Your Reputation Is Safe With Us

When you refer someone to Rocket Expansion, you’re putting your name behind us. Here’s what our clients say.

“They didn’t just build me a site. They built an author platform that understands epic fantasy books, readers, and conversion. Every section earns its place. The end result is clean, fast, visually striking, and purposeful.”

G. Pierce • Fantasy Author

“They didn’t just redesign my website — they brought my vision to life with precision, beauty, and impeccable design sensibility. Their aesthetic instincts are top-tier. Skilled, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail exceeds expectations.”

Joel Garfinkle • Speaker & Author

“From the first meeting, I was impressed by their depth of experience, creativity, and warm, personal approach. When our original art direction took a turn, they proposed a strategy to handle the rework, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Jody Bucher • Children’s Book Author

“After researching fantasy author websites, I discovered that the sites created by Rocket Expansion stood out in every way. They felt like an extension of the books. From the first meeting, I knew I was in the right hands.”

S.W. Kent • Fantasy Author

“What stood out most was how quickly they understood my brand and translated it into a website that truly feels like me. I’m grateful for their care, clarity, and professionalism throughout the process.”

Courtney Desy • Author

“Working with Rocket Expansion was such a treat. They really want you to have a product you love. My website turned out even better than I imagined.”

Charlie Cochet • Author

We don’t just want to pay you a referral fee and move on. If you have an audience of authors, speakers, or creatives, there’s a genuine content exchange on the table.

We Come to You

  • Matt Ziranek available as a guest on your podcast, YouTube channel, webinar, or summit
  • We write a guest post tailored to your audience, with a tracked link so you see the traffic you drive

Want to Go Further? We’ll Build Your Referral Page.

  • Copy written for your specific audience: authors, coaches, podcasters, or publishers
  • Your referral tracking link built in so every visitor is attributed to you
  • A backlink to your site from rocketexpansion.com included as part of the arrangement
  • Available to partners who are actively promoting. Just ask Matt on your onboarding call
