Performance Marketing That Actually Increases Your Revenue

Services

What We Do

Google Ads, SEO, and AI search - built for eCommerce brands and local businesses that want real results, not vanity metrics.

Microsoft Ads

Bing and the Microsoft network reach buyers that Google misses - often at a lower cost-per-click with less competition. We build and manage Microsoft Ads campaigns with the same precision as Google: tight keyword targeting, strong ad copy, proper conversion tracking, and ongoing optimization.

Bing Search Campaigns Microsoft Audience Network Shopping Campaigns Conversion Tracking Bid Strategy Google Ads Import Real-Time Dashboard
Bing Search Campaigns: Keyword targeting and ad copy built for the Bing audience - capturing high-intent searches at lower CPCs than Google.
Microsoft Shopping: Product feed setup and optimization for Microsoft's shopping placements, including Bing Shopping and partner sites.
Audience Network: Display and native placements across MSN, Outlook, and partner properties - extending reach beyond search.
Conversion Tracking: UET tag setup so every lead, purchase, and form fill is attributed back to the exact campaign and keyword that drove it.
Google Ads Import & Sync: Efficient campaign mirroring from Google Ads with platform-specific adjustments so nothing gets lost in translation.
Ongoing Optimization: Search term reviews, bid adjustments, and ad testing - the same active management approach we apply to every account.

SEO

Paid search gets you in front of people today. SEO builds the foundation so you're not dependent on ads forever. We handle keyword research, on-page optimization, technical audits, backlink strategy, local SEO, and content - all tied back to the searches that bring in real business, not just traffic.

Keyword Research On-Page Optimization Technical Audit Local SEO Backlink Strategy Content Strategy Real-Time Dashboard
Technical SEO Audit: Site analysis identifying crawl errors, page speed issues, and structural problems that hold your rankings back.
On-Page Optimization: Title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and content structure optimized for the keywords your customers actually use.
Local SEO: Geo-targeted content and local citations so you show up when someone searches '[your service] near me' or '[city] + [service].'
Backlink Strategy: Building authoritative links that improve your domain's credibility and push your pages up the rankings.
Content Optimization: Service pages and supporting content built to rank for high-intent searches and answer the questions your customers ask before they buy.
Performance Tracking: Monthly reporting on keyword rankings, organic traffic, and conversions - so you can see the long-term compounding value of SEO.

How We Think

A smaller agency. A bigger commitment.

Most agencies sell you a team and hand you an intern. We're built differently - one senior strategist, full attention, no handoffs.

Signal

We read the data so you don't have to guess.

We track what matters, surface what's actionable, and give you a clear picture of performance - before you have to ask for it. No vanity metrics, no spin. Just an honest read on what the numbers mean for your business.

Strategy

We think about your business, not just your campaigns.

Tactics without strategy are just spending money faster. We build search programs around your actual growth goals - connecting paid, organic, and AI search into a plan that makes sense for where you're trying to go.

Speed

No layers. No wait times. Just fast.

There's no account coordinator between you and the person managing your campaigns. Decisions get made quickly, opportunities get acted on immediately, and problems get flagged before they become expensive.

Direct access, always

No layers, no handoffs, no junior staff.

Honest reporting

Real numbers, plain language. You always know exactly what your budget is doing.

Proprietary tooling

Python and AI-powered tools built in-house so we can move faster and catch things most setups miss.

AI search early mover

Already helping clients show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini while most agencies are still figuring it out.

About

Hi, I'm Drake.

Founder, Augur Media , Grand Junction, CO

I've been running Google Ads, SEO, and web design for years. I started Augur Media because I kept seeing the same thing: good businesses handing money to agencies that passed their account to a junior rep and sent a PDF at the end of the month.

That's not how I work. When you hire Augur Media, you work directly with me. I manage your campaigns, answer your questions, and flag problems before they get expensive. No handoffs. No layers.

Deep experience in Google Ads, SEO, and web design
eCommerce and local lead gen clients across the US

FAQ

Questions we get on the first call

Straight answers. No sales spin.

Yes. Book a call and we'll look at what you're running, what it's costing you, and where the gaps are. You'll walk away with a clear picture of what's working and what isn't - whether or not we end up working together.

Paid search typically shows meaningful data within 60-90 days. SEO takes longer - usually 3-6 months before you see real movement, but it compounds over time. AI search optimization can sometimes produce visibility within weeks, depending on your space. We'll be honest about timelines from day one.

Mainly two types: eCommerce brands that need serious Google Shopping and search campaigns, and local lead generation businesses - home services, dental, legal, med spas, and similar. If you've outgrown a previous agency or feel like you're not getting straight answers about your spend, let's talk.

Every business is different, so pricing is custom. We don't use a one-size-fits-all rate card. After the audit call, once we understand what you actually need, we'll put together a specific quote. No percentage-of-spend fees, no surprises.

Weekly Friday recap emails covering performance highlights, what was optimized, and what's coming next. A real-time reporting dashboard you can check anytime. And direct access to me - you don't have to wait for a scheduled call to ask a question.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are now answering questions that people used to Google. If your business isn't showing up in those answers, you're missing a growing slice of search traffic. We help clients get cited in AI-generated results through schema markup, entity optimization, and content strategy. Most agencies are still figuring this out - we're already doing it.

See if we're a fit.
