Bridge City Firm

Local marketing for service businesses that want to be found

Bridge City Firm takes over a client's marketing so that owners can concentrate on running the business, and it presents itself as a digital marketing and growth firm. Its audience is mainly local service businesses, and it also offers nationwide marketing for those who want a wider reach. The firm says it has been producing results for clients for 13 years and backs its service with a lead guarantee.

Search engine marketing and local SEO

The main package is search engine marketing, which covers local SEO across Google, Bing and Apple Maps, social media marketing, and the distribution of positive reviews. The firm lists monthly link building and citations as part of the work. Its newer emphasis is on targeted citations: industry-specific directory listings paired with geo-tagged images, which it says have improved search rankings for the services a business provides.

Google Business Profile, video and schema

A large share of the firm's current pitch concerns the Google Business Profile. It says it fills in posts, updates, products and services with keyword-rich content so a listing is complete, and adds video to the listing. On the website itself it offers speed diagnostics and the changes needed to meet the page-speed expectations of search engines, and it adds several kinds of schema markup, including local business, map and geographic metadata, which it presents as a three-part approach to ranking above competitors.

Reporting, websites and technical support

Clients get a marketing dashboard. All clients are enrolled in what the firm calls its IT Concierge program, which includes unlimited website revisions and on-demand technical support, so technical requests do not fall to the owner. Web design and development is offered without a cap on changes, and the firm has built new sites for clients as part of its packages.

What the firm says about results

Its homepage presents running totals for revenue created, new customers delivered and businesses whose profit margins more than doubled. These are the company's own claims and are not independently verified here. The firm also describes search marketing as a response to the fact that most people look for professional services through search engines.
