Our "One Goal" Philosophy: Your Growth
The traditional agency model is often misaligned. You pay a hefty monthly retainer whether you get incredible results or just a fancy report. We think that's broken.
At River Valley Digital Solutions, we decided to build a partnership model where our success is inextricably linked to yours. We're so confident in our ability to deliver that we put our own skin in the game. Simply put: we don't get paid our consulting fee until your campaigns are profitable. Our one and only goal is your success.
How Our "One Model" Partnership Works
1 You Fund the Engine (Your Growth Budget)
You're always in control of the direct costs. You set a "Growth Budget" that covers the hard costs required to run your campaigns – things like your actual ad spend on Google or Facebook, or specific marketing software licenses. This entire budget goes directly to the tools working for you, not into our pockets as a fee. We'll provide a clear plan and advise on a starting budget that makes sense for your goals.
2 We Provide the Expertise & Elbow Grease
This is our upfront investment in you. The River Valley Digital Solutions team provides the comprehensive strategy, the campaign creation, the content development, the data analysis, and the day-to-day management across all five pillars of our expertise. We do the work to build and run your marketing engine.
3 We Share in the Success (The "One Price" Method)
This is where our partnership comes to life. Once your campaigns become profitable – meaning they are generating more revenue than your Growth Budget costs – we simply share in that success. Our consulting fee is a pre-agreed percentage of the net profit generated from our collaborative marketing efforts. If the campaigns don't generate a net profit, we don't take a commission. It's that simple.
A transparent, 12-month partnership journey designed for sustainable growth and true empowerment.

Your Questions, Answered
A few common questions we hear from ambitious business owners.
Think of it this way: SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of earning organic, free traffic by making your site valuable and trusted by search engines over time. SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is a broader term that includes SEO but also incorporates paid strategies, like Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads, to gain immediate visibility.
While some paid campaigns can show results within days, building a truly sustainable marketing engine takes time. Foundational SEO can start showing progress in 3-6 months, but often takes a solid year to establish strong authority. The key is consistent, smart effort, which is why we focus on a long-term partnership model.
Yes, 100%. For any business with a local component, your GBP is arguably your single most important digital asset for local visibility. It's your digital storefront on Google Maps and in local search results, and it's often the first interaction a local customer has with your brand. Keeping it fully optimized and active is a non-negotiable for local success.
