We roll up our sleeves and get to work, building, writing, designing, shooting, and scheduling. You get live previews and final sign-off before anything goes live.

Step 4: Reporting, optimization, and monthly reviews

You’ll see real numbers, not marketing fluff. Monthly (or more frequent) check-ins reveal what’s winning, and what’s not. Transparency is baked into every campaign.

Case Studies & Measurable Results (Salem, VA Clients)

Case Study 1: Local service business, SEO + GMB lift (traffic, calls)

A Salem HVAC company came to us stuck on page 5 of Google, aka digital purgatory. Within six months: 3x more organic visits, #1 in the map pack, and inbound calls doubled. The owner? Still grins when he runs into us at Mac & Bob’s.

Case Study 2: E-commerce retailer, PPC ROAS improvement

A home décor shop in Salem couldn’t crack the code for online sales. After a full paid ads overhaul, they saw a 2.8x ROAS and orders flowing in from across Virginia. The secret sauce? Intent-driven, local-focused campaigns with dynamic shopping ads.

Case Study 3: Healthcare/Professional, appointment growth & reputation

A dental practice losing ground to new chains needed to win back trust (and Google reviews). We launched local SEO, built a review campaign, and appointment bookings jumped by 42% in one quarter.

Each case study: challenge, solution, metrics & testimonial

These aren’t just numbers, we’ll happily connect you with any client (we ask them first.) to chat about their before-and-after. Real stories, real businesses, right here in Salem.
