About
German Tirado is the founder of Max Digital Edge and the architect of the Demand Capture Infrastructure framework. Since 2011, he has used science-based marketing — and now AI automation — to build the market-based assets of Physical and Mental Availability via Category Entry Points (CEPs) for brands including Shriners Hospitals and dozens of local service businesses across the US. German developed the Buying Moment methodology: a system for identifying and capturing the critical windows when customers have decided to hire and are actively comparing options. His work focuses on eliminating demand loss for HVAC, roofing, dental, pest control, plumbing, and 32+ other local service industries through infrastructure-first marketing strategy backed by measurable coverage accountability. His approach is grounded in the evidence-based marketing science of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute — applied to the fast-moving, high-intent world of local service business.
