Maverick Marketing is a performance-marketing agency. We deliver web design, SEO, local SEO, paid advertising (Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn), social media, content marketing, branding, email automation, and video production. Nashville-headquartered, founded 2003, 23+ years operating.

Same parent company, same phone number, same Nashville HQ — but Maverick Marketing is the marketing arm and Maverick Endeavors (maverickendeavors.com) is the IT arm. Many clients use both; some use only one.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. We serve clients across all of Tennessee with same-city presence and nationwide via remote-first delivery. Marketing is the right kind of work to deliver remotely — we never need to be in your office to write your content or run your ads.

Maverick Endeavors was founded in 2003. The marketing arm has been operating as a dedicated offering for years within the parent company and was formalized as its own brand more recently. 23+ years of parent-company operating history.

Engagements run from $1,500/month (single-service Foundation tier) to $8,500+/month (Scale tier with full funnel). Most SMB clients land between $3,500 and $8,500/month depending on scope. We provide written quotes after a free 30-minute strategy call.

Industry standard is 12–18% of ad spend, which incentivizes the agency to push your budgets higher. Flat fees align our incentives with your performance, not your media bill. The same campaign that costs you $5K/month or $50K/month in spend pays us the same flat fee — so we optimize for ROAS, not for billable spend.

Foundation tier: 3-month minimum, then month-to-month. Growth tier: 6-month commitment, then month-to-month. Scale tier: 12-month commitment. We require minimums because marketing takes time to compound — we don't want to sign clients we can't serve well.

After the initial minimum (3, 6, or 12 months depending on tier), engagements are month-to-month with 60 days notice to cancel. No multi-year lock-ins, no auto-renewing 24-month contracts.

No. Ad spend goes directly to Google, Meta, LinkedIn, etc. on YOUR payment method. We never touch your media budget — we just manage the campaigns. This is how we keep incentives aligned and how you maintain control of every dollar.

Depends on the channel. Paid ads: 2–4 weeks to launch and start gathering data, 6–12 weeks to optimize to target ROAS. SEO: 4–6 months for noticeable rankings movement, 9–12 months for substantial revenue impact, compounds from there. Local SEO: 6–12 weeks for map-pack improvements. Social media organic: 3–6 months for compounding engagement. Email automation: immediate revenue impact from flows, 60–90 days to build the full system.

We guarantee the work — the deliverables, the strategy, the discipline. We don't guarantee specific outcomes because no honest agency can. Marketing depends on factors outside our control (product-market fit, competitive moves, market conditions, your sales team). What we can guarantee is that you'll have a clear understanding of what's working, what isn't, and why — every month.

Real ones. Revenue, leads, conversion rate, cost-per-acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), customer lifetime value (LTV). We can also report on rankings, traffic, engagement, follower count — but those are leading indicators, not the goal. The work either makes money or it doesn't.

Week 1: discovery — interviews with leadership, audit of existing marketing, access to analytics and ad accounts. Week 2: strategy — written strategy doc with priorities, channel plan, success metrics. Weeks 3–4: setup — tracking, accounts, creative briefs, calendars. Week 5+: execution begins. Full onboarding typically takes 30–45 days before execution work fully ramps.

A dedicated strategist (your primary point of contact) plus the channel specialists who execute the work — designers, copywriters, developers, ad managers. You know everyone on your team and can talk to them directly. No "account manager who relays messages to offshore teams."

Foundation: monthly strategy review. Growth: bi-weekly. Scale: weekly. Plus async communication via Slack or email throughout — we're available during business hours and respond to questions within a few hours, not days.

Yes. Always. Your Google Ads account, your Meta Business Manager, your domain, your website code, your brand assets, your CRM data — all owned by you, set up under your business. If we part ways you keep everything with full administrator access.

Depends on the project. WordPress wins when content workflow and speed-to-launch matter (most SMB sites). Custom PHP or Next.js wins when the use case demands it. Shopify wins for e-commerce. We make the recommendation based on your needs, not based on what we want to build.

Yes. Multi-location local SEO is a specialty — per-location landing pages with unique content and schema, Google Business Profile optimization at scale, geo-grid rank tracking, review management across locations. Whether you have 3 locations or 30, we have the architecture playbook.

Yes. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are part of our standard SEO playbook. We optimize for citations in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI engines via entity markup, structured data, factual content architecture, and authority signal pursuit.

Yes. We have an in-house production team — director, DP, sound, editor, motion designer — running Sony FX cinema cameras and pro audio. Brand films, social Reels, customer testimonials, ad creative, product demos. No subcontracting to freelance crews.
