Services
One team for your whole marketing.
Search, ads, website and social, run as one system by specialists, with a project manager who answers to you. Built for established businesses and healthcare practices that want results rather than another employee to manage.
What marketing services does VIS Mountain offer?
VIS Mountain offers seven service lines: SEO and GEO, paid advertising, web design and development, branding and creative, social media management, reputation and CRM, and AI implementation. Each has its own specialist and its own set of separately scoped sub-services.
They are run as a single program coordinated by one project manager, rather than as separate vendors, because the channels depend on each other: advertising data informs the content, the content gives the advertising somewhere to land, and the reputation work decides whether either converts into a booking.
Everything under one roof, in the right order.
You would need a different vendor or a different hire for each of these. You get all of them, coordinated, on one plan, with one person accountable for the whole thing.
It is worth being clear about why that matters, because the phrase "one agency for everything" is a claim every agency makes. The argument is not convenience. It is that these services are not independent, and treating them as independent is what produces the very common situation where every channel reports success and the business has not grown.

A concrete example. Paid search sends traffic to a page that loads slowly on a phone. The ads agency reports a good cost per click, which is true. The web agency was never told the ads existed, so nobody connects the two. The SEO agency is publishing content about a service the ads data already proved nobody in this market searches for. Three competent vendors, three green dashboards, one flat month.
So the seven lines below are sold as one program with one sequence. Measurement first, because without it everything after is an opinion. Then the fastest leak, which is usually the website's conversion path or the Google Business Profile. Then the compounding work: content, structure, citations, reviews and the answer layer. Advertising goes on top once the thing it points at is worth pointing at.
If you only want one of these, the individual service pages below explain each one on its own terms, including what it cannot do by itself. We would rather you read that than buy a channel that needs a different channel to work.
Somebody reads this before the call.
Tell us where the business is now and what you want more of. A strategist looks at how you currently show up in search, in Maps and in AI answers before you speak to anyone, so the call starts at your situation rather than a pitch.
Each one owned by somebody who does only this.
Every sub-service listed under each card is a genuine, separately scoped piece of work with its own page. Nothing on these lists exists only to make a URL: if we would not quote it on its own, it is not there.

Seven lines, one dependency chain.
Drawn out, the reason to buy these together stops being a sales argument and becomes a structural one.
Measurement sits underneath all of it. Until calls, forms and chats are attributed to the thing that produced them, no channel can be evaluated and no budget argument can be settled with evidence rather than volume.
The website sits in the middle, because every other channel ends there. Search sends people to it, advertising sends people to it, social sends people to it, and the AI answer layer cites it. A site that is slow, confusing or unusable on a phone taxes every channel at once, which is why fixing it early makes everything else cheaper.

Search and advertising feed each other in both directions. Paid search tells you, within weeks, exactly which phrasings convert, which is information organic content would otherwise take a year to guess at. Organic positions reduce how much of the category you have to rent. Run together they are genuinely cheaper than run apart.
Reputation and follow-up sit at the end and decide whether any of it counts. A business can win the position, win the click and still lose the customer at the review check or in the two days before anybody rings them back. That is the least glamorous part of this list and often the part that moves the number most.
Local search still runs through Google.
BrightLocal's 2026 consumer research describes where a local search begins and what happens next. It is worth reading before deciding which channel deserves the first dollar.
SourceBrightLocal, Consumer Search Behavior, 2026
Which is not an argument that Google is the only thing that matters. It is an argument that if your Google presence is broken, nothing else you do will be evaluated on its merits, because a large share of the audience never gets past it.
Three steps. No mystery.
Nothing here is a trick to get your phone number. You will know the scope and the price before anyone asks you to sign anything.
Tell us where you are
One form, once. It is what we use to build your plan, so the call is about your business instead of a generic pitch. A senior strategist reads your account before you ever get a pitch.
A 20 minute intro call
A senior strategist gives you a straight read on where your leads are leaking, plus exact scope and pricing. No pressure, and nothing hidden until after you sign.
One team takes over
We transition your channels over 30 to 60 days without anything going dark, then run it all as one system with a single project manager who answers to you.
In-person meetings run 8:00am to 6:00pm and every office is by appointment only, including the headquarters. The booking calendar shows real availability.
What one salary buys. What a team does.
Same seven disciplines either way. The difference is whether each one has somebody who does it for a living. This is illustrative of how the work is staffed, not a claim about any specific hire, and your scope is set on the call.

| Discipline | One marketing hire | This team |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy and the plan | Part of the week | CMO level, owns the numbers |
| Google and Meta advertising | Learned on the job | Specialists who do only this |
| Search, maps and AI answers | Whatever time is left | A dedicated discipline |
| Website build and speed | Outsourced | In house |
| Social content | Usually first to slip | Planned with everything else |
| Automation and follow-up | Rarely happens | Built and monitored |
| Accountability | One person, stretched | One project manager over seven |
The honest caveat: an in-house marketer who already knows your business is genuinely valuable, and plenty of our clients keep theirs. They just stop being the only person who can do everything.
Seven specialists. One project manager.
CMO level strategy owns the plan and the numbers, which is the senior thinking most teams only get from an expensive hire. A project manager is your single point of contact, runs the work, chases the team and answers to you. You are not routed through a queue and you do not get a different account handler every quarter.
Ads specialists build and manage Google and Meta campaigns and do nothing else. SEO specialists work search, maps and the answer engines. Social handles content and channels that feed the rest of the system rather than running off on their own. Web developers own design, speed and conversion work in house rather than subcontracting it. An AI automation specialist wires up follow-up, routing and reporting so enquiries stop leaking between steps.
Your account is not somebody's side project. Campaigns, rankings, builds and automations are being worked on daily by the specialists who own them, and requests, approvals and questions live in a shared hub rather than in an inbox, so you can see what is open and what shipped.
One plan, one monthly report, one number to judge us on. Working sessions weekly or monthly, at your cadence, to make decisions rather than to fill an hour.
Proximity is the one nobody can buy.
Google publishes three inputs for local results: relevance, distance and prominence. Whitespark's 2026 study asked 47 local search practitioners to rank 187 factors, and the top of the list is unusually informative about where effort is worth spending.
SourceWhitespark, Local Search Ranking Factors 2026, 47 practitioners, 187 factors
Two useful conclusions. Proximity ranks second and cannot be bought, moved or optimised, so a plan that depends on it is not a plan. And although keywords in the business title score third, stuffing keywords into a business name breaks Google's representation guidelines and risks suspension. We do not do it, and if a competitor is doing it, reporting the violation is the correct response rather than copying it.
Your details have to be right in all of these.
Local listings, review platforms and the assistants people now ask. One correct record, syndicated everywhere it is quoted, is the least exciting and most reliably underrated part of this whole list.
What the work actually did.
A vein clinic in Chicago reduced ad spend from about $20,000 to about $7,000 a month while keeping qualified leads flowing. An urgent care in Chicagoland increased average patient count from 15 to 28 patients a day. An accounting firm in Los Angeles saw 12 leads and 8 new clients in the first month.
Client identities are kept private. Results vary by market, budget, competition and other factors, and these are examples of past outcomes rather than a guarantee of future results. We have deliberately not converted any of them into a percentage or an average, because averaging three engagements would produce a number that describes nothing.
The industries we already know well include dental, urgent care, med spa, primary care, ophthalmology, dermatology, physical therapy and pediatrics on the healthcare side, plus personal injury and bankruptcy law, roofing, HVAC and plumbing, electrical, water damage restoration and e-commerce. Where an industry is regulated, knowing the advertising rules is part of the service rather than something you have to police afterwards.
In their own words.
These come from our Google Business Profile as they are written, not retyped onto this page, which means what you are reading is whatever is true today rather than whatever was true when the page was built.

If you would rather talk it through than type it out, book a time. The short form higher up this page reaches exactly the same team.
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
Bundles start at $2,400 a month for the organic program, $3,600 a month with Google and Meta advertising, and $4,800 a month with the AI layer. Additional locations are $150 a month each on top of a bundle, and advertising budget is paid by you directly to the platforms.
The pricing page itemises exactly what sits inside each bundle. Anything genuinely custom, such as a large build or an unusual integration, is scoped and quoted against real requirements rather than guessed at.
Can I buy one service instead of the whole program?
Each of the seven lines has its own page explaining what it covers on its own terms, including what it cannot achieve without the others. Some of them genuinely stand alone. Most work considerably better inside a program, and we will tell you which category yours falls into rather than selling you the bigger number by default.
Who actually does the work?
A project manager owns your account and runs seven specialists behind it. You talk to the project manager, not a queue, and not a different account handler every month.
How fast will I see results?
Paid campaigns and conversion fixes typically move within the first 30 days. Search, maps and AI visibility compound over 90 days and beyond. You will see the plan and the expected sequence before you commit.
We will not date an organic result. Google's own guidance on hiring an SEO warns that nobody can guarantee a number one ranking, and a timeline promise is the same claim wearing a calendar.
Do I have to leave my current agency?
No. Most clients transition over 30 to 60 days as we take ownership of each channel. Nothing goes dark during the handoff, and plenty of clients keep an in-house marketer who then has a full team behind them.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO earns a position in a list of results. AEO structures a page so a clean answer can be lifted out of it and displayed directly. GEO is the work that gets a business named when somebody asks an AI assistant for a recommendation.
They share most of the same underlying work, which is why they sit on one service line rather than three. What differs is how you verify that it worked.
Do you work with businesses outside Illinois, Texas, California and Florida?
Yes. The seven offices are where our people are, not the limit of where we work. Almost all of this runs remotely, and the locations pages exist because local search rewards a genuine local presence, not because we decline work elsewhere.
What am I actually paying for each month?
A defined scope of work, run continuously, reported in one place. The pricing page lists it line by line with no counts attached, because a line that promises a fixed number of posts turns the work into a quota and quotas produce content nobody needed.
You also get the thing most retainers quietly omit: somebody whose job is to notice when a channel stops working and change it.
