Marketing that starts with listening.
I’m David Golubev, also known as Yaroslav, the founder of Local Business Consulting. I help small and growing businesses get found on Google, fix the websites that lose them leads, and launch products in new markets. I’m based in the Asheville area of North Carolina and work with clients across the US and Canada.
From restaurant floors to running a consultancy.
My career started at Outback Steakhouse, first as a waiter and then as a manager. Customer service was the whole job, and it shaped how I work today.
The turning point came at a high-end restaurant where basic customer needs were being missed. When my feedback was met with resistance, I decided to build something of my own and treat customers the way I would want to be treated. That decision became my consulting firm.
Global product launches
Led affiliates, logistics, launches and marketing across more than 50 countries, and helped triple revenue in a short period.
Search, websites and growth
Local SEO, Google Business Profiles, websites, e-commerce, content and paid media for owner-led businesses.
Fix the real bottleneck first.
Most businesses are told to spend more before anyone figures out what is broken. I start by finding the constraint, then fix things in the right order.
Get found locally
Google Business Profile, local SEO and reviews, so nearby customers find you before a competitor.
Turn visits into leads
Websites and pages that load fast, answer real questions and make it easy to call or book.
Launch and grow
Product launches, affiliate and partner programs, trade shows and e-commerce, built from hands-on experience.
