WHO DOES THE WORK
One person researches your business and signs their name to it.
I am Rolf Stenberg. I run Global Web Technologies from Dublin, and I carry out every Growth Investigation myself — the research, the judgement and the conclusions.
I have been building and marketing web products since 2010. That means I have spent as much time on the receiving end of marketing advice as I have giving it, and I have watched a lot of money go into activity that nobody could afterwards connect to a customer.
The Growth Investigation exists because of a specific gap. If you want somebody to run your advertising, there is no shortage of agencies. If you want somebody to tell you honestly whether your advertising is working — with no stake in the answer, and nothing to sell you afterwards — that is much harder to buy. An agency reviewing its own work has an obvious problem. A tool that crawls your site produces 147 warnings and no judgement about which of them matters.
How I work
Software helps with the gathering. The judgement is mine. I read the data myself, I check findings in the live pages rather than trusting a crawler, and I tell you when the evidence is thin instead of dressing an assumption up as a conclusion. Every report distinguishes what I verified from what I inferred.
I deliver three moves, not a list of everything imaginable. Ranking the work is the part that takes judgement, and it is the part most reports skip.
Why independence is the point
I am not paid by the number of recommendations I produce, and I do not sell implementation as a retainer. If I investigate your business and the honest answer is that there is no opening worth the effort, I will say so, send you the evidence anyway, and refund you in full. I would rather return €349 than manufacture a recommendation to justify it.
What I am not
Global Web Technologies is not a software product, not a SaaS platform and not an agency on retainer. It is one analyst in Dublin selling one thing: a written investigation for €349, one-off. There is an unrelated web development company of a similar name in India; it is not connected to this practice.
Where I work
I am based in Dublin and most of my clients are Irish, but the method travels. For a UK, US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand business I investigate that market — its competitors, its search behaviour, its sources.
