Marketing Company San Diego is an independent referral service for business owners in San Diego and San Diego County who are looking for help with marketing. It is not a marketing agency. When you send the form on this site, your details go to an independent marketing agency that prepares any proposal and does any work. Any agreement, if there is one, is between you and that agency.
What this site does
- Explains, in plain language, what SEO, local search, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, social media, branding and web design involve.
- Sets out the rules Google and the FTC publish for search, local listings, reviews, endorsements and email, so you can judge any agency’s advice.
- Passes your request to an independent marketing agency that works with San Diego businesses, which can contact you by phone or email.
- Takes requests from businesses across the City of San Diego and San Diego County, North County included.
What this site does not do
- It does not run campaigns, build websites, write content or manage anyone’s accounts.
- It gives no prices for custom work. Any such price comes from the agency, in its proposal. The one exception is the agency’s two monthly SEO plans on the pricing page, bought directly at its checkout.
- It makes no promise about rankings, traffic, leads or any other result. Google itself says no one can promise the top ranking.
- It does not rank, rate or review agencies.
- It has no office and no street address, and nobody from this site will visit you.
Why it exists
Searching for a marketing company in San Diego turns up lists, directories and agency homepages that talk about awards and results. Very little of it helps an owner decide what they need. The pages on this site try to fill that gap: what each kind of work is, what a good proposal includes, which questions to ask, and which warning signs to walk away from.
