Wasted Ad Spend
63% of businesses say they don't know if their marketing is actually working — they're just spending and hoping.
From Google Ads to Facebook to email — we run campaigns that actually convert. Personally managed by a local St. Louis team.
Marketing budgets get spent. Reports get sent. But too often the leads never show up — because the campaigns were never built to actually work.

Generic national campaigns waste your budget on people who will never become your customers — clicks from places you don't even serve.
80% of sales require 5+ follow ups — most businesses give up after one and leave the other 4 in the inbox.
Running ads without a funnel is like pouring water into a bucket with holes — busy but going nowhere fast.
Four channels, one strategy — built around your business, your market, and what your customers actually do online.
Show up the moment someone in St. Louis searches for your service. We build, manage and optimize Google Ad campaigns that put you at the top of search results for the exact keywords your customers are typing — and we only target people in your service area.
Reach St. Louis customers by location, age, interest and behavior. We create and manage Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns with scroll-stopping creative, precise local targeting, and lead forms that fill your pipeline.
Stay top of mind with your St. Louis community. We create and post content that builds your local brand, grows your following, and keeps your business in front of customers between purchases.

From kickoff to first measurable campaign performance.
We were burning $3K a month on Google Ads with nothing to show for it. River City rebuilt the campaigns from scratch, dialed in our St. Louis service area, and we doubled our leads with the same budget in the first 60 days.
The Facebook and Instagram ads they're running for us actually look like our brand — not generic templates. Lead form submissions are up 4x and the cost per lead is the lowest we've ever seen. Personal, responsive, accountable.
The email automations they built for us are quietly producing thousands a month in repeat business. Welcome series, win-back, promo blasts — it all just works. And the monthly report actually makes sense for once.
Free 30-minute marketing audit. No pressure. No pitch decks. We'll review your current campaigns and tell you exactly where your budget is being wasted — and how to fix it.
