The Way Customers Search Has Changed – Have You?
Customers are searching in a completely different way than they were a few years ago. With AI tools, voice search, social media and other systems specifically designed to offer personalized answers to questions almost instantly, if your website isn’t built for what your customers are searching for – you’re being skipped over!
We Skip The
Copy & Paste
Your customers don’t all search the same way, so why should marketing look the exact same business-to-business? We build your marketing around your actual customers, your service areas and realistic search intent so your business gets shown.
Forget The Vanity Metrics
Likes, followers, random traffic from China – what does it all mean? We don’t bog you down with metrics you know nothing about. Instead we focus on getting you real results, real calls and real customers that can actually convert.
We Get The ‘Gray Area’ of Marketing
We live and breathe everything marketing, from how Google reads your website to how search engines crawl social media sites, ensuring your business is staying up to date on the technical, psychology and strategy sides of your online presence.
No More Gray Areas in Your Marketing, Just Real Results.
What People Are Saying
She thinks outside the box, which is what i needed. Never felt stupid for not knowing the tech terms, that’s where she shines. She took the time to learn about my profession to make the website more effective. Lastly, she took my vision and made it bigger/better because she knows what technology can do! She is worth more than she knows!
— Micah D., Bridge Interpreting Partners (Twin Cities, MN)
I’ve hired Autumn for multiple projects over the years and I have always been so pleased with her knowledge and willingness to bring my vision into a reality. My work load has increased from what she has done with Google and so much more! Appreciate you!!
— Adam W., Rough Cuts Construction (Harrison, AR)
Autumn’s expertise is something I’ve admired for years. As someone in the digital marketing space, I’ve found it easy to refer others to her. She’s a priceless resource, and I’m Blessed to know her.
— Sami P., All Things Social (Blaine, MN)
I run a small business and honestly had no idea why I wasn’t showing up on Google when people searched for what I do. I’d tried “marketing” before and it went nowhere — just confusing reports and no real explanation of what was actually happening. This was completely different. She walked me through, in plain English, exactly what my customers were searching for and why my competitors were showing up instead of me. Then she gave me simple, specific things to fix — nothing complicated, no funnels or buzzwords. Just clear steps that actually moved the needle. If you’re tired of wondering why the phone isn’t ringing, this is worth your time.
— Shanna S., Rise and Thrive Marketing (Montgomery, MN)

Who’s Behind Gray Matter Marketing?
Gray Matter Marketing was created by someone who’s been on both sides of the table. Autumn Gran has 15+ years of experience working for businesses, as a marketing strategist, as a client and as someone tired of watching small businesses get burned by agencies that overpromise and underdeliver. Which is exactly why Gray Matter Marketing exists today. To connect business owners not with an account rep, an overseas contractor or an AI tool pretending to be a ‘real human’, but with our Owner and Lead Marketing Strategist.
