Banner ad creative mockups pinned on a studio wall beside a monitor

    Display Advertising

    for local service businesses in Vancouver WA and Portland OR

    Banner placements across the sites and apps your neighbors already read, so your name is familiar before the pipe bursts or the panel trips.

    Quoted per account

    Do banner ads make sense for a local service business, or is that just big-brand stuff?

    They work for one narrow purpose: familiarity inside a small radius. Nobody clicks a banner and books a furnace replacement. But a homeowner who has seen your van and your name for a month picks you off a list faster. Judge display on assisted bookings, never on clicks.

    What this actually includes

    Display advertising places banner ads across websites and apps inside a neighborhood boundary you set, built from your own photos rather than stock imagery, so homeowners see a familiar name before they need you.

    Display work starts with the boundary, not the artwork. We draw placement around the neighborhoods you actually serve and exclude everything else, including the app inventory and made-for-advertising sites that eat local budgets while producing nothing. That exclusion list is longer than most owners expect and it is the difference between a channel and a leak.

    Creative comes next. You get a set of banner sizes built from your own photography — real trucks, real crews, real job sites — with one message per set. Your phone number and your city are on every unit. We avoid stock imagery because a homeowner in Hazel Dell can tell the difference and it costs you the familiarity you are paying for.

    Targeting is kept simple on purpose: geography first, then a small number of interest and in-market audiences that match how people actually shop for your trade. Frequency caps are set so the same household sees you a handful of times a week rather than forty, which annoys people and wastes money.

    Reporting is honest about what this channel can and cannot show. We report reach inside your service area, frequency, placement quality, and assisted conversions where tracking allows it, with a short written note each cycle on what changed and why. We do not dress up view-through numbers as booked jobs.

    Who this is for

    This channel fits a business trying to become familiar across a specific set of neighborhoods, where search ads alone only reach people already actively looking that exact moment.

    This is for businesses with a name to build in a specific set of neighborhoods. If nobody in Cascade Park has heard of you, search ads capture only the people already looking, and that is a small slice of the market at any moment.

    Roofing companies after a storm season use display to stay familiar while homeowners work through insurance timelines that run for months.

    Med spas use it for treatment awareness, where the decision is slow and the buyer is comparing rather than reacting.

    This is not the channel for an emergency-only plumbing shop with a thin budget. If you have one thousand dollars a month to spend, put it in search where the intent already exists. Display earns its place as a second or third channel, not a first.

    How it works

    The process starts with a placement plan naming included neighborhoods and excluded ad inventory, followed by creative built from your own photography and a review every month of which placements perform.

    A placement plan set before any artwork exists is what keeps budget from leaking into wasted inventory. We start with a placement plan: the neighborhoods included, the inventory excluded, and the frequency cap.

    Creative production follows, using your photos. You approve every unit before it runs.

    Then the campaign goes live with a tight budget and a placement report reviewed every 30 days. Bad placements get excluded, good ones get more weight, and creative rotates before it goes stale. You keep the banner files.

    Serving Vancouver, Portland, and the Pacific Northwest

    Banner placements run for businesses across Vancouver WA, Portland OR, Camas, Washougal, Orchards, Hazel Dell, Minnehaha, and Cascade Park, with boundaries drawn tightly so impressions do not spill across the Columbia River unnecessarily.

    We place display for businesses across Vancouver WA and Portland OR, plus Camas, Washougal, Orchards, Hazel Dell, Minnehaha, Cascade Park, Ogden, Forest Ridge, Meadow Homes, Vancouver Heights, Evergreen Highlands, and Ellsworth Springs. Neighborhood-level boundaries matter more here than in a single-city market, since a lazy radius spills across the Columbia and buys impressions in towns your crews will never reach.
