Marketing & growth in Pittsburgh, PA.

UPMC, the largest nongovernmental employer in Pennsylvania, and Allegheny Health Network run hospitals, clinics, and research buildings that spread from Oakland through Shadyside, Bloomfield, and the North Side. Oakland is also home to the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, whose computer science and robotics programs seeded the autonomous vehicle and robotics companies clustered along the Allegheny riverfront in the Strip District and Lawrenceville. Downtown, the Golden Triangle holds the headquarters of PNC Financial Services and PPG Industries, while Kraft Heinz keeps a co-headquarters in the city. Google occupies offices at Bakery Square in Larimer, on the edge of East Liberty, and Duolingo is headquartered a few blocks away on Penn Avenue. Beyond the big names, neighborhood business districts do much of the everyday commerce: East Carson Street on the South Side, Butler Street in Lawrenceville, Walnut Street in Shadyside, and Forbes and Murray avenues in Squirrel Hill are lined with restaurants, salons, specialty retailers, and professional offices.

Competing in Pittsburgh means competing across 90 distinct neighborhoods and a ring of boroughs and townships that stretch from Cranberry to Monroeville, and most customers sort their options on a phone before they ever cross a bridge. A contractor in Brookline, a dentist in Squirrel Hill, or a machine shop in the Mon Valley is being compared against several rivals in the time it takes to scroll a results page, so a slow or outdated site is a quiet leak of work. We build lightweight custom sites that load quickly on a mobile connection, explain services in plain language, and put a call, booking, or quote request one tap away. Specific Pittsburgh content and an accurate Google Business Profile support local relevance, but no one can promise a map position because Google also weighs distance and prominence. What we can control is whether the visitors who arrive have a clear reason to get in touch.
