Your Guide

Hi, I'm Charles Burns.

When you work with Five Rivers Marketing, your strategy does not get handed off to a junior account manager. You work directly with me and a small, experienced team that understands website design, SEO, and what it takes to make the phone ring. 

I’m not looking at your business from a spreadsheet. I work with local service businesses, understand the Dayton and Cincinnati markets, and care about building marketing systems that actually produce leads. I started Five Rivers Marketing because I was tired of seeing hardworking local business owners get burned by agencies that overpromise and underdeliver.

We understand the competition, the search behavior, and the industries that drive these markets. That local knowledge shows up in every website and SEO strategy we build.

We desperately needed help with our online presence and just the overall visitor experience that a consumer would have with us online. Charles knew exactly what was needed based on his experience working with the service industry and jumped right on it. It was almost as if he was reading our mind. We are so happy with the outcome.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How much does a website design cost?

Our websites start at $1,500 for a professional, conversion-focused site. Most service business sites fall in the $2,500–$5,000 range depending on the number of pages, custom features, and complexity. We offer transparent flat-rate pricing with no surprise fees.

Most clients start seeing measurable improvements in rankings and traffic within 3–6 months. Significant lead generation results typically come at the 6–12 month mark. SEO is a long-term investment — the results compound over time and continue working without ongoing ad spend.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) improves your organic rankings so you show up in search results without paying per click. Google Ads puts you at the top of results immediately but stops the moment you stop paying. Most businesses benefit from both — Ads for fast leads now, SEO for sustainable long-term growth.

Yes. While we have deep roots in Dayton and Cincinnati, we work with service businesses across the country. Our strategies are built around your specific market and customer base, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

We primarily serve service-based businesses — including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, contractors, medical practices, and industrial companies. If your business relies on local customers finding you online, we can help.

Absolutely. You own your website, your domain, and all your content — 100%. We build on WordPress so you are never locked into a proprietary platform. If you ever leave, everything comes with you.
