We work with small businesses across the Blue Mountains, Penrith, Hawkesbury, and Lithgow to build their digital presence and automate the work that eats their time. Website, local SEO, lead automation, AI tools. Set up properly and kept running month to month.
We work with small businesses across the Blue Mountains corridor: service businesses, trades, professional practices, and purpose-driven organisations. If your business runs on local jobs or referrals, we know how to get you found and keep your pipeline full. We cover the full corridor — from Faulconbridge and Springwood up through Katoomba, Leura, Wentworth Falls, Lawson, Linden and Mount Victoria, across to Hartley and Lithgow, and down to Penrith and the Hawkesbury.
We build your digital foundation, then stay on monthly to keep it working. Reviews responded to, rankings maintained, leads tracked, and automations running in the background so you can focus on the work.
View services →We come to you. No video calls, no remote handoffs. We sit down with you, figure out what your business actually needs, and build it together.
You will always know exactly what we are doing and why. No acronyms, no pitch decks. Just a clear conversation about what is going to work for your business.
Most clients are live within a few days of our first conversation. We work quickly, keep the process light, and get you seeing results before you have had time to second-guess anything.
We are based here and we work here. We know the corridor, we know the market, and we are genuinely invested in seeing local businesses do well.
Mark turned around a full website, booking automation, and lead gen setup faster than I thought was possible. The whole thing was live in days and the leads started coming through almost immediately. He explained everything clearly, never made me feel like I was out of my depth, and the ongoing support has been genuinely useful. Highly recommend him to any local business that wants to get serious online.
Everything starts with a conversation. We come to you, take a look at how your business runs, and give you a straight answer on what is going to make the biggest difference. No pressure, no pitch deck, just a clear plan.
Tell us about your business and what you are trying to fix. We will tell you honestly what we think will help and what the right next step looks like. Takes 15 minutes and costs nothing.
If it makes sense to go deeper, we offer a paid AI Audit at $497 where we come on site, map everything out, and give you a written plan. That fee is credited in full toward any work you go ahead with.
For most small businesses, the best outcome is a system that runs itself. We build your digital foundation, manage it on a monthly retainer, and keep the leads coming in. You focus on the work. Starting from $1,500 setup and $350 per month retainer.
Built for service businesses where speed of response wins the job. We set up an automated system that captures every enquiry, sends an instant response, and follows up until you hear back. No more leads going cold because you were busy. Monthly retainer keeps it tuned and working.
A fast, clean website that ranks in local searches and turns visitors into calls. Built specifically for your trade and your service area across every suburb in the corridor. Monthly retainer covers your Google Business Profile, review responses, ranking maintenance, and a monthly report.
Paid search for businesses with a clear service and a fixed price range. We set up and manage your campaigns so you show up when someone in the Blue Mountains is actively looking for what you do. Works best stacked on top of a strong organic foundation.
For business owners who want genuine control over how their operation runs. This is a bigger commitment than the done-for-you track but the upside is real: a business that thinks with you, not just for you.
We install Claude Code into your business: a workspace that knows your operations, your clients, and your data. Then we build it out together, automating the repetitive work, connecting your key systems, and training you to run the whole thing end to end.
You own it outright. It lives on your machine, in your name. We stay on monthly to keep building it out as your business grows and your needs change.
Mark spent close to a decade working in customer success and implementation at some of the world's fastest-growing software companies. The common thread across all of it was straightforward: helping businesses get real value from technology, not just get it switched on.
He spent three years at Shopify as a Merchant Success Manager, advising enterprise merchants and guiding them through platform adoption, new product rollouts, and operational change. Before that, he built customer success functions from the ground up at high-growth startups including Smile.io and Limepay, managing hundreds of clients and consistently cutting time-to-value in half.
More recently he co-founded a consulting agency working with healthtech businesses on AI implementation, rolling out CRMs, AI support tools, and voice workflows across medical clinics and health applications.
After several successful projects in that space, he decided to bring the same approach to small businesses closer to home. That's what BlueGumAI is. Practical implementation, from someone who has spent years helping businesses make the most of technology.
