Three individual services carry a one-time setup fee: Automated CRM Workflows ($797), Google PPC Ads ($1,797), and SEO Performance ($1,597). Custom builds available.
Do you use automation?
Yes — to accelerate research, drafting, reporting, and routing. Every deliverable is reviewed and approved by a senior strategist before it ships. See our Technology Transparency page.
Who owns the assets and accounts?
You do. Ad accounts, CRM data, website, content, and creative are 100% yours from day one. We work inside your accounts, never lock you out.
Do you work with my industry?
We focus on local services, home services, professional services, healthcare, and e-commerce. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you on the first call.
How is reporting handled?
Live dashboard plus a monthly senior-led review. You see lead source, cost-per-lead, pipeline value, and what we're shipping next — no vanity metrics.
Where is the team based?
Headquartered in Los Angeles, California at 10880 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1108, Los Angeles, CA 90024. Senior strategy in-house; specialist execution through a vetted partner network. Call 1 (888) 431-4376 or email support@herodigitalmarketingagency.com.
What does a digital marketing agency do?
A digital marketing agency plans, builds, and manages the systems that bring a business customers online — local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization, paid search and social advertising, website and landing page conversion work, content and email marketing, review generation, and lead follow-up automation. At Hero Digital Marketing Agency, senior strategists own the plan, advanced tools accelerate research and execution, and every deliverable is reviewed by a human before it ships.
How much does digital marketing cost in Los Angeles?
Most Los Angeles small businesses invest $1,000 to $5,000 per month in managed digital marketing, plus ad spend. Hero Digital Marketing Agency plans start at $1,797/mo for Local Visibility, $3,797/mo for Growth, $4,797/mo for Scale, and $5,997/mo for Dominate. Freelancers can cost less but rarely cover the full funnel; national agencies often charge $5,000+ with junior account managers.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
Expect early movement in 30 to 60 days — Google Business Profile visibility, map-pack impressions, and long-tail rankings. Meaningful organic lead volume typically lands between 90 and 180 days, and competitive head terms can take 6 to 12 months. Local SEO moves faster than national SEO because the map pack rewards proximity, reviews, and profile completeness.
What is the difference between SEO and paid ads?
SEO earns free, compounding placement in organic and map results; it is slower to start but keeps producing after you stop paying for a specific click. Paid ads (Google Ads, Meta) buy immediate visibility with instant testing and precise targeting, but traffic stops the moment budget stops. Most Los Angeles businesses get the best result running both: paid ads for cash flow now, SEO for lower cost-per-lead over time.
How do I choose the right marketing agency?
Ask five questions: Who actually does the work — a senior strategist or a junior account manager? Do you own your ad accounts, website, and data? What is reported: leads and revenue, or impressions and clicks? Is the contract month-to-month? And can they show relevant results in your industry? Hero Digital Marketing Agency answers yes to client ownership, month-to-month terms after a 90-day runway, and senior-led reporting on cost-per-lead and pipeline value.
What is expert-driven marketing?
Expert-driven marketing uses machine learning to speed up the parts of marketing that used to be manual: keyword and competitor research, content drafting, ad creative variations, call answering and appointment booking, lead scoring, follow-up sequences, and reporting. It does not replace strategy. At Hero Digital Marketing Agency, our systems handle volume and speed while human strategists set direction and approve every deliverable.
How does review management improve local rankings?
Google weighs review count, average rating, review recency, and keyword relevance inside reviews when ranking the local map pack. A steady stream of new, detailed 5-star reviews signals an active, trusted business. Review management also lifts click-through from the map pack — listings above 4.5 stars get noticeably more calls — and gives you a fast path to respond before a negative review sets the tone.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization is the practice of making your business the answer that answer engines cite — ChatGPT, Google answer overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. It relies on clear question-and-answer content, structured data (schema markup), consistent name/address/phone details, verifiable expertise from named experts, and citations across trusted sources. Ann James leads GEO strategy at Hero Digital Marketing Agency so clients show up in instant answers, not just blue links.
Do you offer month-to-month contracts?
Yes. Bundles run month-to-month after an initial 90-day engagement, which gives the strategy a fair runway to produce data. Cancel any time after that with 30 days written notice. You keep your ad accounts, website, CRM data, content, and creative — they are yours from day one.
What industries do you serve?
Hero Digital Marketing Agency serves home services (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), healthcare and dental practices, legal and professional services, restaurants and hospitality, fitness and wellness, real estate, e-commerce, and local retail — primarily across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and San Diego County, with remote clients nationwide. If we are not the right fit, we say so on the first call.
