What we do for Macomb County businesses
Google Ads, websites and SEO, planned together so each one feeds the others.
Google Ads management
Campaigns split by service and by area, south and north of Hall Road, with searches cut when they never turn into work and calls tracked to booked jobs. We recommend at least $1,200 a month in ad spend, paid directly to Google.

SEO in Macomb CountyWinning customers in Macomb County
Macomb County had 19,593 business establishments in 2023, and the mix tells you what customers here buy. Health care led with 2,773 locations, ahead of 2,657 retailers, which makes Macomb one of only four Michigan counties where health care outnumbered retail. Add 2,053 construction firms, 583 auto repair shops, 406 dentists and 1,551 restaurants, and nearly every local search returns a full screen of nearby options.
Most residents live south of Hall Road (M-59), in Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, St. Clair Shores, Roseville and Eastpointe. The far north of the county, around Richmond and Armada, is rural. A campaign that treats all of this as one market pays for clicks from people your crew will never drive to. Drive time, job size and how each community searches should set the targeting.
Speed decides a lot in a market this dense. When we tested six Michigan business websites built with WordPress and a page builder, they scored 48 to 62 on Google's mobile speed test. The hand-coded site we built for One Stop Customs in Warren scored 91 to 97 and weighs 0.6 MB. On a phone, that gap is often the difference between a call and a back button.
For each of our Macomb County clients, Blue Heron Electric, Bubbles Auto Spa and One Stop Customs, we built the website and handle Google Ads. Having both in one place lets us connect calls and form requests to the searches behind them.

- You own your accountsYour website, your domain and your Google Ads account stay in your name.
Talk through your Macomb 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.
Which Macomb County businesses have you worked with?
Blue Heron Electric in Sterling Heights, Bubbles Auto Spa in St. Clair Shores and One Stop Customs in Warren. Our work for each covers the website and Google Ads, and each has a published record on our site.
Can a small shop compete with the big names in Warren and Sterling Heights?
Yes, if it stays focused. Larger companies often bid on the whole county. A smaller shop can target the communities it reaches quickly, the services with the best margins and the hours it can answer the phone, and put its budget where it has the best shot.
Do auto businesses need a different approach?
Often. Detailing, tint, wrap and repair customers compare photos and prices before they call, so the site has to show finished work fast on a phone. Macomb County had 583 auto repair shops in 2023, and our auto clients here include a car wash in St. Clair Shores and a wrap, tint and PPF shop in Warren.
Should I target all of Macomb County?
Usually not. A Warren shop may get little profitable work from Richmond, and a Macomb Township contractor may not want jobs in Eastpointe at rush hour. We set targeting by drive time and job value, then adjust from the search terms and calls that come in.
What does it cost, and what do I own?
You get an itemized quote within 24 hours of your free strategy call. Management is a flat monthly fee, never a share of ad spend, with no setup fee. You own your Google Ads account, your website and your domain.
Are you a Google Partner?
Yes, Modern Apex is a verified Google Partner. The badge is a credential, not a shortcut. Results still come down to targeting, landing pages and tracking, which is where we spend our time.
No strings attached. Choose a time, bring your questions and leave with a clearer next move.
