Creekmore Marketing

Small businesses make up the whole client list of this Kentucky agency, and it says it judges its own performance by one measure only: leads generated. Creekmore Marketing is based in Lexington and describes itself as woman owned, with additional offices in Ludlow and Independence, Kentucky, and a presence in Lexington, South Carolina.

Where the business comes from

The agency traces its approach to its founder's childhood in her family's small business, where she saw the struggles with advertising and day to day operations first hand. After a marketing degree and experience in internet marketing she started the firm. It works with small businesses throughout the United States and Canada and says clients come from all over the world.

Search, websites and social media

On search engine optimization, the agency says the work is more than content and keywords. It brings together links, online reputation, on-page work and local and social signals, and follows changes in the Google, Bing and Apple algorithms. Its website design is pitched as a round the clock salesperson that must work on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile and convert visitors into paying customers. Social media work covers organic and paid activity on Facebook, Instagram, NextDoor and TikTok, aimed at building an audience of local potential buyers. Google Ads management is handled by its pay-per-click team.

Reviews, messaging and branding

The agency helps clients earn five-star reviews, protects online reputation, and sets up customer contact through text and web chat, including a digital receptionist. Brand work includes logo redesigns and branding kits meant to keep style and messaging the same across channels.

Co-op funds for dealers

One less common service is co-op management, where the agency deals with co-op marketing funds for clients so they do not have to. It names Hunter Douglas and Benjamin Moore as brands it works with on this, and it reports client work for dealers in the Southeastern United States.

How it works with clients

No long contracts are required, the firm says, and it declines to take on a client's competitors. It also says it avoids confusing charts and padded numbers, preferring to report on leads. A free consultation is offered to new inquirers.
