Figures come from each client's published record, which states its reporting period and how results were measured. Past results belong to that client and are not a forecast.

What we do for Wayne County businesses

Google Ads, websites and SEO, planned together so each one feeds the others.

Google Ads management

Pick the communities you can serve profitably, split each service into its own campaign, add negative keywords from real search terms and track calls to booked jobs, not clicks.

Web design

A hand-coded site that loads fast on a phone, shows real local work and gives each core service and target community, from Livonia to Dearborn, its own page.

SEO

Community pages, a complete Google Business Profile and steady reviews, aimed at the parts of Wayne County you serve rather than the whole county at once.

Winning customers in Wayne County

Wayne County is Michigan's most populous county, and it is crowded with competitors. It had 33,699 business establishments in 2023, including 4,334 health care providers, 2,201 construction firms, 1,108 auto repair shops and 541 legal practices. For almost any service, a customer here can choose from dozens of local options.

It is also many markets. Detroit had 645,705 residents in 2024, Dearborn 106,377, Canton Township 99,793, Livonia 93,113 and Westland 82,745, and the Downriver communities form their own area, home to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Romulus. A single county-wide median household income ($57,418 in 2023) says little about any one community, so set price and message community by community.

Population fell from 1,793,896 in 2020 to 1,771,063 in 2024, so growth comes from winning share, and focus is how you win it. We see that in our own Wayne County work. We built the website and have managed Google Ads for Daskal Landscaping in Northville, whose published record shows 230 tracked conversions from Google Ads, and we built the website for Vasso Law in Canton.

What working with us looks like

Clear terms before any work starts. Google Ads management has a six-month initial commitment, then runs month to month with 30 days written notice.

  • No setup fee for Google AdsA flat monthly management fee, never a percentage of ad spend.
  • You own your accountsYour website, your domain and your Google Ads account stay in your name.

Talk through your Wayne 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.

Do you have clients in Wayne County?

Yes. We built the website and have managed Google Ads for Daskal Landscaping in Northville, and we built the website for Vasso Law in Canton. Both records are on our results pages.

Should we advertise across all of Wayne County?

Rarely. The county is too large and varied for one campaign to work well. Start with the communities closest to you and the services with the best margins, then expand when call tracking shows which areas produce jobs.

How do we keep ad costs under control in Detroit searches?

Review search terms often in the early weeks, add negatives for unrelated searches, separate services so each has its own budget, and only bid where calls turn into booked jobs. Broad settings waste the most money in big markets.

Do you work with law firms and health practices?

Yes. Vasso Law in Canton is one of our website clients. Legal and health care websites need careful claims and clear contact paths, and we build them with that in mind.

What are your terms?

A free 30-minute strategy call, an itemized quote within 24 hours, a flat monthly management fee, no setup fee and a $1,200 a month recommended minimum ad budget paid directly to Google. You own the ad account, your site and your domain.
