We build the website, run the SEO, manage the paid ads, write the content, and stand up the AI follow-up — as one integrated system, not five vendors stitched together. ### No Monthly Retainer Project-based pricing. No $3,000–$10,000/month retainer. You scope what you need, we ship it, you own it. ### AI Built In, Not Bolted On Every campaign we run is paired with an AI follow-up agent that contacts leads inside 60 seconds — the single biggest reason our funnels outperform. ### Measured in Revenue We report on revenue, pipeline, and cost per acquisition — not impressions or rankings. If a channel isn't earning, we shut it down. ### You Own Everything Site, ad accounts, audiences, content, automations, AI agents — all yours. No proprietary platform lock-in. ### 10+ Years, $35M+ Generated Over a decade of full-funnel work across home services, real estate, e-commerce, professional services, and AI-native startups.

The marketing that works here puts a clear local signal in front of buyers fast, then closes the loop before the lead goes cold. Generic regional campaigns don't earn here — Simi buyers know the difference between an agency that knows the 118 corridor and one that doesn't. The dominant verticals are home services, contractors, healthcare, light manufacturing, and family service businesses. Most agencies serving Simi sell SEO retainers and bolt ads on later. We scope the full funnel up front so the channels compound instead of competing for budget. We serve Simi from our Thousand Oaks studio — in-person discovery is standard, at your facility or at our studio. Industries we serve in Simi Valley Home services & contractors Healthcare & dental Light manufacturing Auto & specialty trades Family-run service businesses Professional services Adjacent cities served Thousand Oaks Moorpark Chatsworth Northridge Porter Ranch Camarillo ## Who else offers digital marketing in Simi Valley? We think you should know your options. Here's an honest read of the local market. Agency Delivery Tech AI capability Pricing You own it? CaliNetworks Channel-by-channel WordPress + plugins None Monthly retainer Partial Sachs Marketing Group Multi-channel agency WordPress + SEO tooling None Month-to-month retainer Partial Local Simi web shops Site-first, ads bolted on WordPress None Per-project or hourly Partial National Digital Marketing Firms Templated playbooks Off-the-shelf stack None $5K–$15K/mo retainer Limited Thrive Media Recommended One team, every channel Custom site + AI stack AI follow-up agent included Project-based (no retainer) Yes — accounts, data, assets Most agencies in this corridor specialize in one channel. We run them all as one funnel because that's where the compounding revenue lives. > Every agency above has strengths worth knowing about. Several Simi and Conejo web shops have strong local-SEO experience if rankings — not full-funnel revenue — are the priority. The distinction is delivery model, tech stack, and AI capability — and on those dimensions, the comparison is clear. ## What does full-service digital marketing cost? Most agencies charge a flat monthly retainer regardless of output. We charge for the scoped work — and you keep everything. DIY / Freelancers Stitched Together Hidden cost Coordination tax - Five vendors that don't talk to each other - No single owner of revenue outcomes - You become the project manager - Channels optimized in isolation, not as a funnel Traditional Full-Service Agency $3,000–$10,000+/mo Retainer + % of spend - Long-term contracts - You pay even when output is thin - Creative, landing pages, automation often billed separately - Junior staff on your account, senior staff in the pitch Recommended Thrive Media · Full-Funnel Project-based Revenue-focused. - Site, SEO, ads, content, AI — one team - No retainer, no long-term contract - AI follow-up agent included - Reported on revenue, not impressions - You own the accounts, data, and assets [Get a Free Marketing Audit](/contact) You'll get a clear, flat quote on your first call — not after a two-week proposal process. ## Frequently asked questions Questions Simi Valley businesses ask before working with us.
