Straight answers.
Everything small business owners usually ask us before getting started — how we report, what we run, and how long results take.
Do you work with businesses outside the San Diego area?
+
We specialize in helping San Diego-area small businesses, but we can also work with you remotely if you're elsewhere in California. Strategy calls, check-ins, and reports all happen over phone, video, and email — so you get the same dedicated service no matter where you're located.
How do I know what's actually happening each week?
+
We track your rankings and channel performance every week and put it into a plain-English report you actually get sent. No logging into confusing dashboards — just a clear summary of what moved, what we changed, and what's next.
What services do you offer?
+
Social media management, SEO (getting you found on Google), paid ads on Meta, TikTok, and Google, professional video editing, and Google Business Profile help. Most small businesses start with one or two of these and add more later.
Do I have to buy everything at once?
+
No. You pick the plan and services that fit your budget and goals, and your team works off that plan. If you only want SEO and Google Business, that's all we run. Nothing is forced into one big package.
How long before I see results?
+
Paid ads usually show signal in the first 2 to 4 weeks. Social growth builds over 60 to 90 days. SEO takes longer — usually months 3 to 6 — because search engines need time to trust your site.
Do you require long-term contracts?
+
No long lock-ins. After an initial ramp-up period we work month to month, because you should stay because of results, not paperwork.
