices are reasonable and he is also a super nice guy!
