CDR Media is a one-person marketing and sales enablement studio in Charlotte.
I’m Chad Reichel. CDR Media is where I do SEO, AI search, web design, and sales enablement work for service businesses, startups, and local brands that want a plan and someone who will carry it out.
Chad Reichel
Founder & Marketing Strategist, CDR MediaI’ve spent my career on both sides of the marketing and sales line: running SEO for clients at a Charlotte digital agency, and leading marketing and sales enablement inside a company that sold high-end, high-consideration work. That second job is where the CDR Media approach came from. Marketing that isn’t connected to how the sales team actually works produces leads nobody closes.
Day to day I work in HubSpot, WordPress, Google’s search tools, and the SEO platforms agencies use. I like clean data, honest reporting, and systems a small team can keep running without me.
Let’s connectSix services, one person accountable for all of them.
Everything below is done by me, in Charlotte, with no handoff to a junior team. Most clients start with one and add others as the first pays off.
- SEO and AI search (GEO): rankings on Google and citations in AI answers
- Local SEO: Google Business Profile, reviews, and the Charlotte map pack
- Web design and development: fast, conversion-built WordPress sites
- Sales enablement: playbooks, CRM setup, and pipeline reporting
- Go-to-market strategy: positioning, channels, and launch plans
- Marketing automation and CRM and content and creative: HubSpot workflows and content that earns attention
Four rules every project follows.
Strategy first
Every tactic ladders up to a written plan tied to a business goal you can name.
Real numbers
Decisions backed by clean data and plain reporting. If a number can’t be traced, it doesn’t go in the report.
Clean execution
Systems and builds that are tidy, documented, and easy for your team to maintain after I’m done.
Straight answers
If something won’t work, or a cheaper option would, I say so before you spend the money.
