Nail Your Marketing Fundamentals.
Upgrade Your Website.
Grow Your Service Business.
We see it time and time again.
Small business owners trying to market their expertise by investing in ads and outreach.
They waste thousands of dollars without driving a cohesive message.
They burn their entire budget driving people to a website that doesn’t convert.
And they get stuck relying on word-of-mouth, staring at a precarious cash-flow forecast, hoping a referral comes in soon.
There is a better way.
And it’s actually quite simple:
Build from the inside out.
Hi! I’m Justin Sarris.
Over the past five years, I’ve refined a three-step process that will position your business to resonate with ideal customers and attract quality leads.
Before starting this company, I spent over a decade in technical roles in media technology and live entertainment. Those years taught me a critical lesson: no matter how great the work is, poor communication can sabotage even the best ideas.
That’s why I designed this process: to help skilled service providers like you connect your expertise with the people who need it most.
What sets me apart from traditional marketing consultants?
I offer a structured, inside-out approach that starts with refining your positioning and messaging, leverages a network of exceptional marketing partners to execute campaigns, and provides clear, measurable reporting.
And with my diverse professional history, I can bridge the gap between technical, creative, and business stakeholders in ways other marketers simply can’t.
Read on to learn exactly how I can help.
Our Process

2
BUILD A WEBSITE THAT RESONATES WITH YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMERS
3
INCREASE CUSTOMER ACQUISITION VIA PAID AND ORGANIC SEARCH
1.
The key is to start with Positioning & Messaging (a.k.a. your marketing foundations).
Positioning is how you define your place in the market—what makes you uniquely valuable given the alternatives available to your ideal customers.
Messaging is how you communicate that value to the right audience.
2.
Then, you need a professional, bespoke website that stands out from your competitors’ and is utterly, truly your own.
In digital marketing, your website is your landing pad — and it’s not worth paying to fly people there if they won’t want to stick around.
Its layout and copy (words) should be informed by the positioning research and messaging work from Step 1.
3.
NOW you’re ready to drive traffic to your website!
For most service-based businesses, the most powerful platform for driving high-intent leads is Google Search — both via paid (Google Ads) and organic (SEO) optimization.
Search queries are a very strong indicator of user intent, and we can target the searches that align with your positioning, messaging, and website.

Success Story
Since we launched its new website in March 2024, cityHUNT’s revenue has grown by 65%.
Its sales team has experienced a drastic reduction in unqualified, time-consuming leads, increasing their close rate by 42% and the company’s return on lead (ROL) by 70%.
Not only are we getting more leads, but they’re the kind of people who truly understand and align with what we’re about. It’s like when people find us, everything just clicks—what they’re looking for and what we offer just fits perfectly.
I’ve had clients tell me they had these ideas, Googled around, and then cityHUNT showed up. And on the calls, there’s a real value matchup happening.
We’re having more of those ‘this is a perfect fit’ moments, and it’s made all the difference.
