Meet Matt
Before getting into marketing, I spent 15 years in the trades and built my own electrical business from scratch. Doing the work was never the issue. Figuring out how to keep the phone ringing without getting burned by marketing agencies was.
Slow websites that looked like everyone else's. Monthly reports full of clicks and "impressions" while the schedule stayed quiet. Long contracts with agencies who didn't understand local trades. I'd look at what was out there and think, I'd never hire any of them...
So I learned how to build the system myself.
A fast website, dialled-in Google Ads, and strong local search took my own company past 140 5-star reviews. Pretty soon, other business owners started asking if I could build the same thing for them. That's how Syntax Marketing started.
Ad costs keep climbing every year, so just buying clicks isn't enough anymore. My focus going forward is helping local businesses tighten up the whole system—from the first Google search to the follow-up email—so more leads turn into booked work.
I'm not trying to build the biggest marketing agency out there. Just the one worth sticking with.

Why Local Businesses Work With Me
Clear communication, upfront pricing, and marketing you actually own.
You Deal Directly With Me
I build your site, run your ads, and answer your calls. Not a junior account manager or support desk.
You'll Know the Price Before We Start
The price I quote is the price you pay, and ongoing work is month-to-month. No hidden fees or 12-month lock-ins.
Plain-English Updates, Not Fluff
You'll see how many calls and quote requests came in and what they cost. Not a 20-page PDF you have to decode.
You Own Everything I Build
Your website, domain, email list, and ad accounts stay 100% yours from day one. Never held hostage.
What Clients Say About Working With Matt
5-Star reviews from local service business owners who work directly with Matt.
Summit Plumbing
We got burned by a big agency last year that locked us in and sent fancy reports while the schedule stayed quiet. Matt built us a fast landing page, rebuilt our Google Ads from scratch, and our phone started ringing with real plumbing jobs the first week. Upfront flat price, zero fluff, and dealing directly with Matt instead of an account manager makes all the difference.
Ridgeview Roofing
Our old website took forever to load on a phone and we were nowhere to be found on Google Maps. Matt built us a clean new site, sorted out our local SEO, and got us into the top 3 on Maps within a few months. He was patient with every change, stuck to his quote, and we now get steady quote requests every week without lifting a finger.
Crestline Heating
Matt set up our Google Guaranteed ads and automated email follow-ups for open quotes and seasonal tune-ups. Booked three furnace replacements in the first two weeks just from calls at the top of Google, and the follow-up emails keep past clients coming back. Everything runs in accounts we own, and his updates show exact calls and cost per lead in plain English.
Common Questions
Thinking about getting help with your marketing? Clear answers on cost, contracts, and timing.
Do I have to hire you for everything, or can we start small?
Start with whatever you need most. Whether that's just a fast landing page, fixing a Google Ads account, or setting up Local Service Ads, you don't have to buy a giant bundle.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Ongoing work is month-to-month. If you ever want to pause during a busy stretch or step away, you're never locked in.
How much will it cost?
Tell me what you're looking to do and I'll give you a clear price upfront before we start. For ads, your ad budget goes straight to Google, and my management fee is a flat monthly rate.
What's the difference between Google Ads and Local Service Ads?
Local Service Ads sit at the very top of Google with the Google Guaranteed badge, and you pay per lead. Regular Google Ads sit right underneath, give us full control over keywords and landing pages, and charge per click. Most trades do best running both.
How fast will my phone start ringing?
Google Ads and Local Service Ads can start bringing in calls within days of going live. SEO takes longer—usually 3 to 6 months to build momentum—which is why many businesses start with ads while SEO ramps up.
What if I already have a website?
If your current site loads fast on a phone and turns visitors into calls, we'll use it. If it's slow or costing you leads, I'll tell you straight up and we can either tune it up or build a proper page.
Do I own my website and ad accounts?
Yes, 100%. Everything runs in accounts you own, and any website I build for you is yours to keep. Get a Free Quote.
