Digital Marketing That Works for Local Businesses
After years in the digital marketing world, I decided to launch my own agency to work directly with the businesses that make our community what it is, home services companies, local retailers, and the hardworking entrepreneurs who keep our neighborhoods running.
Our Values
What I do
I specialize in the essentials that drive real results. Building websites that convert, optimizing for search engines so you get found, and creating content that connects with your customers.
What excites me most? Leveraging AI and emerging technology to deliver enterprise-level marketing at prices that make sense for local businesses. I'm a tech enthusiast at heart, and I love using the latest tools to give small businesses the competitive edge they deserve.
My specialties include
Show up when customers search "(your service) near me." I'll get you ranking in the Google Map Pack results so Spartanburg homeowners call you instead of your competitors.

Turn website visitors into paying customers. I'll build you a fast, professional site that looks great on mobile and makes it easy for customers to call or book services.

Stay top-of-mind and get repeat business. I'll send emails that remind past customers it's time for maintenance, bringing them back for seasonal tune-ups and referrals.

Stop losing leads before they call. I'll find where customers are dropping off on your site and fix it so more visitors pick up the phone and become paying jobs.
Know exactly what's working and what's wasting money. See how many calls you're getting from Google, which keywords drive leads, and your actual marketing ROI every month.
Rank for more searches and establish authority. I'll create blog posts that answer customer questions, rank on Google, and position you as the trusted local expert customers want to hire.
Who we serve
Our expertise lies in serving local home service businesses in Upstate South Carolina. Whether you’re an HVAC company looking to boost seasonal leads, a roofing contractor aiming to increase visibility, or a cleaning service seeking consistent customer acquisition, Upstate Edge Marketing understands your market and speaks your language.
Why Work With Me
I'm not interested in cookie-cutter packages or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every business has its own story and challenges, and I take the time to understand yours.
