About Midwest Verified Views
Our Mission
I’m Steven Cook—a Midwestern-born photographer and digital marketer with 20+ years of experience (including managing a $27+ M Google Ads portfolio for UnitedHealthcare) and 13 years behind the bar and in restaurant management. I founded Midwest Verified Views to help local bars, restaurants, breweries and dispensaries in the Chicago–Rockford–Milwaukee–Madison corridor stand out with authentic 5★ Google reviews and eye-catching, professional photography. Using Midwest values—work smarter, not harder—and a passion for food and travel, I deliver polished visuals and reviews that turn online interest into real customers.
