found, followed,

Local marketing for
Southern California
done properly.
Julie Karges Marketing is a boutique local marketing agency built specifically for brick-and-mortar businesses in Southern California. We combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution — managing everything from your Google Business Profile and Yelp presence to paid ads, email campaigns, and community events.
We're not a content mill. We're a small, dedicated team that treats every client's business like our own — because in a community-driven market, reputation is everything.
Local Marketing Services
Every service available à la carte, or bundled into a package. Three tiers per service — Starter, Standard, and Premium.
Social Media
Starter / Standard / Premium tiers — monthly retainer
Local Marketing Packages
Save 34–37% vs. à la carte. Every package includes onboarding. Ad spend and print costs billed separately.
We'll do it for you.
Or we'll teach you how.
Every local business is different. Some owners want to hand it all off. Others want to understand the playbook and run it themselves. We built our practice for both.
Ads when it makes sense.
Organic content builds trust and credibility with your local audience. Paid ads amplify what's already working. We never recommend spending a dollar on ads until your foundation is solid — because ads poured on an empty stage don't convert.
We run your marketing.
You run your business.
Hand us the keys. Our team handles everything from social media and SEO to email campaigns, paid ads, community events, and reputation management.
Learn the playbook.
Run it yourself.
Want to understand exactly how local marketing works so you can own it internally? We teach business owners and their teams the same strategies we use for our agency clients.
Start with a Marketing Audit.
We review your current local presence and deliver a clear action plan showing exactly what to fix first and why. You'll leave with at least three things you can improve this week — whether you work with us or not.
Our Local Marketing Process
From first call to monthly reporting — here's exactly what working with us looks like.
We audit your current presence, set up every platform, build your brand kit, and deliver a 90-day roadmap before we touch a single post.
Monthly strategy sessions align your marketing with your business goals — promotions, seasons, events, and what's working right now in your market.
Our team and specialist contractors execute across every channel — social, email, SEO, ads, platforms, and community — consistently, on-brand, every month.
You get a clear monthly report showing exactly what happened, what worked, and what's next. No jargon, no vanity metrics — just real results.
Your Southern California Marketing Team
A small, dedicated team backed by a network of specialist contractors — agency-level expertise without agency-level overhead.
Strategy, business development, and client relationships. Julie built this agency on the belief that local businesses deserve the same quality of marketing as major brands.
Client relationships, content production, email & SMS, local SEO oversight, paid ads, and monthly reporting. Your primary point of contact.
Social publishing, community management, GBP/Yelp/Nextdoor/YouTube, influencer program, content capture, and city events. Your brand's public presence.
