About

Hi, I'm Zack.

I run HopHQ. That's the whole company. So when you hire me, you actually get me. Not a sales guy who signs you up and then hands you off to a junior team you never meet.

The short version

How I ended up doing this

I spent 14 years in restaurants. Started as a busboy, worked my way up to running the place. You learn a lot managing a kitchen on a busy Friday night. How to keep your head when everything's on fire, how to actually take care of people, and how a business really makes its money.

Then I burned out, like a lot of people do, and got pulled into the whole "make money online" thing. Bought the courses. Chased the systems. Most of it was junk, honestly. But somewhere in there I picked up real skills. Building websites. SEO. Running ads. Making content people actually care about.

At some point it clicked that business owners were paying good money for the exact stuff I'd taught myself at 2am. So I started doing the work for them instead of chasing the next shiny system. That's HopHQ. That's pretty much the whole origin story.

How I work

No agency. No runaround. Just me.

I keep the client list small on purpose. If I'm working with you, I'm not spread across forty other accounts, and I'm never handing your business off to someone who's never once talked to you. You get the person who actually does the work. Every time.

Zack Hoppaugh, HopHQ

You talk to me. I do the work. No account manager relay, no ticket system, no chain of command to get through.
You own everything. Your site, your domain, your content. Yours from day one. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you.
Month to month. No long contracts. You stay because it's working, not because you signed something you can't get out of.
I care about customers, not clicks. Reports are fine. The phone actually ringing and jobs getting booked is the real point.

For what it's worth

A little credibility, since you're here

I've been named an Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine, and picked up a couple of their global awards along the way (the CREA Global Award and the Brainz 500). Nice things to have on the shelf.

But the thing I'm actually proud of is that my clients stick around, and they don't have to. There's no contract keeping them there. They stay because the work works. That's the only scoreboard I really pay attention to.
