The next layer of your business

Digital Marketing, SEO & Advertising Management

Connect discovery and campaigns to a useful next step.

Marketing and advertising help service businesses connect the channels buyers use with a clear offer, useful service information and a sales response. Work can span organic SEO and Google Maps, Google PPC and Local Services Ads, Meta Ads, ChatGPT Ads, AI search visibility and campaign strategy. Each scope reflects your team's capacity and the outcomes you can assess.

Convert at the digital surface.

Marketing & Advertising works in the digital surface. Strata Modus raises the information floor, from the physical layer to the digital surface.

  1. Convert
    The digital surface

    Where buyers search, ask AI and decide who to call: your website, Google, AI answers and campaigns.

A connected approach

The work behind
a better business.

Search, local profiles and advertising can become separate activities that compete for the same budget and attention. Without a shared offer, useful landing experience and response owner, a campaign can produce activity without showing whether the inquiries fit the services the business is ready to deliver.

We help prioritize organic search and local discovery alongside paid advertising, then connect each selected channel to a budget, accurate service page and accountable follow-up. Campaign and inquiry signals, paired with sales feedback, guide what to maintain or change. Platform availability and media spend are scoped before campaign launch.

Turning Google from a phonebook to your funnel.

We start where customers look, compare and decide. Your digital presence should help people find you for the services you want to sell. Your website should make your expertise clear, show the work behind your reputation and give the right customer a reason to contact you.

We improve visibility through SEO for search engines and AI search optimization, often called AIO or GEO, for tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini. Service information, relevant project examples and clear page structure help communicate what your business does and who it serves.

The strategy begins before someone reaches your website. We look at customer demand and competing offers, then shape your pages and campaigns around the opportunities you want to pursue.

Upstream. Downstream. Connected.

From first search
to repeat business.

Full-service marketing needs a business ready to win the work. We connect visibility and conversion with response, sales, closing and follow-up, so your team can carry the opportunity through.

Carry the opportunity through.

An inquiry needs a useful response. A proposal needs follow-up. Approved work needs a clear handoff to the people responsible for delivering it. CRM implementation and sales operations give each opportunity a clear stage, owner and next action, from the first inquiry through the sale and follow-up.

After delivery, we help you stay in touch, collect feedback and create opportunities for repeat work. Sales outcomes and customer experience inform the next campaign and the next improvement. The proposal defines the processes and support you want us to own.

100-Day +30% Qualified Opportunity Guarantee

30% more qualified opportunities in 100 days.

Across the channels we manage, without increasing your agreed advertising budget. The 100 live campaign days start at the agreed launch, after setup—not at signing.

Available only with Discovery & Intake, Growth and Competitive Growth.

Eligibility, launch and measurement details

Eligibility: Available only with Discovery & Intake, Growth and Competitive Growth.

Qualification: We agree your service area, offered services, managed channels, baseline and target in writing before launch. A qualified opportunity is a real, contactable prospect requesting an offered service in that area.

Activation: The 100-day clock starts on the agreed campaign go-live date, after access, tracking and the measurement schedule are confirmed. We target the first 20 days for setup and agree any revised launch date in writing.

Measurement: Compare qualified opportunities in live campaign days 71–100 with the agreed prior 30-day baseline for the same managed channels. The target is at least 1.30 times that baseline, rounded up to a whole opportunity. A zero or near-zero baseline uses a meaningful written minimum that also meets that formula.

Remedy: If the agreed target is missed, covered acquisition and optimization work continues without its allocated service fee until the target is reached in a subsequent rolling 30-live-day window under the same counting rules and spend cap. Other agreed services retain their separately allocated fees; advertising spend and third-party costs remain separate. The signed schedule identifies the covered work and fee allocation before launch.

The measurement window and any covered no-fee remedy survive the initial contract end when needed. This does not renew paid services or require a new paid term. Any continued paid work needs a separate written agreement.

Costs: Advertising spend and third-party costs remain separate. Covered-channel advertising spend in the final 30-day measurement window must be no higher than in the baseline window. New programs use the starter budget agreed with their minimum opportunity floor. Extra advertising spend cannot be used to claim the original target was met.

A real service request
The prospect needs a service you actively offer, in your agreed service area, and provides a working phone number or email. Spam, solicitations, job applications and unrelated requests do not count.
One prospect, one opportunity
Calls, texts, photo threads and forms from the same prospect count once across managed channels within a rolling 30-day window. A follow-up on an existing open request is not a new opportunity.
The same channels and budget
Only named channels we manage are included, with the same qualification and attribution rules in both periods. Discovery covers its agreed search and intake scope; paid campaign management starts with Growth. Your company keeps ownership of its accounts.
Opportunities, not closed sales
A genuine qualified request still counts if it does not become a booked estimate or sale. Your response, availability and pricing affect that next step. We report those outcomes separately.

Market Ownership and Executive are excluded: these more complex programs fund and create long-term assets your company keeps. Revenue-share and standalone services have separately agreed terms.
