About Titan Strategies
- What is Titan Strategies?
- Titan Strategies is a one-person web design and AI automation studio run by Liam Cohen. It builds custom websites, AI automation, and brands for owner-run businesses, and offers hospitality consulting backed by 26 years in restaurants, bars, and wineries.
- Who will I work with?
- Liam Cohen, directly. There's no account manager and no hand-offs. You talk to the person doing the work.
- What areas do you serve?
- I serve the Temecula Valley, Murrieta, and the Inland Empire, and I work with businesses across Southern California and beyond.
- What kinds of businesses do you work with?
- Owner-run businesses: wineries, restaurants, and bars; food producers; insurance agencies and professional services; staffing and recruiting firms; and trades and home services.
- How do I get started?
- Book a call or send a message at https://workwithtitan.com/contact, or email liam@workwithtitan.com. We talk about your business, then you get a plain-English plan in writing with what I'll build, how long it takes, and what it costs.
Websites
- How much does a small business website cost?
- A basic website, built from scratch, starts at $1,000. Most business sites, with more pages and features, run around $3,000. You get a written plan with the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
- How long does it take to build a website?
- A basic site is usually ready in 72 hours to a week. A full business site with more pages and features takes about two weeks from our first conversation to launch.
- Are there monthly fees?
- You don't owe me a monthly fee to keep your site online. You pay once for the build and you own the site. Changes or new pages later are quoted as you need them.
- Do I own my website?
- Yes. You own the site and everything on it. There's no contract holding it hostage and no subscription that switches it off.
- Can you redesign my existing website?
- Yes. I rebuild sites from the ground up and move them off old platforms. Marshall Stuart Fine Wines, a Temecula winery, moved off an outdated do-it-yourself site builder to a fast, custom site I built.
- Will my website work on phones?
- Yes. Every site is designed for phones first, then scaled up to desktop, because that's where most customers see it.
- Do you only work with businesses in Temecula?
- No. I serve the Temecula Valley, Murrieta, and the Inland Empire, and I work with businesses across Southern California and beyond.
AI automation
- What can AI automation do for a small business?
- It takes repetitive work off your plate: sorting email and drafting replies, finding the right people or companies and drafting outreach, and handling routine order and member tasks when you ask.
- Will the AI send emails or make changes without me?
- No. Nothing goes out without a person approving it. The assistant drafts and you decide, and for anything that can't be undone it asks first.
- Do I need to be technical to use it?
- No. If you can send a text message, you can use it. You message it like a coworker, it drafts, and you tap approve.
- What does this look like for a real business?
- At a Temecula winery, the wine club manager handles routine club and order work by messaging an assistant called Simon. At a recruiting firm, an automation server finds companies that are hiring and writes the first message to each one for the owner to approve.
Branding
- What does branding include?
- Logos, identity systems (the colors, type, and simple rules that make your website, signs, menus, and social posts look like they belong together), and full rebrands.
- Have you done a full rebrand?
- Yes. DMS Recruiting got a complete rebrand, starting with a new logo, along with a new website.
- Can you clean up the logo I already have?
- Yes. Not every business needs a new logo. Sometimes the right move is cleaning up the one you have.
Digital presence and SEO
- What is a digital presence audit?
- I look at how your business shows up online today: search results, Google Maps, directory listings, social accounts, and your website's technical setup. You get a plain-English list of what's wrong and what to fix first.
- Can you set up my Google Business Profile?
- Yes. I set it up or clean it up so you show up properly on Google Maps and in local search.
- Do you set up business email?
- Yes. A real address at your own domain instead of a free webmail account.
- What results have you gotten?
- Smith Insurance Agency started with no website, no domain, and only unclaimed review profiles on Yelp and Google. Their site now scores 87% on Seobility, an independent SEO tool.
- Do you do local SEO for businesses in Temecula and Murrieta?
- Yes. I serve the Temecula Valley, Murrieta, and the Inland Empire, and I work with businesses across Southern California and beyond.
Hospitality consulting
- What kind of hospitality businesses do you work with?
- Restaurants, bars, wineries, tasting rooms, and new venues getting ready to open.
- What experience do you have in hospitality?
- 26 years in restaurants, bars, and wineries, from the dish pit to general manager.
- Can you help open a new restaurant or tasting room?
- Yes. I help map the path from idea to opening night: budget, vendors, design, timeline, and the small details in between.
- Can you handle the website and operations together?
- Yes. Hospitality clients usually need a website, automation, and operations help at the same time, and I do all of it, so nothing falls between two vendors.
