More of our work

Marketing Agency

Bauer Marketing

A San Diego marketing agency on a WordPress site that did not match the work. We rebuilt all 29 pages by hand: a reel cut from their own footage, nine project pages, booking straight into the owner's calendar from every page, and a login so the team edits it themselves.

Home Care

SYNERGY HomeCare of North County

Local Services Marketplace

AAB Connections

A two-sided marketplace where people find local service providers by category and town. Vendors are live and listed, they sign up and manage their own listings, and the owner approves every one from a queue we built for her.

03Who we specialize in

Outdoor builders who sell from a design.

Patios, planted backyards and outdoor rooms, sold from a design. We turn more of the homeowners already looking at your work into booked site visits, and chase every quote to a yes or a no. You keep building the way you do today.

Sample conversationThu 7:12 PM

Hi, looking for a quote on a paver patio and outdoor kitchen, maybe 600 sq ft. We're in Scottsdale.

7:14 PM

Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help with the patio and kitchen. Two quick questions so the site visit is useful: rough budget range, and are you hoping to start this spring?

04Why Diakon

Where agencies usually let owners down, and what we do instead.

We keep the team small on purpose. The people on your first call are the people doing the work.

Lead follow-up

The alternatives: Leads sit in an inbox until someone remembers them.

Diakon: A text and an email go out the moment a lead comes in, from your own CRM.

Web builds

The alternatives: A theme or page builder sold as custom, and the load time shows it.

Diakon: Hand-coded from scratch for your business, with SEO set before launch.

Ad billing

The alternatives: A percentage of ad spend, so the agency earns more when you spend more.

Diakon: A flat monthly fee. Spending more never pays us more.

Reporting

The alternatives: Impressions and reach, which look busy and book nothing.

Diakon: Rankings, calls, form fills and cost per lead.

Contracts

The alternatives: Six to twelve months, a penalty to leave, and the accounts in the agency's name.

Diakon: Month to month with 30 days' notice (SEO starts with 3 months). Your accounts and data are yours from day one.

Straight answers

Do you build websites from scratch or use templates?
We hand-code every site. No WordPress, no page builders, no themes. That's why they load fast, and fast pages do better on Google.
Why does SEO have a 3-month initial term?
Month one is groundwork. In month two Google crawls and weighs the changes. By month three there's real ranking data to judge us on. That's why the first term is three months. After that it's month to month.
What is the Booked-Visit System?
Our package for hardscape, landscape design-build and outdoor living firms: a new site, visitor identification, local SEO, reviews and a reply to every lead inside five minutes, run for you. Each trade has its own page under Specialties.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Web, social and CRM are month to month with 30 days' notice. SEO and Local SEO start with a 3-month term, then go month to month. Your domain, accounts and data are in your name either way.
