This is the Markdown version of https://damex.digital/about/shakhawat-ullah-badhon/ # Shakhawat Ullah Badhon. Founder, Damex Digital. Led product marketing and go-to-market at weDevs, led marketing at Damex and managed a marketing team at Genex. Founded Damex Digital so local service businesses get the daily work of a good marketing team, measured in calls and booked jobs. ## What Shakhawat writes about. For owners, not marketers. Shakhawat writes the Damex guides for owners of US local service businesses, from HVAC and plumbing crews to dental and med spa practices. The subjects come from what those owners ask, such as how AI assistants decide who to recommend, what local marketing costs, how to get reviews within the rules, and what to do about missed calls. Every guide follows the [Damex editorial policy](https://damex.digital/editorial-policy/). Facts come from the original source, usually Google, the FTC, the FCC or HHS, and each one is checked on that page before it's published. Worked examples use round numbers and are tagged "Worked example". Damex doesn't publish results it can't show. To report an error in a guide, email [contact@damex.digital](mailto:contact@damex.digital). Want this work done for your own business?
