Owner-led digital marketing · Central Ohio
A digital marketing agency measured by calls, bookings, and new customers
TC3 Marketing is an owner-led agency in Delaware, Ohio. I build and run the websites, local SEO, Google Ads, and content that help dental practices, home service companies, and restaurants turn local searches into real business.
- Strategy firstEvery engagement starts with your market, your customers, and your goals.
- Owner-ledYou work directly with me, not a rotating account team.
- MeasurableCalls, form fills, and bookings, not clicks and impressions.
One system, not a pile of vendors
Most local businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a connection problem.
One company built the website. Someone else "does SEO." The ads account hasn't been checked in months, and social media happens when somebody has a free minute. Each piece might be fine on its own, but nobody is responsible for whether the phone actually rings.
I connect the pieces so each one supports the next: search and ads bring the right people in, the website turns them into calls and bookings, and tracking shows you exactly what worked.
Why TC3 Marketing- A website nobody finds
- Ads sending people to a page that doesn't convert
- Reports full of impressions
- Several vendors, no one accountable

How it fits together
Every channel points at the same goal
Search, ads, and social each bring people to you in a different way, but they all end up in the same place: your website or your Google Business Profile. That's where a visitor becomes a call, a form, or a booking.
So I build the foundation first, then add the channels that make sense for your market and budget, with tracking on every step so you can see what each dollar returns.

Straight answers
Digital marketing agency FAQs
What does a digital marketing agency actually do for a local business?
It gets the right people to find you, trust you, and contact you. For TC3 clients that usually means a website built to convert, local SEO and Google Maps visibility, Google Ads when they make sense, and content or social media that answers customer questions. The measure is calls, form fills, and bookings.
Do I need every service?
No. Most businesses need one or two things done well before anything else. A Blueprint or a free consultation will tell you which step matters most, and I'll say so even if it's something you can handle yourself.
How much does it cost?
Blueprints start at $1,250, websites at $2,500, local search plans at $1,250 per month, and restaurant and bar content plans at $900 per month (launch pricing through January 31, 2027). Every engagement gets a written scope and price before any work begins.
Are there long-term contracts?
Websites are one-time projects. Local search plans have a 6-month initial term because search results take months to build, then run month to month with 30 days' notice. Content plans have a 3-month minimum.
Who will I actually work with?
Me. I'm Carter Smith, the owner of TC3 Marketing, and I handle your strategy, communication, and execution personally. You won't be handed off to a junior account rep.
Do you only work with businesses in Central Ohio?
TC3 is based in Delaware, Ohio, and most clients are in Central Ohio. Restaurant and bar content is shot on-site, so it's local only. Website, SEO, and ads work for dental practices can be done anywhere.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Nobody can honestly control Google or guarantee customers. I commit to a clear scope, disciplined work, and reporting tied to real calls, forms, and bookings.
