SHADE — Performance Marketing & Growth

What We Do

One system. Five disciplines.

We don't sell tactics in isolation. Every discipline below feeds the same pipeline and reports to the same numbers.

01 / 05

SEO

Organic visibility built on technical foundations and content that ranks — and converts.

Technical audits covering crawl, speed, and schema
Content mapped to commercial search intent
Link building through outreach, never marketplaces

How We Work

A fixed process, applied to your numbers.

Same four stages for every client. What changes is the strategy underneath — built from your data, not a template.

01

Discover

We audit your current channels, market position, and past performance data before recommending a single tactic.

02

Strategize

A channel plan and forecast built around your CAC targets and sales capacity, not a generic playbook.

03

Launch

Campaigns, pages, and tracking go live on a fixed timeline, with QA on every conversion path.

04

Optimize

Weekly optimization cycles based on live data, with a monthly strategy review tied to pipeline.

Why SHADE

We think like operators, not marketers.

SHADE was built for founders who are done paying for reach they can't tie back to revenue. Everything we do is built around one plain idea: marketing is a business function, and it should be run like one.

DATA

Decisions trace back to a number

If we can't measure it, we don't recommend it. Every recommendation ties to a metric that maps to revenue, not just traffic.

TRANSPARENCY

You see what we see

The same dashboards, the same raw numbers, no black-box reporting and no vanity metrics dressed up as wins.

ROI

Accountable to pipeline, not impressions

Budget follows what's working and moves away from what isn't. We'd rather cut our own retainer than keep funding a channel that's stopped performing.

GROWTH

Built to compound, not to spike

SEO equity, ad account history, and creative that gets sharper over time. We optimize for the trend line, not a single good month.

Who We Work With

Built for service-based businesses ready to scale.

Professional Services

Health & Wellness

Home & Field Services

Local & Multi-Location Brands

We work best with service-based businesses where a qualified lead has real value — not high-volume, low-margin retail. On your strategy call, we'll tell you plainly whether that's a fit.

FAQ

Common questions.

How quickly will we see results?

SEO typically shows measurable movement within 60–90 days. Paid channels can start generating qualified leads within the first two weeks of launch, since they don't depend on search algorithms to catch up.

What's the minimum contract length?

We start with a 90-day initial engagement — enough time to test, learn, and optimize before either of us commits to a longer-term plan. After that, we move to month-to-month.

Do you require a minimum ad budget?

We work best with businesses ready to invest meaningfully in paid media each month, separate from our fee. We'll confirm whether your budget is a fit during your strategy call, before any commitment.

Which industries do you specialize in?

We work primarily with professional services, health and wellness, home and field services, and local or multi-location brands — generally, service-based businesses where a lead is worth pursuing. If you're outside that range, tell us on the call — we'll be upfront about fit.

What platforms and tools do you use?

Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Meta Ads, and most major CRMs. If your stack is different, we'll flag any gaps during onboarding.
