Marketing for Maine businesses, from Kittery to the County
We build websites and run ads for Maine owners who make the year in a short summer, and for those who keep working through the long winter.
Find your plan in Maine
What it takes to get found in Maine.
Maine's local search clusters in the south, around Portland, South Portland, Westbrook and the towns along I-295 and Route 1. Beyond that, the state spreads out fast: the Midcoast, Bangor and Downeast, the western mountains and lakes, and Aroostook County, which Mainers simply call the County. A plumber in Ellsworth or an electrician in Presque Isle may serve a huge area with only a few competitors. Tourist businesses face a different problem, because many of their customers are from away and search from Boston, New York or Quebec before they come. A good site serves both: locals who need you all year and visitors who find you once.
Regions we write pages for: Southern Maine, the Midcoast, Downeast, the Western Mountains, the County.
When demand moves.
Summer is short and everything rides on it. Coastal towns from Ogunquit to Bar Harbor fill from late June through Labor Day, and fall foliage brings a second rush into October. Ski season keeps Sugarloaf and Sunday River busy in winter, while snowmobilers fill the northern towns. Mud season in spring is the quiet stretch. Heating calls, plowing and ice dams carry home services through winter, and potato harvest shapes fall in the County.
Businesses with a lot to gain in Maine.
Every one of our 171 industry plans works here. These six stand out.
Marketing a business in Maine.
Write for people from away
Visitors searching from Massachusetts or New Jersey need directions, parking, hours and what to expect, written plainly. Locals already know where you are, so pages for them can focus on services, pricing and trust.
Seasonal hours need constant care
A Google listing that still shows summer hours in November sends people to a locked door and earns you angry reviews. We keep hours, holiday closures and seasonal reopening dates current so the listing is accurate all year.
French-speaking visitors from Quebec
Old Orchard Beach and other southern Maine towns see a lot of summer visitors from Quebec. A French page or French ad copy can help a rental, restaurant or attraction stand out to those families.
When should a seasonal Maine business start advertising?
Earlier than feels natural. People plan summer trips to Maine in winter and early spring, so we start ads and update the site and Google listing while you are still closed. The goal is to be on their list by the time you open. Every service runs on a 30-day agreement, so you can scale down once the season ends.
Do you work with businesses in northern and Downeast Maine?
Yes. In places like Machias, Houlton or Fort Kent, there are fewer competitors, and the work is mostly making sure you are easy to find: an accurate Google Business Profile, steady reviews and a site that loads fast on rural connections. A Starter Website at $1,499 often covers it, with $99 a month for hosting and management.
Can you help a heating company promote heat pumps?
Yes. Homeowners search for heat pump installation, heat pump rebates and cold-climate heat pumps, and each of those deserves its own page. We write those pages, run Google Ads on the searches that lead to installs, and keep your listing services up to date. For rebate details we point customers to Efficiency Maine rather than quoting amounts, since programs change.
