Marketing
by industry
Marketing by industry, because a med spa and a roofing contractor shouldn't get the same plan. Each page covers how customers in that field search, which channels earn their keep and which ad and legal rules apply in the US.
Why one plan
doesn't fit
every business
A water heater emergency means a "near me" search at 10 p.m. A kitchen remodel means weeks of comparing portfolios before a quote request.
Healthcare, housing, credit, legal and addiction treatment face extra rules from Google, Meta, the FTC or state bars. Some campaigns need extra verification first.
A one-time house cleaning and a full home addition justify very different costs per lead.
Some businesses need a booking button and a reminder text. Others need a CRM that follows up for months.

From your field
to a written plan
Why your industry shapes the plan more than any tool
Generic advice says: build a site, run some ads, post on Instagram. In practice, what works depends on how your customers buy. A dental practice lives on Google Maps and reviews. A plumber, electrician or HVAC company needs calls from people with a problem right now, and in many US cities Local Services Ads sit above everything else on the page. A restaurant wants orders through its own website instead of paying a delivery app a cut of each one.
US rules that differ by industry
Some rules apply to everyone, like CAN-SPAM for email and the TCPA for marketing texts. Others hit specific fields. Healthcare websites have to think about HIPAA before installing tracking pixels on patient pages. Real estate ads run under fair housing rules and Meta's Special Ad Categories. Law firms follow their state bar's advertising rules. Every business that collects reviews falls under the FTC's rule against fake reviews. Each industry page notes the ones that matter there, with the usual reminder to check with your attorney.

Industry pages and city pages together

Questions about
industry marketing
Do you only work with the industries listed here?
No. The list covers the business types I'm asked about most often, and it keeps growing. If yours is missing, the basics still hold: learn how customers search, measure every inquiry and spend where the cost per customer works. Tell me about your business on a free call.
Have you worked in my industry?
Possibly. My case studies include kitchens and cabinetry, real estate, cleaning, barbershops, a pizzeria, beauty courses, a personal trainer, jewelry and laser hair removal. All of them are in Canada, Poland or Vietnam. Where I haven't worked in your exact field, I'll say so and explain what carries over.
Can you advertise a medical, legal or financial business?
Usually, within the rules. Google restricts some healthcare and medicine ads, addiction treatment needs LegitScript certification, Meta limits targeting for housing, credit and employment, and state bars regulate attorney ads. I plan around those limits; your compliance advisor or attorney has the final word.
Is there an industry you won't take on?
I don't take on businesses with no marketing budget or no clear offer yet. In a few heavily restricted categories, paid ads aren't the right first step at all; there I'd usually suggest SEO and a strong Google Business Profile before spending on ads.
