Three steps to local dominance.

Geo-targeted content, local link building, and conversion-focused landing pages work together to drive organic and paid traffic that turns into calls, visits, and bookings.

03

Ongoing review management, competitor monitoring, and performance reporting keep you ahead. We protect your rankings and continuously expand your local reach.

How To Choose

How to choose a local business marketing agency. Five questions to ask before you sign.

Every agency will tell you it's the right fit for a local business. Here's what to actually check before you hand over your marketing budget.

01 · Ask for proof

Industry experience you can verify

Local search ranks businesses on proximity, relevance, and prominence, not on how big the budget is. A tactic built for a national retailer often does nothing for a shop three streets from its closest competitor. Ask any agency to show you real, current map pack rankings for a business it manages today, not a highlight reel from years ago.

  • Real map pack rankings, not old screenshots
  • A client in a similar-sized city or neighborhood

02 · Get it in writing

Transparent pricing, not one bundled number

Local marketing quotes often bundle your ad spend and the agency's fee into a single monthly number, so you can't tell how much is actually reaching customers versus paying the agency. Ask for the split in writing before you sign anything.

  • Google Ads: 10% of your budget, $600/mo minimum, no markup
  • SEO: $50 per page per month, 10-page minimum ($500/mo to start)
  • Websites: one-time, from $1,500 to $20,000+

03 · Stay flexible

No long-term contracts

A busy season, a new competitor two blocks over, or a chain store moving into the neighborhood can change what your business needs from marketing within a few months. A contract that locks you in for a year makes it hard to adjust when your street does.

  • Month-to-month, cancel anytime
  • 30-day guarantee: no real work or results, that month is free

04 · Reports you can trust

Reporting you can actually read

A good report should read like someone actually looked at your business this month, not a template with your business name swapped in. If you finish a report and still can't tell what changed or why, ask for a plain-English version. We write ours that way from the start.

05 · Keep your keys

Ownership of your accounts and data

Your Google Business Profile, website, and analytics should be set up under your own business login, not the agency's internal account. If the agency owns the login, your rankings, reviews, and history disappear the day you leave, and local rankings can take months to rebuild from zero. You own everything we set up for you, from day one.

  • Your Google Business Profile
  • Your website and hosting
  • Your analytics and ad accounts

Transparent Pricing

What local business marketing costs. No hidden fees.

There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. If the first 30 days don't show real work and results, that month is free. Here's what each service costs on its own.

Google Ads

Local ad budgets get wasted fast on searches from outside your area. We set radius and neighborhood targeting so your spend only reaches people close enough to actually visit. Management is 10% of your monthly ad budget, $600/mo minimum, and your ad budget goes to Google in full, with no markup from us. Full pricing details at /google-ads.

Local SEO

Ranking in the map pack depends on different signals than ranking a blog post: your Google Business Profile, consistent listings across the web, and pages built around each neighborhood you serve. SEO is $50 per page per month, 10-page minimum, so plans start at $500/mo. Full pricing details at /seo.

Website

Most local searches happen on a phone, often from a parking lot, so a slow or confusing site loses the customer before they ever call. We build fast, mobile-first sites with click-to-call and directions built in, priced as one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ depending on scope. Full pricing details at /websites.
