Three jobs we handle for you.

  • Get found.

    Your hours and services stay correct on Google, on maps, and in the AI assistants people now ask for recommendations.

  • Answer fast.

    Every missed call or new message gets a quick text back, even while you’re on a job.

  • Bring customers back.

    We ask happy customers for reviews, remind people of appointments, and check in with your regulars, all in your voice.

Six parts that run in the background.

Behind those three jobs sits the 6-Part Digital Engine. We run it, update it, and maintain it, so you never log into a dashboard. Word of mouth is the best marketing in the mountains. The Engine makes sure yours gets answered.

Trusted local businesses, on one team.

A Partner Team is a small, hand-picked group of local businesses that serve the same customer from start to finish. A wedding needs a photographer, a florist, a caterer, a venue, and someone to do the hair. A storm needs a roofer, a restorer, and a builder. When a customer finds one business on the team, they find the whole team.

We’re building five Partner Teams. We’re inviting the first businesses now.

  • Weddings · photographer, florist, caterer, venue, hair
  • Home & Moving · realtor or lender, movers, home repair
  • Storm & Disaster Recovery · roofer, restorer, builder
  • Local Tourism · lodging, food, things to do
  • Farewell (funeral and memorial) · funeral home, florist, caterer

Nobody pays per customer. We never sell or share a customer’s number.

How a customer finds you

  1. A customer asks a team for help on marvinandgary.com.

  2. One business on the team gets the first call, for 2 to 3 business days.

  3. If it passes, or the time runs out, the other businesses on the team get the call.

What you can hold us to.

  • Under 90 seconds.

    Every new inquiry gets a text back in under 90 seconds.

  • 15 minutes, then you.

    If a customer still needs a person after 15 minutes, we bring you in.

  • Your name, your bill.

    Your web address is registered in your name and billed to your own account. You own it.

  • Your site stands on its own.

    Your site keeps running even if ours goes down.

  • Same phone, same way.

    Replies go out from your own number, and you text back from your normal phone. You change nothing about how you do business.

  • No contract.

    You’ll see the total before you pay anything.

How it works.

  1. We talk first.

    We stop by your shop or take your call, and ask where your time goes.

  2. We build it around you.

    We start from your Facebook page, logo, and photos, and set up software that sounds like you.

  3. We introduce you to your team.

    As it forms, you meet the local businesses who serve your customers before and after you do.

  4. We keep it running.

    We update and maintain everything. You never log into a dashboard.
