About Gage Media

Built for Local Business.
Backed by Real Results.

We started Gage Media because local service businesses were being underserved. Big agencies were too expensive, too impersonal, and too focused on vanity metrics that didn't move the needle for real businesses.

Ten years and $5M in ad spend later, we've grown 12+ brands across North Carolina. A 98% client retention rate isn't an accident. It's what happens when strategy is built around your revenue, not our reporting.

  • Direct line to your strategist, every time
  • No long-term contracts. Results earn the relationship.
  • Serving businesses across North Carolina for over a decade

Brandon is great and easy to work with. At our first meeting, he took the time to get to know about our business and what our vision was for the website. He laid out the whole process and set expectations, which he exceeded.

FAQ

Real Questions.
Straight Answers.

What makes Gage Media different from other marketing agencies?

You work directly with Brandon. Not a junior account manager reading from a dashboard. Every strategy, every campaign, every report comes from the same person who sold you on the work.

How much does it cost to work with Gage Media?

It depends on the scope. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all retainers. You shouldn't pay for services you don't need. After a free audit, we'll put together a recommendation that matches your goals and your budget. No pressure, no bloated packages.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We don't lock clients into long-term contracts because we don't need to. Results earn the relationship. Most clients stay because the work is working, not because they're obligated to.

How quickly can I expect to see results?

Paid advertising can generate leads within days of launch. SEO is a longer game — expect meaningful traction in 3 to 6 months. We'll be honest with you upfront about what's realistic for your specific situation so you're never chasing a timeline that doesn't make sense.

Do you only work with businesses in North Carolina?

Our roots are in Charlotte and we have deep experience across the Carolinas, but we work with businesses wherever the fit is right. If you're serious about growth and want a direct line to your strategist, we want to talk.

What does the free marketing audit include?

A real look at what's working, what's not, and where the biggest opportunities are across your paid channels, organic presence, website, and conversion funnel. It's not a sales pitch dressed up as advice. You'll leave with actionable findings whether you work with us or not.

Which industries do you specialize in?

Home services, mental health, healthcare, and real estate are our core verticals. We've built campaigns in these spaces long enough to know the nuances, the compliance considerations, the seasonal patterns, what messaging converts. We're not generalists pretending to know your industry.

How do you measure and report on results?

We report on what actually matters to your business: leads, booked jobs, revenue, cost per acquisition. Not vanity metrics like impressions or follower counts. You'll get clear, plain-language reporting on a regular cadence so you always know exactly where your money is going.
