What I did
A connected growth strategy.
Clarify target customer, offer and positioning
Audit websites, messaging and conversion readiness
Strengthen trust through proof and authentic reviews
Match content, paid media and lifecycle to the business model
Build owned acquisition to reduce marketplace dependence
Result
For Assembly Pro, the evidence establishes the starting context: a strong pre-existing Thumbtack profile with a 4.7 rating across 715 reviews. Fabris's contribution was strategic direction for an owned acquisition system—not those marketplace results.
Evidence behind the work
Claims connected to proof.
Each section states what the evidence supports—and whether Fabris owned execution, collaborated with agency partners, or provided strategic direction.

Diagnosing marketplace dependence
4.7 · 715 reviews (pre-existing)
The profile demonstrates strong marketplace proof—and the strategic risk of depending on a platform for demand. Fabris recommended an owned website, Google Business Profile, review capture, SEO, paid search and conversion system. The rating and reviews are client context, not Fabris-generated results.
What I learned
The right channel plan begins with business dependence and the customer journey, not tactics.
