About Us
Founder, Awakened Innovations
Michael Barnes
I help business owners make smart decisions about their online presence.
Before starting Awakened Innovations, I was a franchise owner with ActionCOACH, one of the world’s leading business coaching firms. That experience taught me something important:
A website should help your business grow — not just look good.
Most websites fail because they are built around design trends instead of real customer behavior.
I focus on simple but powerful questions:
- Who is this site for?
- What does your customer need to see to trust you?
- Will search engines and AI clearly understand what you do?
That’s where my work lives.
How We Work
I lead the strategy for every project.
Behind the scenes, I work with a team of skilled web developers and SEO professionals. Together, we make sure your website is built the right way from the ground up.
You’re not hiring one person — you’re hiring a team.
At Awakened Innovations
We build websites that are clear, honest, and built to bring in real business.
Anyone can create a nice-looking site.
Very few build sites that actually help you get found and chosen.
Our goal is simple:
Make sure customers understand what you do
Make sure Google and AI clearly see your services
Make sure your website turns visitors into leads
Search is changing. AI tools are becoming part of how people find businesses. If your site is unclear, you risk losing visibility over time.
We help you stay visible — now and as search continues to evolve.
Frequently asked questions
We don’t build websites just to look good.
We build websites to help you get found, earn trust, and bring in real leads. Every decision is made with your business growth in mind — not design trends.
Because clear structure helps both people and search engines understand your business.
If your website is confusing, visitors leave.
If search engines are confused, you don’t show up.
We fix both problems.
Absolutely!
Search is evolving. AI tools are starting to answer questions directly instead of just showing a list of websites.
If your site is clear and well-built, you stay visible.
If it’s not, you risk losing traffic over time.
We build with that shift in mind.
No.
Every project starts with a visibility audit. We look at what’s working, what’s not, and what will actually help your business grow.
If something doesn’t need to be rebuilt, we won’t rebuild it.
We work best with:
• Service businesses that rely on inbound leads
• Owners who want long-term growth
• Businesses in competitive markets
If being found online matters to your revenue, we’re a good fit.
We ask questions first.
We explain things in plain language.
We focus on results — not buzzwords.
You’ll always know what we’re doing and why.
