Where Oakland County marketing leaks
The customer will drive ten minutes. Your site has to win the comparison.
In Oakland County the business in the next town is always one search away, so a site that only says Metro Detroit loses to the one that names the town.
- 01
One page for the whole county
Every town you serve squeezed onto one services page, so none of them can rank on its own.
- 02
A profile that stops at one city
Service areas left blank, so Google doesn’t match you to Royal Oak or Rochester Hills searches.
- 03
Three vendors
The SEO, the ads and the website come from different people who never compare notes.
- 04
No tracking by town
Nobody can say whether the Troy calls or the Novi calls are paying for the ads.
Sound familiar?
You’ve lost a job to a business two exits up I-75.
- Stuck on Big Beaver
“They’re in Troy and we’re in Troy. Why do they come up first?”
- The agency’s report
“Traffic up across Metro Detroit. Nobody buys from us across Metro Detroit.”
- A customer from Royal Oak
“Didn’t know you came out to Royal Oak. Your site only says Birmingham.”
- Later
“Maybe Oakland County’s just too crowded.”
It’s crowded. A page for each town you serve is how you get picked anyway.
Fine Strokes, our own studio on Woodward, runs 45 pages across 9 Oakland County towns: eyeliner, lip blush, microblading, PMU training and SMP for Birmingham, Troy, Royal Oak, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington, Novi, Southfield, Rochester Hills and Ferndale. One page for each service in each town, instead of one page for all of them.
You can’t buy your way to the top of local search. You earn it, or you fake it and lose it.
How it works
Five steps, one person, in this order.
- 01
The 30-minute call
We look at your website, your local search and your tracking, and you leave with a ranked fix list whether or not you hire us.
- 02
Map the towns you serve
We list the Oakland County towns you actually work in and decide which ones earn a page of their own.
- 03
Phase one: the site and tracking
Live in 3 to 4 weeks, so the site is working and every call and form is counted inside the first month.
- 04
Phases two and three: search and ads
Local search and ads built on top of a site that converts, all of it done within six months of the start.
- 05
Handed over in your name
Every account, login and playbook documented and yours. Keep us for local SEO after launch, or run it yourself.
Proof, before the pitch
Real evidence should survive an incognito window.

What’s included
One foundation for an Oakland County business.
The Foundation build runs $12,000 to $17,500. Local SEO after launch is $800 a month and up, and hosting and support $350 a month and up, both optional.
A site built to convert
Fast on a phone, clear about what you do and where, and one obvious next step on every page.
A page for each town you serve
Birmingham, Troy, Novi or wherever you actually work, each with a page written for that search.
A finished Google profile
The right primary category, service areas across the county, and citations that agree with each other.
Ads with a page to land on
Google and Meta campaigns pointed at pages built for them, with tracking in place before the first dollar.
One set of numbers
Calls and forms tracked across the site, search and ads, so you can see which town and which piece bring in work.
In your name from day one
The domain, hosting, ad accounts, analytics and every login stay yours.
The rules
Three rules we keep for every Oakland County build.
They cost us easy work, and we keep them anyway.
- Order
The site before the ads
Ads pointed at a site that can’t convert burn the budget, so the site gets fixed first.
- Towns
No page for a town you don’t serve
Pages for towns you never drive to are the ones Google throws out.
- Honesty
No rebuild you don’t need
About 1 in 5 of the sites we review end with us telling the owner not to rebuild.
The Oakland County receipt
45 pages across 9 Oakland County towns.
Fine Strokes, our own studio on Woodward in Birmingham, runs a page for each of five services in each of nine Oakland County towns. AGP Construction’s site, which we built, has city pages for five Oakland County towns of its own. Both are countable on their live sitemaps today.
- 9 Oakland County towns with Fine Strokes pages
- 5 services in each town, 45 pages in all
- 5 Oakland County towns on AGP’s site
- Office at 33277 Woodward Ave in Birmingham
No traffic claims on this card: every number can be checked on a live site.

Common questions
About hiring a marketing agency in Oakland County.
What does an Oakland County marketing agency cost?+
Our Foundation build runs $12,000 to $17,500, one time. Local SEO after launch is $800 a month and up, and hosting and support $350 a month and up, both optional. You get a fixed number on the call.
Which Oakland County towns do you serve?+
All of Oakland County. Our office is at 33277 Woodward Ave in Birmingham, and the sites we’ve built run town pages for Birmingham, Troy, Royal Oak, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Novi, Southfield, Rochester Hills, Ferndale and Madison Heights.
How long until it’s working?+
Phase one goes live in 3 to 4 weeks, so the site is working inside the first month. Phase two runs about another month and a half, and phase three is the rest, up to six months start to finish.
Can I start with just one piece?+
You can. Start with the website, local SEO or ads, and add the rest when it makes sense. The audit tells you which one is leaking most.
Do I need a page for every town?+
Only for the towns you actually serve and where people search for what you do. Pages for towns you never drive to are the ones Google throws out.
Is this right for a business that’s just getting started?+
Not yet. If you’re just getting started and capital is tight, or you want something cheap and quick, we’re not the right call, and there are people who serve those needs well. What we build is for owners who already treat marketing as a budgeted line item and want it spent where it compounds.
What we turn down
We’ll tell you to fix the site before we sell you ads.
- No ads pointed at a site that can’t convert
- No campaign without conversion tracking
- No town pages for places you don’t serve
- No recommendation based on the easiest service to sell
The ownership promise
No hostage accounts. No mystery handoff.
Your ad accounts, website, analytics, data and documentation stay in your name. If we stop working together, nothing gets held over you.
