MAKOWAVES · DIGITAL PRESENCE

Built for Businesses That Deserve to Be Seen.

THE PROBLEM

Most businesses are online. Very few are visible.

No strategy

A website exists, but nothing connects it to real goals. Presence without a plan doesn’t move a business forward.

Scattered channels

SEO, social, and ads all running in different directions. Effort gets spent, but nothing compounds into momentum.

No one asking “why”

The tactics get executed, but no one stops to ask what the business is really trying to say — or to whom.

THE SYSTEM

Four pillars. One integrated system.

Web Design & Development

A fast, credible website built to convert — the foundation every other channel points back to.

SEO

Get found when it matters. Search visibility that brings the right people to your door, consistently.

Digital Marketing

Campaigns that connect strategy to action — turning attention into measurable growth across every channel.

Social Media Strategy

A voice that sounds like you and shows up with purpose — building the audience your business deserves.

About the Founder

Alexis Santiago built Mako Waves for the businesses that deserve to be seen.

A Master’s in Marketing. Years in security and management. A pivot back to what she loved. Alexis Santiago founded Mako Waves to give small businesses the strategy, voice, and visibility they deserve — starting with understanding their why.

“Most agencies skip the ‘why.’ I start there — because when I understand your why, everything else has something true to stand on.”

Deep ocean current

Not silos. A system that compounds.

Web design, SEO, digital marketing, and social media aren’t separate line items — they’re one machine. When each one reinforces the others, momentum builds on itself. That’s how a brand stops blending in and starts making waves.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE STRATEGY

Digital presence isn’t optional. It’s the difference.

“I am very pleased with the work of my web designer pro Alexis, and would recommend her to anyone seeking high quality web design at a good price. She was on time, easy to reach, detail oriented, and also effective at SEO to help drive viewers to the website.
