//Sacramento · Marketing agency
A Sacramento marketing agency for buyers who take their time.
In a capital city, plenty of sales are decided by a group, on a schedule somebody else set. We look at who is involved in the decision, what they read before they call, and what your current reporting can prove about any of it. Then we tell you what deserves the next dollar.
Work directly with our founders. No account-manager handoff.
Already operating? You are in the right place.
We work best with businesses that have customers, a real offer and a marketing budget set aside. Still forming the company, or looking for no-cost startup help? Use our free Sacramento startup guide instead. It is the better starting point and it costs nothing.
What changes in Sacramento.
Sacramento is a working capital. The state is the anchor employer, and around it sit UC Davis Health, a deep bench of nonprofits and law firms, and a technology scene that has been growing quietly for years. Midtown and downtown carry the everyday retail and nightlife, the Golden 1 Center pulls crowds into the grid, and the region's farm-to-fork reputation reaches well past the city limits.
Those customers do not behave the same way. An agency, a hospital system or a law firm buys through a process, often with a procurement step and several people who can say no. A Midtown regular or an East Sacramento family decides far faster. Marketing that treats both as one audience tends to be measured on the wrong number and cut for the wrong reason.
What we would look at first.
- 1Are the right people finding you?Search, maps and paid placement for the terms that carry buying intent, not the ones that only carry volume.
- 2Are you paying for the right demand?Spend against what converts, and an honest look at the demand you are buying that 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 the owner tell what worked?Calls, forms and bookings traced back far enough to make the next budget 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.
Work you can check.
These are our clients, not Sacramento clients. Every number on them is published on the study itself, so you can read the whole engagement rather than a highlight.
What we would most likely run for Sacramento.
Founders stay.
The people you meet stay on the account. There is no sales handoff and no junior takeover after the contract is signed.
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 than hold you to a term.
//Common questions
What Sacramento owners ask us first.
Do you work with businesses across the U.S.?
Yes. Mining Wells works with clients nationwide. We are headquartered in Orange County, California, and Jessica and Ben stay directly involved on every account.
Our sale takes months and involves several people. What should marketing be doing in the meantime?
Being findable and useful to everyone in that group, and making the next step easy for the few who are ready now. The work is usually the message, the pages they research and the handoff once an inquiry arrives.
Do I need to know which service I need before I call?
No. We diagnose first. Most owners arrive asking for one channel and leave with a different first move, because the thing limiting growth is rarely the thing that is easiest to name.
What if we already have an agency?
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, keeping it is the right answer and we will say so.
Can you guarantee leads or rankings?
No. We will tell you what we expect to move, roughly how long it usually takes and what would tell us early that the plan is wrong. That is a more useful promise than a number nobody can hold us to.
