Winning customers in Iosco County

Iosco County had 25,361 residents in 2024 and 623 business establishments in 2023, and its population sits in two clusters on Lake Huron. Oscoda Township (7,191) and Au Sable Township (2,028) meet at the mouth of the Au Sable River in the north, while East Tawas (2,675), Tawas City (1,837) and Tawas Township (1,737) sit on Tawas Bay in the south. Plainfield Township (3,361) is the largest inland community.

That split matters for advertising. A business in Tawas City serving Oscoda customers is covering a real stretch of US 23, and a radius drawn from one town can miss the other. Separate targeting for the north and south ends, and a website that names both, keeps you visible in each without paying for empty acres of the Huron National Forest.

Construction leads local trades with 86 firms in 2023, and retail (110) and health care (72) are the other large categories. The median household income was $52,734, so customers here look for fair prices and quick answers. A complete Google Business Profile, reviews from both ends of the county and a site that loads fast on a phone will do more for most Iosco businesses than a large ad budget.

See how pricing works

Talk through your Iosco County market with Nick.

Bring your website, the services you want more of and the communities you want to reach. You will leave with three clear priorities.

We are in East Tawas. Can we show up for searches in Oscoda?

It is possible, though distance works against you in Google's map results. A service page about your Oscoda work, reviews from Oscoda customers and, if it pays, a small ad campaign aimed there are the usual tools.

Is Google Ads worth it in a county of 25,361 people?

For some businesses. Search volume comes first, so we check it for your services before talking budget. Our recommended floor is $1,200 a month in ad spend, paid to Google. When a market cannot use that productively, your profile and website are the better investment.

Who owns the website if we stop working with you?

You do. Sites we build are hand coded and belong to you along with the domain, so you can take them anywhere. The same goes for your Google Ads account, which stays in your name.

How do we start?
