Built by service business owners. For service business owners.
If your business depends on the next customer, we can probably help.
What we are up against
That is the trap that catches most service businesses. A new ad platform launches and they chase it. A competitor starts posting short videos and they panic. An agency sells them on the latest acronym, and a year later they are poorer and no more obvious in their market than when they started.
We believe businesses grow by following a proven system.
The best business doesn't always win. The most obvious one does.
How you will know it is working
Before we ramp up any advertising, tracking is in place: every call, every form, every lead source. So when money goes into ads, we know exactly what is coming back out.
Most agencies spend first and explain later. We track first.
Who you would be working with
Jared and Angela Barker run service businesses of their own. Live Oak Exterior Cleaning is our own exterior cleaning company. The marketing we sell is the marketing we rely on to keep our own businesses busy.
That changes what we recommend. We have sat with the same questions an owner sits with: what happens when the phone goes quiet, whether the money spent last month did anything, whether the person who just called is worth driving out to see. Advice that ignores those questions is easy to give and expensive to follow.
How the work is organized
One entry point, three stages. Tracking goes in first, which is what makes the rest of it worth trusting. Everything we do for a client sits under one of these.
The right customers discover your business.
People who did not know you existed now do, and they are the right kind of people.
Without this, nothing else works. You cannot win the customers who never knew you were an option.

Those customers choose you over the alternatives.
Visibility turns into trust, and trust turns into a booked job, whether that arrives as a call, a form, a text, or a referral.
Discovery without conversion is a leaky bucket. Most agencies stop here. Most service businesses suffer here.

Your business becomes the name people think of first.
When a customer needs you again, or a neighbor asks for a recommendation, your name comes up before anyone else's. You do not have to win the search. You have already won the memory.
This is the difference between hunting for every customer and owning a category. It is where marketing stops being a cost and starts compounding into reputation, repeat business, and referrals.

Most agencies stop after Get Found.We're built for all three.
Has it worked for businesses like mine
No percentages, no case-study language. What the situation was, and what changed.
ElectricalAustin, TX
$4K a month going to Yelp and Angi, no way to tell what any of it produced, and sales reps calling weekly to keep it that way.
We turned it off. The calls coming in now are tracked to the job, so they can see which ones turned into paid work.
Auto RepairDripping Springs, TX
A shop that had been there for years, nearly invisible to the new families moving into Dripping Springs.
Local Services Ads plus video on Meta and YouTube, targeted to the zip codes around the shop. A year later there were more cars through the bays each week than they could staff for.
Exterior Cleaning[ location ]
This one is our own exterior cleaning company.

Built aroundGet Remembered.
This is you if
Referrals and repeat customers keep you busy. You aren't lying awake wondering where next month's work comes from. What you need is for your online presence to stop quietly undercutting a reputation you spent years building.
What it covers
What changes
When someone hears your name and looks you up, the reputation they earned offline is the one they find online.
This is not lead generation. We don't promise the phone rings more, because that isn't what this does.
Local Presence CareWhere most clients start
Where most clients start.
$1,750/mo
$1,750 per month, plus your advertising budget. No long-term contract.
Built aroundWe track before we spend. Then Get Found. Get Hired. Get Remembered.
This is you if
You need customers every week. Your website, your Google presence, your reviews, your local advertising, and your tracking should be one system with one job: the next customer.
What changes
More of the right customers find you, more of them turn into booked work, and you can tell which marketing did it.
Not every business needs a monthly system.
Priced by project
This is you if
Sometimes a business needs a website rebuilt, a Google listing fixed, tracking installed, or a message sharpened, and that is it. Some clients start here and stay here. Others use it as groundwork before a monthly system.
What it covers
What changes
We will tell you straight, after a look at your setup, whether you need it. Not everyone does.
We'll tell you honestly which one fits, even if the answer is none of them.
