Marketplace and local growth for service businesses

Growth support for regional businesses that are ready to win more work, build better systems and scale with confidence

WHO WE ARE

Howzen is a growth partner for regional service businesses. We help companies generate more profitable work by improving how they perform across marketplaces, Google and local marketing channels.

We combine commercial strategy with practical execution, focusing on revenue, conversion and return on investment rather than marketing activity for its own sake.

MEET TIM

I’m Tim Pearce, founder of Howzen.

I’ve spent more than 20 years helping businesses grow across marketplaces, advertising, technology and digital media. Most recently, I led strategic accounts at Checkatrade, working closely with large service businesses and helping them deliver sustainable growth across sponsored listings, display, print and performance-based pricing. In my career so far I have delivered award winning business growth projects across all media channels from search and social to TV. I am an Associate member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

I created Howzen because many regional service businesses invest heavily in marketplaces, Google and local marketing without having a clear view of what is really driving profitable growth.

Howzen brings together commercial strategy, marketplace expertise and practical marketing support to help businesses improve visibility, convert more enquiries and make better decisions about where to invest.
