Local Marketing Plus

What Local Marketing Plus does

Local Marketing Plus is a privately held, founder-led digital marketing agency founded in 2012 and headquartered at 347 Leon Ave #210 in Kelowna, British Columbia, with operations spanning Canada and the United States. The company specializes in strategy-led local SEO for trades and service businesses — primarily plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, auto repair shops, and contractors — designed to dominate Google Maps and local search results and drive inbound phone calls. Its core technology stack combines a local SEO platform with the proprietary, trademarked "Tidal Wave Formula™" methodology, which pairs ethical SEO with an exclusivity model limiting the agency to one client per industry per market. Core products include Local SEO Services, Google Business Profile Management, Google Ads/PPC, Website Design (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum tiers), Reviews and Reputation Management, Content Writing, and Press Release Circulation.

In late 2025, Local Marketing Plus expanded its product surface into AI-powered operational tools with the launch of an AI Voice Assistant (November 2025) for plumbing companies, providing 24/7 after-hours customer service, lead qualification, emergency prioritization, and CRM integration using natural language processing. A bundled "Comprehensive Marketing Package" followed in December 2025, consolidating SEO, GBP management, geo-targeted PPC, review management, and AI voice into a single offering. The company's revenue model combines one-time website design fees with recurring subscription retainers across SEO, ads, AI voice, and reputation management services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with website design sold under multi-year contracts. Distribution is direct-to-SMB via the company website, phone-based discovery calls, and free consultations, supported by content marketing and an active social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The company is CASL-compliant, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and operates with 11-50 employees.
