Real Connection Media

Located in Applegate and working out of Auburn, California, Real Connection Media is a small digital marketing agency serving service businesses throughout Placer County, including contractors, clinics, retailers, schools, and professional services firms. The team is intentionally small, with clients able to identify who handles their account and meet in person if preferred. Work is organised around what the agency describes as a "local growth engine" that covers the full customer journey from being found in search to being chosen and ultimately booked, with monthly reporting focused on business outcomes rather than traffic metrics. Services are structured as eight components of that engine, offered on a month-to-month basis with plans starting at $750 a month. Local SEO work includes audits, keyword targeting, Google Business Profile optimization, citations, and review support to improve visibility on Google Search and Maps. Website design and development focuses on conversion-oriented, mobile-friendly pages with basic SEO, analytics setup, and handoff training so sites are easy to update. Local Ads services cover campaign strategy, ad copy and creative, geo-targeting, budget recommendations, and conversion tracking, summarised in a monthly performance report. Additional listed services include email and newsletter marketing, content creation, AI visibility work aimed at surfacing in AI search tools such as ChatGPT, AI automation, and Google Business Profile management. The agency also offers a free "scorecard" tool intended to show businesses where they stand across the found, chosen, and booked stages.
