Frequently asked questions

Questions about our San Diego digital marketing services

Real answers — no agency fluff.

  • We offer a complete suite of digital marketing services for San Diego businesses: custom web design and development (WordPress and Shopify), local SEO to rank on Google and in the map pack, Meta Ads management (Facebook and Instagram), social media management, email marketing automation, and an AI-powered sales and marketing platform that automates lead follow-up and appointment booking. Everything is handled by our in-house San Diego team.
  • You can absolutely start with just one service. Many of our clients begin with a website redesign or SEO and add additional services as they grow. We'll recommend what makes the most sense for your specific situation — not the largest package. That said, services do work better together: SEO is more effective with a well-converting website, and social media drives more results when combined with email follow-up.
  • Pricing varies based on the service and scope. As a general guide: web design projects range from $2,500–$15,000+. Monthly SEO retainers range from $800–$3,000+/month depending on competition. Meta Ads management starts around $800/month plus ad spend. Social media management ranges from $500–$1,500/month. The best way to get an accurate number is to request a free proposal — we'll review your situation and give you a transparent, itemized quote.
  • Three things set us apart. First, we've been doing this since 2011 — most digital agencies don't survive five years. Second, we're a full-service local shop — one San Diego team handles everything, so nothing falls through the cracks between vendors. Third, we focus on leads and revenue, not vanity metrics — every strategy we build is accountable to the metric that actually matters to your business. We also don't require long-term contracts because we believe we should earn your business every month.
  • It depends on the service. Web design launches in 4–8 weeks and you'll often see immediate improvements in leads once the new site is live. Meta Ads can generate leads within days of launching a campaign. SEO is a longer-term investment — expect meaningful ranking improvements in 3–6 months and significant traffic/lead growth at the 6–12 month mark. We provide monthly reports so you always know exactly where things stand.
  • This is a growing priority for all San Diego businesses. AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend local businesses based on structured content, FAQPage schema, review signals, and entity authority. Our SEO and content services build all of these signals specifically to get your business recommended by AI search tools — not just traditional Google. We also add FAQPage JSON-LD schema to key pages so your answers appear in Google's AI Overviews and as rich results.
  • No long-term contracts required. We believe we should earn your business every month — not lock you into a commitment and coast. Most of our clients stay with us for years because the results keep coming, not because they're contractually obligated. We may ask for a minimum initial period on some services (like SEO, which takes time to show results), but we'll always be upfront about that before you commit to anything.
  • The easiest first step is to get a free website and SEO audit — we'll review your current online presence and send you a report showing exactly what's holding you back. Alternatively, request a free proposal and we'll build a custom strategy for your business. You can also call us directly at (619) 377-1554 — real people answer, no phone trees.
