Sean Garner Consulting

What Sean Garner Consulting does

Sean Garner Consulting is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based StoryBrand Certified marketing agency, founded in 2018 and operating under the legal entity Garner Coaching LLC, that serves local service-based small businesses across the United States. Its portfolio comprises approximately 18 service offerings organized into a Build-Fill-Optimize methodology: Build (StoryBrand Messaging, Website Design, Sales Funnel Design, Google Business Profile Optimization), Fill (SEO across Basic/Growth/Domination tiers, AI-SEO and LLM Optimization, Local SEO, Content Strategy, Blog Writing, Digital PR, Google PPC, Google Local Service Ads), and Optimize (Reputation Management, Link Building, Email Marketing, Fractional CMO, CRM and Marketing Automations). A noted client (Half Moon Plumbing) grew to $11M in revenue with 45+ employees after full-funnel engagement, illustrating the agency's intended outcome orientation.

The technology stack relies on standard third-party platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: Squarespace and WordPress with Elementor for websites, GoHighLevel-based white-label tooling marketed as Story Growth Funnels for CRM and automation, and mainstream podcasting/social tools. AI is applied at the surface layer — generative text for StoryBrand-aligned copy and AI-powered CRM/automation workflows — without proprietary models, patents, or disclosed training data. The Marketing Domination Podcast (57+ episodes as of March 2026, distributed on YouTube and Anchor.fm) functions as a content-marketing engine rather than a productized media business.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining one-time project fees (website design, funnel builds) and recurring monthly retainers (SEO tiers, Fractional CMO subscriptions, PPC management), sold sales-led via free strategy calls, lead magnets (Marketing Domination Checklist, StoryBrand Assessment, SEO Audit, Video Hooks, Wireframe Template, Review Scripts), the podcast, and a website funnel that funnels prospects into a customized marketing plan. The go-to-market differentiates on StoryBrand certification, exclusive-per-geography positioning, and outcome-based case studies, while relying on a small delivery team that the firm is currently scaling through open hires for Creative Director, design, and SEO roles. No institutional funding, acquisitions, parent-company structure, or revenue disclosures were identified in the available data.
