The person you'd be hiring

I'm Lee Rouse

I run Savannah Basin Digital from Augusta, Georgia. There's no team behind the name, no sales department, no account managers. If you hire this agency, you're hiring me.

Why marketing, and why the trades

Home-service businesses live and die by the phone. Most of the owners I've met are genuinely good at the work: the stumps get ground and the reviews say five stars. What they don't have is time to figure out why the company one town over shows up first on Google.

That part is learnable, and more importantly it's measurable. I wrote my own audit software that maps a business's rankings street by street, reads its competitors' reviews, and finds errors in its listings across the web, things like a misspelled business name on a directory site or an old phone number that never got updated. When I bring you an audit, it's data pulled for your business in your market, not a template with your name dropped in.

The honest part

I'm not going to pretend Savannah Basin has a wall of case studies. It's a new shop. What I can offer instead is proof as we go: a free audit before you spend anything, a snapshot of your numbers on day one, and a report every month that compares against it. If those numbers go flat, you'll see it the same time I do. I'd rather lose a client honestly than keep one with a confusing report.

A small list, on purpose

I keep the client list small because this isn't my only job. Marketing work fits nights and weekends in a way a second trade job never could, which is a big part of why I picked it. You'll deal with me directly, I answer messages in the evenings, and nothing gets handed to a subcontractor you've never met.

The name

Augusta sits in the Savannah River basin, and I wanted something local that wasn't my own last name on a sign. That's the whole story.
