A marketing agency built for the trades.

I help home-service businesses get found on Google and in the AI assistants, and turn that visibility into booked jobs. One owner, one clear plan, month to month.

Owner-operated, and that is the point

I'm Steve Johnson. I run Own The Box Marketing myself, so the person who plans your marketing is the person who answers when you call.

1

Built for home-service pros

Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, drain and sewer, and landscaping. I know how these customers search and what makes them call.

2

Out-clarify, don't out-design

Your customer is deciding fast, on a phone, between jobs. I make what you do, where you do it, and how to reach you impossible to miss.

3

Results over aesthetics

Rankings, calls, and reviews are the scoreboard. A pretty site that no one finds is not marketing.

4

Built for AI search

More people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude who to hire. I build your site and profile so the assistants can read you and name you.

Why I started this

I kept seeing good tradespeople lose work to competitors who were simply easier to find. Not better at the job. Just more visible. I built Own The Box Marketing to fix that: get honest, hard-working businesses to the top of the search, and keep the plan simple enough that a busy owner can actually understand it. No contracts, no jargon, no games.
