I've been where you are.
Running a small business is hard enough without having to figure out why customers can't find you online. That's why I do what I do.
Suzanne Q.
Founder, Clear Path by SuziQ
I've been a small business owner since 2009. I started my first business in Calgary before opening SuziQs Pet Spaw in Carstairs in 2021. I knew the service I provided was good—my customers told me so. But I also realized that when someone new moved to town and searched for what I offered, my business wasn't always as visible as it could be.
As I started learning about local search, I quickly discovered how easy it is for important business information to become outdated or overlooked. Like many small business owners, I was busy running my business—not trying to become an online marketing expert.
Once I corrected those issues and improved my online presence, the difference was immediate. More calls. More walk-ins. More customers who found me on Google and Apple Maps and said, "I've been looking for someone like you." That experience changed how I thought about marketing, and it changed what I wanted to do next.
I created Clear Path by SuziQ because I know there are thousands of small-town business owners in the same position I was in—doing great work, but not getting found online. I don't believe every business needs an expensive marketing agency or a complicated strategy. I believe most small businesses need honest advice, practical solutions, and someone who understands what it's like to wear every hat. That's exactly what I aim to provide.
My promise to you
If I believe something will help your business, I'll tell you. If I don't think it's worth your money, I'll tell you that too. My goal isn't to sell you services you don't need — it's to help your business become easier for customers to find and easier for them to trust.
How I work
Plain language, always
I explain everything in plain English. No acronyms, no tech jargon, no making you feel like you should already know this.
Honest advice first
If something isn't going to make a real difference for your business, I'll tell you. I'd rather give you the truth than sell you something you don't need.
Built for small towns
I understand the rhythm of small-town business — the word-of-mouth culture, the tight budgets, the fact that you wear every hat. My services are designed around that reality.
Real results, not vanity metrics
I care about more than impressions and clicks. What ultimately matters is whether customers find you, contact you, and walk through your door.
