Thoughtful work for your business.
With Regard helps businesses build better digital foundations, reach more customers, and run smoother. The work is founder-led by Bill Barker.
What's not working?
We're not getting found.
Customers search for what you do and land somewhere else. We look at your site, your Google Business Profile, and your listings to find out why—and fix what matters first.
Start with search visibility →Leads are slipping through.
Calls go unanswered, inquiries wait days, follow-up depends on memory. We build the follow-up systems—automation and CRM—that catch what the busy weeks drop.
Start with lead follow-up →Our systems are hard to manage.
Too many tools, no documentation, and everything routes through one person. We map how the work actually flows and simplify it until the business is easier to run.
Start with operations →Good work looks like clarity where there was confusion—a site that loads, a profile that ranks, a system that runs without babysitting. That's what we're here to build.
Founder-led, start to finish
When you work with With Regard, you work with Bill Barker—the person who builds the sites, runs the search work, and configures the systems. No account managers, no handoffs to a production team. When something genuinely needs a specialist, we say so and bring one in openly.

Discovery
We look at what's actually happening with your business online—what's working, what's not, and where the gaps are.
-
Strategy
We tell you plainly what we'd do and why. No jargon, no padding—just a clear plan you can approve, question, or change.
-
Delivery
We do the work carefully, explain it clearly, and stay close. You know exactly what was done and what it means for your business.
Serving: Kansas City, Overland Park, and Lee's Summit.
Are we the right fit?
We're likely a good fit if
- You run an owner-led local or small business and want to work directly with the person doing the work.
- You want to own your website, data, and accounts—not rent them from a vendor.
- You want plain explanations and honest recommendations, including "this is not worth doing yet."
- You're in the Kansas City area, or comfortable working remotely.
We're probably not if
- You need a large team to run big ad budgets or daily social content.
- You want guaranteed rankings or overnight results—no honest practice can promise those.
- You want to hand everything off without ever discussing how your business works.
Common questions before reaching out
-
We focus local, hands-on work in the Kansas City metro—including Overland Park and Lee's Summit—and work remotely with businesses elsewhere. Most of the work travels well; we'll tell you plainly if something really needs to happen in person.
-
Mostly owner-led local and small businesses—the kind where the owner is close to the work and wants a direct working relationship. If your situation is bigger or unusual, ask; the honest answer might be a referral.
-
Three shapes: a focused diagnostic review to clarify the current state, a defined project with clear deliverables and a timeline, or ongoing guidance where monitoring and iteration genuinely recur. Most engagements start with one or two things and expand only if it makes sense.
-
Your message goes directly to Bill—there's no intake team or sales sequence. You'll get a personal reply by email, usually with a few questions about your situation, and we go from there. If a conversation makes sense, we schedule one.
-
No. Some work is genuinely one-time—a site build, a profile cleanup, a workflow setup. We recommend ongoing arrangements only when the work actually recurs, and we explain what you would be paying for.
