The growth engine · Canton, GA

Your competitors
are not better.
They are just easier
to find.

You already do the work better than the shop down the road. But the customer searching right now never sees that, because they find whoever shows up first and makes it easiest to call. We build the site that closes them, then put you in front of them. Every dollar traced, nothing guessed.

The growth engine
for local business.

We build the site everything runs on, drive real buyers to it, and show you exactly what came back.

Sound familiar

You already know something is off.

You just cannot point at the thing causing it, because nothing is visibly broken. The phone still rings, just less than it should.

Most owners stop at the second one.

Find out which piece is costing you
1

The phone is quieter than it was this time last year and nobody can tell you why.

2

You are flat out in season and genuinely worried in the off season.

3

Almost every new customer is a referral. Strangers never find you on their own.

4

You pay a directory for leads, and it sells the same lead to three competitors.

5

Somebody built your website a few years ago and you have not heard from them since.

6

You could not say which half of your marketing is working, so you keep paying for all of it.

If two or more of those are true, it is not an effort problem.

It is a sequence problem. The pieces were built in the wrong order, so each one is quietly taxing the next. That is fixable, and it is the whole of what we do.

Find out which piece is costing you
The engine

The growth engine, built in order.

Most agencies sell you one piece and leave you to guess at the rest. The engine is the whole thing, assembled in the order that actually works: the site gets built first because it is where every channel cashes out and it carries the technical SEO anyway, then visibility so people can find you without paying for the privilege, then paid traffic once there is somewhere worth sending it, then the content that keeps the whole thing fed.

How it works

One machine. Every part feeding the same place.

Not six services running beside each other. One engine, run in order: fix the foundation, earn the visibility, then buy the traffic. Doing it the other way round is how budgets disappear.

01 of 06

The site is the foundation

Everything else delivers here. It also carries the technical SEO, the speed and the tracking, so fixing the foundation is already half of getting found.

Most businesses have three of these six running, and no idea which one is carrying the other two.

Tracked revenue on $26K in ad spend

They had the product and they had the reputation. What they did not have was a single tracked lead. No paid presence, no call logging, no pipeline, and revenue that moved with the season instead of with a system. We built the system: high-intent search, Performance Max for reach and retargeting, every call and text logged, and monthly optimization against real numbers. Twenty months later, $2,340,409 traced back to the dollar.

A seasonal brand with one short window to make the year. We ran paid media through the peak while building the owned channel underneath it. Nearly nine hundred thousand dollars across 2,198 orders in 110 days, with average order value holding above $400 every single month, so none of the growth came from discounting. By September, email alone was producing better than a quarter of all revenue.

New · The frontier

AI is the new front page.

Your customers are already asking ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity who to hire. If AI has never heard of you, you're invisible, and the competitor it names gets the call.

  • A live test of whether AI recommends you
  • Structured data so AI understands your business
  • Crawler access for GPTBot, Google-Extended, Perplexity
  • Content built to be quoted and cited
  • Monitoring that keeps your lead as AI shifts
"Hey ChatGPT, who's the best in my area?"

Right now, for most local businesses, the answer names a competitor, or nobody at all. Every one of those is a ready-to-buy customer handed to whoever AI happens to know. Being early here is a lead that compounds every month.

How we operate

Most agencies start at stage six.

They take the brief, build the campaign and launch it, because that is the part you can see and the part they can bill. The five stages before it are where the money is actually decided. Here is all seven, in the order we run them every single time, and what you get out of each one. Six weeks from first conversation to launch, then the part that never stops.

Where most agencies startNever stops

01

Discovery

Before we open a single tool we learn the business. What you sell, who actually buys it, what one customer is worth to you, what you have already tried and what happened. Most of what decides whether a campaign works is settled here.

You getA written picture of your business that we both agree on
Week 1
02

Audit

We measure what you have rather than assume it. Speed, conversion paths, tracking, your Google Business Profile, rankings, AI visibility, and what the competitors ranking above you are doing. Anything we cannot measure, we tell you we could not measure.

You getA scored read on what is broken, yours to keep either way
Week 1
03

Strategy

The plan gets written from what the audit found, not from a template. Which channel goes first and why, what we are targeting, what a win looks like in numbers, and how you will be able to tell.

You getThe plan, in writing, with the numbers that define a win
Week 2
04

Onboarding

Access, accounts and tracking. The least glamorous stage and the one that decides whether anything can be measured later. Pixels, conversion events, call tracking, and a clean line from click to booked job.

You getA clean line from click to booked job, finally measurable
Week 2
05

Build the engine

The site first, because every other channel ends there. Then the layers on top in the order that works, so nothing is driving traffic to something that leaks.

You getThe site and the layers above it, built in the right order
Week 3 to 5
06

Launch

Traffic starts. This is the beginning of data collection, not the finish line, and we say so plainly because the first weeks are about learning what your market responds to.

You getTraffic running, and the first real data about your market
Week 6
07

Optimize

Now it compounds. Weekly tuning against real numbers: what converted, what cost too much, which audience and which message. Every change is a response to evidence.

You getA monthly report you can actually check our work against
Ongoing
Do not rush the results. The first thirty to sixty days after launch are mostly collection. A decision made on a hundred clicks is a guess wearing a spreadsheet, and acting on it early is how a budget gets spent proving something that was never true. We would rather tell you we are still gathering than hand you a confident answer we cannot stand behind. Once the volume is there, the tuning is relentless and the compounding is real.
Straight answers

Who this works for.

We would rather tell you now than take your money and find out later.

This is for you if

  • ✓You are a local business owner who already has customers and wants more of them, predictably.
  • ✓You have spent money on marketing before and could not tell what it actually returned.
  • ✓Your phone should be ringing more than it does, and you suspect your website is part of why it is not.
  • ✓You want one team accountable for the whole thing, not four vendors blaming each other.

This is not for you if

  • ✗You want the cheapest option. We are not it, and the cheapest option is usually why you are here.
  • ✗You want leads next week with no foundation underneath. Traffic to a leaking site is just a faster way to lose money.
  • ✗You are looking for someone to post on social and call it marketing.
You own your website and your data. The site, the domain, the tracking, the creative and your Meta ad account. No long contracts, no holding your assets hostage, and every number we report traces back to something you can verify yourself. If we are not earning our keep, you should be able to leave with everything you need to keep going.
Why us

The last two agencies were not lazy. They were working out of order.

Somebody sold you ads before the site could convert them. Somebody else sold you posts before anyone could find you. Each one worked hard on the piece they happened to sell, and nobody owned the sequence. That is the whole problem, and it is the only thing we do differently. We will not start until we know which layer is actually costing you, and we fix that one first, even when it is not the thing you called about.

  • Six month minimum, and most clients stay far longer
  • Plain English reporting, zero jargon
  • A real team that picks up the phone

Before you hire anyone

How we work, in plain terms.

The ones people search before they hire anyone, and the ones we get on almost every first call. Answered honestly, including the parts that are not flattering to agencies.

Ask us yours on a free call
What does Open Heart Media actually do?

We build the website a local business runs on, then drive qualified people to it and show you exactly what came back. Six disciplines working as one engine: the site itself, paid ads, SEO, AI search, social and content, and brand and creative work. Most clients start with the site, because every other channel delivers there and pointing traffic at a site that does not convert only means paying more for the same result.

Who actually works on my account?

A small named team rather than a rotating pool. You get a strategist who owns the account and the specialists who do the work, and you speak to the people making the decisions instead of an account manager relaying messages between you and someone you never meet. We are based in Canton, Georgia, so if you are local you can sit across a table from us.

Do you lock clients into a long contract?

Six months minimum, and that is deliberate rather than a trap. Paid campaigns need roughly ninety days of real data before optimization is based on evidence instead of guesswork, and SEO and AI search barely move inside a single quarter. A thirty day agreement would push us toward whatever looks good fastest rather than what compounds. In practice the minimum rarely comes up: most of our clients are still with us long past it, and a few have been here since we started in 2022.

What happens in the first six weeks?

Week one is discovery and a full audit of what you already have. Week two is strategy built on what that audit actually found. Weeks three and four are onboarding and building the engine. Weeks five and six take it to launch, and optimization runs from there. Nothing gets built before there is data to build it on, which is why the audit comes first and why we will not hand you a strategy on the first call.

What does working with Open Heart Media cost?

It depends which parts of the engine you need, and the audit is what produces the number. A site build is a defined one-time scope. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer kept separate from your ad spend, so you always know which dollars bought media and which bought work. You get the figure in writing before committing to anything, and if the math does not work for your business we will tell you that instead of selling you a retainer.

How do you report on what you are doing?

Monthly reports, quarterly reviews and standing check-ins. Each one shows spend by channel, submissions and conversions, what we changed and why we changed it. There are real examples published on this page, exactly as the clients received them. Every number traces back to a source, so you are never asked to take our word for a result.

Do I own my website, ad accounts and data?

Your website is yours outright. The site, the domain, the content, the tracking and the data all transfer to you, and you should insist on that with any agency you talk to. Ad accounts depend on the platform. Your Meta ad account is built under your business and stays yours, with its full spend history and pixel data. Google Ads runs through our managed account, so if we part ways we hand over everything you need to keep running: conversion tracking, audiences, creative, keyword and negative lists, and your full performance history. We will also explain how any of it works for as long as it takes to make sense. The only thing we hold back is the proprietary process we have spent years building.

How long before I see results?

Paid ads produce leads in the first two to four weeks, because you are buying attention rather than earning it. SEO and AI search take three to six months to move meaningfully, longer in competitive metros. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either buying ads and calling it SEO, or ranking you for phrases nobody actually searches.

What kind of businesses do you work best with?

Local and regional businesses where a single customer is worth enough that a handful of extra jobs a month changes the year. Home services and trades, healthcare and private practices, and e-commerce brands with a real product. We have run this for a flooring company in Cherokee County, a private home care provider and an ecommerce brand, and the full case studies for all three are on this page.

What makes you different from the last agency I hired?

We measure, and we show you the measurement whether it flatters us or not. Most of what goes wrong with agencies is not laziness, it is that nobody set up tracking at the start, so a year later nobody can say which spend produced which customer. We install that first, before the campaigns. It also means we have nowhere to hide, which is exactly the point.
