Revenue & Traction
The agency expects to generate approximately $200,000 annually from digital services, with clients typically paying around $7,500 per year.
Founding Story
The business started as a side hustle by the founder and her husband, who recognized the potential of combining physical and digital marketing.
Business Playbook
Key strategies include using sandwich boards to attract clients, upselling digital services, and automating reputation management processes.
Why this works now
Google's 2023 algorithm update favors local search results, benefiting businesses like Big Sky Automation Services that combine physical and digital marketing. The founder initially attracted clients through targeted promotions on local Facebook groups, effectively utilizing community engagement to drive sales. This strategy, however, relies on maintaining high visibility in an evolving digital landscape, where algorithm changes can impact traffic and client acquisition costs.
Additional Information
The agency has successfully closed around 20 to 30 digital clients, primarily from referrals and leveraging their existing sandwich board business.
