Most small businesses don't need a marketing agency.
They need one person who actually does the work.

Yahoola Creek is a small marketing shop focused on trades and professional service businesses. Websites, Google ads, SEO, email — flat monthly rates, no contracts, and you'll always talk to the person doing your work.

Here's what I keep running into.

Profitable businesses with almost no web presence. HVAC companies getting two calls a week from the internet when they could be getting fifteen. Electricians who are invisible on Google in their own zip code. Law firms spending real money on ads that were set up wrong from the start and have never been touched.

None of this is complicated to fix. It's just work that nobody has gotten around to doing.

Most of these businesses grew almost entirely on referrals. That's not a weakness — it means the product is good and people trust them. But referrals have a ceiling, and when they slow down, there's nothing to fall back on.

More about how we work →

"The businesses I work with are good at what they do. They just never needed to think about marketing — until they did. By then they've either lost ground to a competitor or had a slow quarter that scared them. That's usually when we meet."

— Yahoola Creek Marketing

Four ways to work together.

From a one-time website build to a full ongoing engagement. Most clients start small and expand once they see what's possible.

Monthly review

We go through what's working and what we're doing next. You always know what's happening and why.

Why this is different from hiring an agency.

Most agencies assign you an account manager who relays information between you and whoever is actually doing the work. You end up paying for a lot of overhead that doesn't touch your campaigns.

At Yahoola Creek, there's no account manager. You talk directly to the person running your ads, building your site, and writing your content. That's not a pitch — it's just how a small shop works.

Transparent pricing

The rates are on the website. You knew the price before you got on a call. That's unusual in this industry, and it's intentional.

No long-term contracts

Month-to-month. If the work stops producing results, you should be able to leave. We'd rather earn the business every month than lock you in.

Revenue, not reports

We track leads and calls, not impressions. You're in business to make money, so that's what we measure.

Focused on your type of business

We don't do e-commerce, SaaS, or restaurants. Trades and professional services is what we know, so that's what we do.
