Ghiringhelli Marketing was born from one simple truth most small businesses aren’t failing because of bad service or lack of effort…
they’re failing because they don’t have a system that works as hard as they do.

That realization brought together two people from completely different worlds
David Ghiringhelli and Shakil Ahmed partners with one shared mission:
to build a marketing system that actually delivers proof, not promises.

I (David) grew up running family-owned businesses in Marin County from restaurants to event venues and know firsthand how unpredictable growth can feel.
I spent years working with agencies, buying ads, and trying everything to drive more leads…
only to face what every small business owner feels confusion, missed opportunities, and wasted money.

Over the past few years, I dove deep into the world of marketing myself learning, testing, and applying what really works for small, local businesses.
I understand the strategy behind campaigns, the psychology of good creative, and how to turn data into real, trackable ROI.

Meanwhile, Shakil Ahmed had already earned his B.Sc. in Information and Communication Engineering and spent more than a decade mastering marketing systems, CRM automation, and ad technology for companies across multiple industries.
He understood the logic the coding, the integrations, and the automation power that make marketing scalable and measurable.

When we crossed paths, the spark was instant.
I brought the real-world small-business experience and marketing strategy.
Shakil brought the deep technical mastery and system engineering expertise.
And together, we built The Local Growth Engine™.

It’s a system built for skilled trades and home-service professionals
plumbers, landscapers, painters, HVAC techs, pest control, and more
the hardworking people who keep their communities running every single day.

The Local Growth Engine™ connects everything:
Google, Meta, SEO, and automation all feeding into one CRM that captures leads, texts them back instantly, and books jobs automatically.

No missed calls. No lost opportunities. No guesswork.

Just results trackable, transparent, and built for real ROI.

Today, we lead an in-house team of specialists who’ve managed over $250,000 in ad spend and marketed for multiple multimillion-dollar businesses across the North Bay area helping local companies grow with consistency, transparency, and confidence.

We don’t outsource.
We don’t overpromise.
And we don’t stop until your business has momentum that feels unstoppable.

Our promise is simple:

If after 90 days you don’t see the transformation, we work for free until you do.

Because that’s what happens when real owners and real engineers come together
marketing becomes more than ads… it becomes a system that grows your business for you.
