These are local business marketing case studies with the receipts attached: every file is a real business with real figures behind it. Start with the venue I owned and ran, because I can show you all of its numbers.
A case study counts when the numbers are real and the person telling it was in the building. I write these in first person, and I'm specific about what moved and what stalled. The bad months are written down beside the good ones, because that's the part an owner can use.
That rule costs me case studies. A slow quarter, or a rebuild that missed its date, is easy to edit out of a story, and leaving it in means fewer files make it onto this page.
Event Venue
An owner-operated Baltimore event venue, taken from a raw former vape shop to a booked-out calendar in under a year, on a lean budget and mostly organic search.
Studio 87 is the Baltimore event venue I owned and operated. Every figure here belongs to that venue, never to a client account.

A Brooklyn collision shop with its services stacked onto a handful of pages. I made sure every job it sells has its own page, then kept the SEO going until the right people started arriving.
Search and review figures from the shop's own Google properties, pulled July and August 2026.

A Baltimore appliance repair company I moved off Squarespace and gave a page for every appliance and area it covers, then dug out of sixteen months of its own pages competing against each other on Google.
Search figures from that company's own Search Console, 400 days ending August 2026.

The scoreboard doesn't change from one business to the next. When I say a marketing engine worked, these six lines are what I point at, and they're the same six I build toward for a nail studio or a body shop.
Owners get sold on impressions and follower counts because those numbers are easy to grow and impossible to spend. A scoreboard that starts at visibility and ends at cost per customer is harder to fake.
If you're comparing agencies, read every case study you're handed with three questions ready. Which window do the numbers cover, and does the page say so? Is the starting point shown, or does the count begin at the best month? And can you tell which business it covers, and what that business sells?
Most of these I wrote from scratch, in code. One runs on Squarespace, because that fit what the owner could spend and how they wanted to change things without calling me first. What they have in common is simpler than it looks: they load fast, they say what the business does before you scroll, and getting somebody on the phone takes one tap.
An appliance repair shop, a body shop, a therapy practice, a venue, a nail studio, a tutor. These businesses have almost nothing in common. The pattern underneath them does: a fast website you can find on Google, one page per thing you sell, and a lead path short enough that a distracted person on a phone still finishes it.
Here's why the website leads in every one of these files. Ads, search results, and a reel all do the same job. They send a stranger somewhere. If that somewhere loads slowly, hides the phone number, or reads like it was written for a different business, then whatever you spent to get them there is wasted.
You can see the rest of the work, including the before and after of each migration, on our Baltimore web design page.
The engine that filled a venue calendar is the same one I run every week for local businesses across Baltimore and the DMV: local SEO so the right people find you, Google Ads to buy the searches worth buying, content that makes a stranger feel like they already know you, and the automations that catch a lead at 2 a.m. so it's still there in the morning.
What changes between clients is the order and the emphasis. A venue lives or dies on search and reviews, while a body shop needs the phone answered and the estimate form working, and a therapy practice needs a website that feels safe before it needs a keyword.
The breakdowns behind results like these, including the math that talks owners out of spending, live in The Marketing Department. To see one worked all the way through, start with the Studio 87 business plan and read the tables, then see how we grew search clicks for a Brooklyn auto body shop with the same playbook on somebody else's business.
