What the link types mean
- Guest posts: real articles on independent websites (DA 20 or higher) that our outreach places for you, each with a link to your site.
- Web 2.0 pages: pages we set up for you on big publishing platforms (DA 50 or higher), each pointing back to you.
- Amplification links: support links that point to your guest posts and Web 2.0 pages, never to your own site, so search engines find and index them.
- Your monthly report lists each one: where it lives, which of your pages it targets, and the words it uses.

Find out what is realistic for you, freeWhere your next dollar should go
Step 1
Fix the site if it leaks
Slow on a phone, no page for a service you sell, no clear way to call: fix those first, or every visit costs you.
Step 2
Get found
An SEO plan sized to your market: Business Profile, listings and reviews first, then pages and links.
Step 3
Answer more questions
A writing plan once you know which questions your customers search, so more of them land on you.
How marketing differs across Tennessee
Nashville
Buyers often shop for an all-round agency, so say clearly what you do and do not do. Neighborhoods and suburbs need their own pages.
Knoxville
Many businesses serve Maryville and the Smokies too, on Eastern time; the site and profile should say so.
Memphis
Freight, health care and firms that sell into Arkansas and Mississippi, which changes the listings and the pages.
Chattanooga
Plants, suppliers and home services that reach into north Georgia.
Freight and warehousing in Memphis, suppliers to the plants in Smyrna, Spring Hill and Chattanooga, vendors to Nashville's health care companies: B2B buyers search for capabilities and specifications, not "near me". Grand Division and Three Divisions cover more keywords and more than one website. Start Grand Division

Guides for owners weighing their marketing
Digital marketing questions
Something we didn't cover? Ask Sound Check, write to us or request a call.
What does a digital marketing agency in Tennessee usually charge?
It varies too much to quote a typical number: some charge hourly, some a monthly retainer, some a percentage of ad spend. Ask any agency for the monthly deliverables in writing. Ours: SEO from $65 to $575 a month, writing plans from $26 a month, websites from $400 by quote.
Which should I do first: SEO, content or a new website?
If the site is slow, hard to use on a phone or missing pages for your services, start with the website. If the site is fine but nobody finds it, start with SEO, which includes the Business Profile work. Writing plans make sense once you know which questions your customers search.
Can a $235 plan compete in Nashville or Memphis?
Sometimes not, and your free scorecard will say so before you spend anything. Our plans are set in advance and each month's work follows the same list, which is how the price stays low. In Nashville and Memphis most clients need Grand Division ($325), and a few need Three Divisions ($575) or a custom quote. In a smaller city, City Limits or Town Square often does the job.
Does SEO still matter with AI answers in Google and ChatGPT?
Yes. AI Overviews and chat assistants lean on the same signals as search: a clear site, consistent listings, reviews and pages that answer real questions, and local searches still show the map. Our plans work on all of those. Nobody can promise a mention in an AI answer, and we do not.
Will you work with my competitors?
We may. We can take on more than one business in the same town or trade, and we tell you that before you start rather than promise exclusivity. One client's data, reports and plans are never shared with another, and each campaign is planned for that business alone.
Is there a contract, and how do I cancel?
There is no long contract. Plans run month to month, and you cancel by emailing us from the address on your account, with no fee. The month you already paid for is finished. One month only plans simply end after that month.
Do you run Google Ads or Facebook ads?
No. We do not manage ad accounts. Ads can be the right call for a new business, a short season or testing which searches convert. Our work is the part that keeps paying after you stop buying clicks: search visibility, content and the website.
Can you handle several locations around Tennessee?
Yes. Grand Division covers 2 websites and Three Divisions 4, with 40 and 100 target keywords. Each real location gets its own Business Profile and page; we do not create pages for places you do not serve.
