Join Maury Alliance for a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating Advocate 1917!
...
We're celebrating joining the Maury County Chamber, and the Maury County rate that comes with it. Any business headquartered here pays 20% less than our published rate, permanently. No end date and no promo code; it's just what local businesses pay with us.
Advocate 1917 is a marketing agency here in Maury County. We build websites for local businesses, especially contractors, home service companies, clinics, professional firms, and restaurants, and then we make sure people can actually find them.
The short version is that most local businesses have a site that functions like a digital business card. It lists services and sits there. Where we come in is elevating the layer around it. We accomplish this several ways (social media management, Google & Meta ads, SEO/GEO/AIO, etc.). Overall our goal is to make sure you show up when people are looking for what you do.
The AI side is where most owners feel behind, and I'd rather demystify it than sell fear around it. When somebody asks ChatGPT who to call in Columbia, there's a reason it names three businesses and not yours, and it's explainable in about five minutes. I'm glad to walk anyone through it whether or not they ever hire us. Also, we love to help people automate where it matters. We'll never strip humanity out of your company because quite frankly it just provides a terrible user experience. However, we've helped several owners save major headaches on their CRM not working, not knowing how to use it, not connecting it to their marketing or website, etc.
I've managed over $20 million in ad spend across 300+ clients and 100+ vertical engagements. One restoration company we've worked with for three years has gone from $2.4 million to roughly $4 million a year over that stretch.
We're local, and we prefer to work that way. Behind every business are real people and real families. It's deeper than a dashboard and revenue for us. Every business headquartered in Maury County pays 20% less than our published rate, permanently.
