What Squirrel Digital Marketing does

Squirrel Digital Marketing is a privately held digital marketing agency headquartered in Sacramento, California, founded in 2017 as an outgrowth of the operators of Nerds on Call, a California computer repair business established in 2004. The firm packages 20+ years of operating experience in the computer repair vertical into a suite of white-label services — recurring-revenue Service Plans ($19/month per enrolled customer), a U.S.-based Call Center and Help Desk ($99 per successful remote repair), Marketing Services (PPC, SEO, email, web), and Bookkeeping (RepairShopr + Quickbooks Online integration) — sold primarily to small and mid-sized computer repair shops nationwide.

The underlying technology stack is a services-and-process platform rather than a software product. Core operational components include a Service Plan Management System that enrolls end customers into monthly support contracts, a California-based customer service call center staffed with technology-trained representatives, and a 100% U.S.-based remote support team available seven days a week. Squirrel integrates with third-party platforms (MailerLite for email marketing; RepairShopr for POS and e-commerce; Quickbooks Online for bookkeeping) to deliver adjacent functionality without building proprietary tooling in those layers. The company produces the Growth Marketer Academy podcast as a content-marketing channel supporting its own sales motion.

Revenue is generated across five streams: subscription service plans (Squirrel collects $19/month per enrolled end customer, with partners setting retail around a suggested $29/month), per-transaction remote repairs ($99 per successful fix), quote-based marketing services, quote-based managed call center services, and bookkeeping for select small clients. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and consultative, targeting SMB computer repair businesses directly with educational content (blog, podcast) and personalized strategy consultations. The stated customer base is small computer repair shops and technical repair companies nationwide, with sister company Nerds on Call serving as the flagship reference customer and proof-of-concept for the white-label model.

Revenue model

1. Service Plan Subscriptions: Monthly recurring revenue model where computer repair partners enroll customers in service plans. Partners set their own retail price (suggested $29/month) and pay $19/month per customer to Squirrel, keeping the remainder as profit. This creates a passive income stream for repair shops.
2. Remote Repair Transactions: Per-transaction revenue for standalone residential and business remote repairs. Partners set their own price (suggested $149) and pay $99 per successful remote repair to Squirrel.
3. Marketing Services: Pay-per-click advertising, SEO, email marketing, website development, and e-commerce services provided to computer repair companies. Pricing is custom/quote-based.
4. Call Center Services: White-label customer service and call center support services for repair shops, customizable to client needs. Quote-based pricing.
5. Bookkeeping Services: RepairShopr with Quickbooks Online integrated bookkeeping services for select small clients.
