Marketing Data Analyst
Justin is finishing a Marketing degree at Cal Poly this spring. Where most agencies rely on dashboards and gut feel, Justin sees what others miss through statistical analysis of large datasets.

Most agencies celebrate how much of the map you're covering. We care about which parts of the map actually generate revenue. Watch Ben break down a live ranking analysis for Crown Electric, a local electrical contractor right here in Vancouver, WA.
Ranking in Portland or Scappoose means nothing for a Vancouver contractor. We focus on the zip codes that actually send you customers.
Top 3 in Camas looks great until you realize Vancouver proper has 2x the population and Crown Electric wasn't in the top 10 there.
We show you exactly where you're winning, where you're losing, and what it would take to close the difference.
There are thousands of agencies that will take your money remotely and send you monthly PDFs. Croc's and Clicks is different. Ben lives downtown, works with clients across the I-5 corridor, and has spent six years learning what drives leads in this specific market. That local insight is built into every campaign we run.
From Salmon Creek to the Pearl District, from Salem's healthcare corridor to Olympia's government contracting landscape, we know which channels work, what messaging resonates, and what your local competition is doing.
We can sit down at a coffee shop in Uptown Village, walk your job site, or meet at your office. Remote agencies can't offer that. Face time builds trust, and trust builds better campaigns.
We're PST, same as you. When something needs to move fast, we respond in hours, not the next morning after New York wakes up.
Our reputation lives in this community. Every client we work with is a neighbor, a referral source, and a reflection of our work. We have more skin in the game than any out-of-state agency.
Ben lives and works in the heart of Vancouver. He knows Esther Short, the Waterfront, Uptown Village, and every neighborhood in between.
Six years of campaigns across SEO, PPC, and Meta for contractors and small businesses up and down the I-5 corridor.
We earn your business every month. If something isn't working, we fix it. If you want to stop, you can stop. Simple as that.
Ben trained at Hibu, one of the largest digital marketing agencies in the country, then brought that expertise home to serve local businesses at a level larger firms can't match.
