//Where we work
Looking for a marketing agency near you?Start with one that knows what to fix.
Mining Wells is based in Orange County and works with owner-led businesses nationwide. If SEO, paid media, your website or your measurement is underperforming, we diagnose the constraint first and the founders stay on the account.
No cost. No obligation. No pitch if it is not a fit.
Already operating? You are in the right place.
We work best with businesses that already have customers, a real offer and a marketing budget set aside. If you are still forming the company or looking for no-cost startup help, our California business guides are the better place to start, and they are free.
Orange County is home base.
We are based in Irvine and work across the county. Start with the Orange County page, then move to the service pages when the diagnosis calls for them.
Markets with a page of their own.
These exist because the search demand and the buying intent are real, and because we had something specific to say about each market. We would rather have nine honest pages than sixty interchangeable ones.
Service pages by market
Everywhere else.
We also work with businesses in San Diego, the Inland Empire, Ventura County, Sacramento, the Central Valley and across the Bay Area, plus clients well outside California. There is no page for every city because almost none of the work depends on where you are. It lives in your search results, your ad accounts and your website.
All fifty states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
What we would look at first.
- 1Are the right people finding you?Search, maps and paid placement for terms that carry buying intent, not just volume.
- 2Are you paying for the right demand?Spend against what converts, and an honest look at what was never going to.
- 3Does the site finish the job?The offer, the proof and the next step, on the page the traffic actually lands on.
- 4Can you tell what is working?Calls, forms and bookings traced back far enough to make the next decision defensible.
Already have an agency? Good. Bring the report.
We will tell you what looks healthy, what we cannot verify and where we would look first. If the current setup makes sense, we will say that too. You do not have to fire anyone to get a second read.
Founders stay.
The people you meet stay on the account. No sales handoff, no junior takeover after signing.
Yours to keep.
Accounts, domains, ad platforms and content are in your name. If we part ways you keep all of it.
Month to month.
No annual lock-in. We would rather keep the work worth renewing.
//Common questions
What owners ask us first.
Are you actually local to me?
We are based in Irvine, California. Outside Orange County we say we serve a market rather than claiming an office in it, because listing addresses we do not hold would be dishonest and it is also bad local SEO. The founders work on your account either way.
Do I need to know which service I need?
No. Most owners arrive asking for one thing and leave with a different first move, because what limits growth is rarely the thing that is easiest to name. We diagnose before we recommend.
Do you work outside California?
Yes, in all fifty states. Almost none of this work depends on proximity: it lives in your search results, your ad accounts and your website. The California pages exist because that is where our own market knowledge is deepest, not because we only work here.
How do you price?
We quote after the diagnosis rather than before it, because a number invented before we have seen the account is a guess. Work is month to month with no annual lock-in.
Can you guarantee leads or rankings?
No. Anyone guaranteeing a ranking is either buying it with ads or targeting terms nobody searches. We will tell you what we expect to move, roughly how long it takes and what would tell us early that we are wrong.
