About Hoopless Marketing

Hoopless helps sensitive and high-stakes industries navigate complexity, get found online, and tie marketing efforts to ROI – with simple, month-to-month terms.

Why Hoopless? Because That's Our Mission.

We demystify digital marketing, navigate the most complex verticals, and offer flexible month-to-month terms. We skip bloated packages or generic deliverables and only focus on the metrics that matter for your business.

Learn What Has ROI & What Doesn’t

Many agencies focus on rankings, traffic, or other metrics that don’t really mean anything without context. A blog with 10k visitors doesn’t mean you got ROI! We help clients identify objective benchmarks based on bottom line business performance, define goals, and set up tracking and attribution. That means you can cut waste and only invest in activity that drives revenue.

Get Found Locally (Not Just Blog Traffic)

Where we shine is with lead-based businesses that rely on local calls. Our north star isn’t blog traffic or social media likes – it’s whatever signals equal more calls.

Focus on Local

Get in Front of Customers Where Decisions Happen

From Google Maps to LLMs and niche directories, we understand where customers ultimately make their decision – and help you show up when it matters most. LLMs are quickly becoming a high-conversion-rate channel, and LLM visibility is an extremely new study. Our small and agile team is constantly monitoring developments, testing theories, and shifting strategies for our clients.

Paid Social or Google Ads Without % of Ad Spend Fees

Many vendors and agencies use a “percentage of ad spend” model for PPC or paid social. To us, that doesn’t make sense, because fluctuation in budget doesn’t always equate to any more work. If you hired a Google Ads manager in-house, you wouldn’t pay their salary based on the ad spend… So, we keep it simple with one flat rate.

Core Values & How We Operate

Always Tailored

(Not Standardized)

Every client and market is unique, and we always strive to recommend precisely what each client needs and nothing more.

Success = ROI

(Not Just Rankings)

Whether it’s SEO or Ads, we define success by our value-add and ROI. If our clients can’t see our value, that’s our problem.

We’re A Team

(Not a “Vendor”)

We strive to be an extension of your team. We know we may end up wearing many hats along the way – and that’s ok!

Clear & Transparent

(Not Vague Jargon)

We know clients look to us to clearly define strategy in laymen’s terms and set realistic expectations. Is that so much to ask?

Questions before we start?

Is Hoopless a marketing agency?

Sort of. We like to think of ourselves as an alternative to the traditional marketing agency. We founded Hoopless because we saw a lot of problems in the industry and a desire for something different. Instead of rate cards, upselling, salespeople, and generic packages built to scale – Hoopless runs the polar opposite. We work the way you do, we don’t have long confusing contracts, and we operate under one flat fee that covers any marketing service you may need or want from us. We believe this offers simpler terms and ensures our efforts are always aligned with your ultimate goals.

What does Hoopless do best?

While we do a lot of stuff, everything revolves around organic visibility. From beautiful custom websites built for engagement, building authority through digital PR, or running digital ad campaigns to boost branded search: we apply leading edge strategies always aimed at driving organic growth and ultimately appearing for the most competitive queries on Google.

PPC vs SEO?

There are two ways to appear on Google: you can pay for traffic, or you can build a strategy to rank organically. PPC, or pay-per-click, is commonly used to refer to Google Ads. With Google Ads, you pay to play. If you stop paying, the traffic and customers come to a halt. SEO, on the other hand, are efforts to rank your business on Google without paying for the traffic. Compared to PPC, SEO typically has much higher margins. Plus, if you stop investing in SEO, that traffic doesn’t disappear overnight. Businesses can sometimes continue to get that traffic for months or years!
