Digital marketing agency for Denver owners 
5.0 Rating on Google
A Denver Marketing Company Should Start With Your Calls, Not With a Menu
Professional services, health care and education together employ more than a third of the 416,271 Denver workers in the Census industry table, and construction adds another 6.8 percent. Those sectors buy marketing in different ways, and a marketing company that treats them alike is selling a package, not a plan.
GetPhound is an online marketing company: search engine optimization, Google Maps, paid search, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), websites and call reporting for Denver businesses. This page explains what that means in order, week by week, and how to judge a digital marketing agency before you sign anything.

Six Sectors That Employ Denver Workers, and What Each Wants From a Marketer
The Census table below shows employment by sector. Your customers probably come from one or two of these rows.
| Sector | Workers | Share of workers |
|---|---|---|
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 62,131 | 14.9 percent |
| Health care and social assistance | 52,548 | 12.6 percent |
| Education | 37,392 | 9 percent |
| Retail trade | 35,396 | 8.5 percent |
| Construction | 28,325 | 6.8 percent |
| Accommodation and food services | 27,296 | 6.6 percent |

Reading the sectors
A Law Firm, a Clinic and a Contractor Need Three Different Marketing Plans
Professional, scientific and technical services account for 14.9 percent of Denver workers, health care and social assistance 12.6 percent, education 9 percent, retail 8.5 percent, construction 6.8 percent and accommodation and food 6.6 percent. A firm selling to the first two rows usually wins on trust: reviews, plain-language service pages and a profile that matches the licence. A restaurant or a shop wins on timing and distance. A contractor wins on the weather, which in Denver is a long conversation of its own.
The brief for the city also notes the employers behind these numbers: city, school and state government, two hospital systems, two airlines, a university and the Auraria Campus. They matter to a marketer only as geography. A dentist near the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora and a coffee shop near the Auraria Campus both need to be found by people on foot or in a car within a mile or two. Internet marketing for those owners is mostly a map problem.
The sequence
Ninety Days, in the Order We Would Actually Work
Days 1 to 10: read the starting point
We look at your profile, your pages, the calls you receive and the map pack for your trade. We pull fresh numbers like those on the home page so we know how tall your review wall is and which months matter to you.
Days 10 to 30: fix what leaks
Profile details, service pages that match how Denver customers name your work, phone tracking that records which number a caller used, and a short list of searches worth owning. Nothing here needs an ad budget.
Days 30 to 60: build the pages and the reviews
New service and neighborhood pages go live, a simple review request routine starts, and the first monthly report counts calls rather than clicks. If your busy season is close, a pay-per-click campaign starts here.
Days 60 to 90: tune and decide
We compare calls by source, trim searches that cost money without calling, and decide with you whether to add a second paid platform, deeper content or a website rebuild. You can stop at any month; there is no contract.

What the numbers imply
A $540,400 Median Home and $85,853 Median Income Shape What Customers Expect to See
The Census survey puts median household income at $85,853 against a Colorado median of $80,311, median home value at $540,400 against $422,600 and median rent at $1,665 against $1,457.50. Unemployment stands at 4.7 percent. Households spend real money on repairs, moves and professional help here, and they compare before they buy. For an online marketing company, the practical reading is that thin pages and unanswered reviews cost more than they would in a cheaper market.
Only 12 percent of residents are 65 or older, against a state median of 14.55, and the median age is 34.9. Younger searchers use maps, voice and phone searches, and they rarely open a third page of results. We design marketing around the first screen they see on a phone.
How to choose
Five Questions to Put to Any Denver Digital Marketing Agency
How are calls counted?
Ask for phone tracking and a monthly report of calls by source. Impressions and clicks alone do not pay a payroll.
Who owns the accounts?
Your ad accounts, analytics and profile should be in your name. We run them for you; they remain yours.
What is on the invoice?
Flat monthly fee, ad spend separate, no setup fee, no contract. See Denver SEO plans for the current numbers.
Do they sell leads?
We do not. A company that sells leads has a reason to push volume over fit.
What the work covers
Search, Paid Ads, the Site and the Report: What You Get and What You Do Not
An online marketing company like ours works on what happens on a screen before a customer calls. That covers search engine optimization, the Google Business Profile, paid search on Google and Bing, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), the website and the tracking that links a phone call back to its source. It does not cover printed mailers, billboards or radio, and we would rather say so than stretch the word marketing until it fits.
A digital marketing agency should also be honest about limits. Nobody can buy a ranking, promise a number of calls or predict a date. What we can do is name the first month of work, show the numbers each month and change course when the calls say so. For a Denver trade that often means the first dollar goes to the profile and the pages, the second to pay-per-click near the peak, and the third to the site. Internet marketing for a clinic or a law firm leans on trust and plain wording; for a roofer it leans on the calendar and on hail.
What we measure
Four Numbers on the Monthly Report
Calls by source
Phone calls tracked to the profile, a page, an ad or a direct visit, so you can see which channel earns its place.
Map position for your main searches
Where your profile appears for the few searches that matter most, checked from the neighborhoods you serve.
Reviews added and answered
New reviews each month against the wall for your trade, plus the share we replied to.
Cost per call on paid search
Only when ads run. It is computed from your own ad spend and your own calls, never from an industry average.
Timing
Five Calendars That Do Not Agree
The same ninety days lands very differently depending on the trade.
| Business type | High season | Low season | High-season strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landscaping | April, May | December, November | 1.8 times an average month |
| Moving company | June, July | November, December | 1.2 times an average month |
| Real estate agent | August, April | December, February | 1.2 times an average month |
| Window replacement | May, March | December, November | 1.2 times an average month |
| Solar installer | October, August | December, February | 1.2 times an average month |
The yearly rhythm of Denver searches as we saw it in November 2026. Only the shape carries meaning here.
Seasons and the ninety days
Landscaping Peaks About 1.79 Times an Average Month in April and May, Movers Peak in June and July
Landscaping searches run about 1.79 times an average month in April and May and drop to about 0.47 in December and November. Movers are busiest in June and July at about 1.17 times and quietest in November and December. Real estate peaks in August and April at about 1.18, window replacement in May and March at about 1.18, and solar in October and August at about 1.2.
So a landscaper who signs in January has ninety days to be ready for April, a mover should be ready by May, and a solar installer can start building in summer. We work backward from the peak: reviews and pages first, paid search close to the peak, and a report after the season so the next year starts smarter. A Denver marketing company that ignores this calendar will spend your budget in the quiet months.
Channel order
Which Channel Comes First, and What It Needs
The order depends on your trade, not on a fixed formula. This table shows the logic we use.
| Channel | Comes first when | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Search engine optimization and Maps | Your trade has a short review wall or you need work in slow months | A complete profile, service pages, reviews |
| PPC on Google and Bing | Peak season is a few weeks away | Call tracking and a landing page that matches the search |
| Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) | You sell to neighborhoods, campuses or events | Clear offers and fresh photos |
| ChatGPT ads | Never first; an early channel worth a small measured test | A small budget and patience |
| Website rebuild | Pages are slow, hard to use on a phone or missing | Content ready and a clear call to action |
Budget and timing
Spend Preparation Money in the Quiet Months and Click Money Near the Peak
Every owner asks about budget, and in Denver the answer follows the calendar. A landscaper whose searches run near 1.79 times a normal month in April and May should not spread spending evenly: pages and reviews belong in winter, when the curve sits near 0.47, and paid search belongs in spring. A snow removal business is the reverse, since searches crest in October and November, so its profile and any campaign should be ready by early October. Plumbing is the steepest curve in the snapshot, near 2.55 times in March and April and near 0.38 in October and November.
Our monthly fee stays flat through all of that. Only the ad budget moves, and it is paid to the platform, so you can always see which part of the bill changed. We also split the work plainly. You supply photos, job details and access to your profile and site; we supply the pages, the setup, the tracking and the report. If a month brings no calls from a channel, the report says so and we propose a change instead of explaining it away.
Plans
What a Denver Marketing Company Charges Here, Written Out
Each plan is one monthly fee. For paid ads management the fee is $895, $1,595 or $2,295 depending on whether we run one, two or three platforms, and ad spend is billed by the platform.
Questions
Straight Answers About Hiring a Denver Marketing Company
How much does a Denver marketing company cost?
Our plans run from $495 a month for RankGuarantee™ to $3,495 for Organic Growth Platinum, with Silver at $1,495 and Gold at $2,495. Paid ads management is $895 for one platform, $1,595 for two and $2,295 for three, plus ad spend. No setup fee, no contract.
What is the difference between a marketing company and an advertising agency?
Advertising buys attention. A marketing company also fixes why people do not call: the profile, the pages, the phone line and the follow-up. We do both, search first and ads when timing calls for them.
Is digital marketing the same as internet marketing?
In practice yes. Digital marketing is the wider label, internet marketing the older one, and online marketing the one many owners type. The work is the same: be found, be trusted, be easy to call.
How long before I see calls?
Paid search can produce calls within days of launch. Organic work and a stronger profile take months, and we do not promise dates. We report calls monthly so you can judge.
Can you work with a business in Aurora, Lakewood or Littleton?
Yes. Customers cross city lines freely. We write pages for the places you cover, and the neighborhood marketing page shows how we split the area.
Do I need a new website first?
Not always. If the site loads quickly, works on a phone and has a page for each service, we start with search and Maps. If not, Gold and Platinum include a managed website.
Do you work with regulated trades like law or dentistry?
Yes, with care. We write plain descriptions, avoid outcome promises and leave anything clinical or legal to you.
