with a good name in Dexter.

Is yours broken? We'll fix it in 90 days.

Small city, tight community,
and a market that's moving online.
We won't pretend to have a storefront on Ann Arbor Street, our office is in Brighton, about thirty minutes north, and Dexter borders the Pinckney and Hamburg communities we already serve. We know this corner of Michigan: the Huron River lake chain, the trail traffic, the families arriving faster than the town changes. In a place this connected, your reputation already exists. Our job is to make it visible to the people who haven't met you yet.
Neighbors, near enough.
Dexter sits minutes from our Pinckney and Hamburg Township service area, the same Huron River corridor our home county shares. A strategy meeting or a video shoot in Dexter is a short drive, not a scheduled flight.
Word-of-mouth, made durable.
Recommendations at the coffee shop win the customers who hear them. Reviews, local rankings, and real video win everyone else. We turn the first into the second without making you sound like an ad.
Growth without the generic.
Dexter grew into a city and kept its scale. Your marketing can do the same, more reach, more leads, and copy that still sounds like the person who answers your phone.
Your reputation is the foundation.
We build the system on top of it.
Everything we do follows one sequence, because in a market Dexter's size, wasted motion is expensive and trust is the whole game. Here's the sequence.
Listen first
Before we write a word, we learn how your customers already describe you, what they praise, what they ask, and why they picked you over the option in Chelsea or Ann Arbor.
Put the reputation online
Google Business Profile, review flow, and a website that carries your actual voice, so what the town already knows about you becomes what search engines say about you.
Show up where people look
Local search across Dexter and its townships, social that stays present without pestering, and video proof for the people who've never heard your name at the hardware store.
Keep it growing
Plain-English reporting each month, honest calls on what to change, and a system where this year's work makes next year's leads cheaper, not a treadmill of one-off campaigns.
Five years ago, SEO meant ranking on page one of Google. Today, half the time your customers never see a list of links. They ask ChatGPT, they read Google's AI overview, and they get one answer. If your business isn't that answer, it's like you're on the second page of Google.
How we're leading the way with AI search.
We make you the answer AI gives.
When customers ask, AI recommends you.
Your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews and get one recommendation. We structure your website and content so that recommendation is you.
of Google searches now end without a click. The answer arrives before the click does.
AI now answers customers directly. Being that answer is the new page one of Google.
Schema, declarative copy, and topical authority. Your site built so AI can read, trust, and cite it.
When AI recommends you by name, the comparison shopping is already over.

We don't, our headquarters is in Brighton at 142 Brighton Lake Road, Suite 102e, roughly half an hour from downtown Dexter, and honesty about that is kind of our thing. Dexter sits just down the road from communities we already serve, like Pinckney and Hamburg Township, so working with businesses here is a natural extension: on-site when it helps, remote when it's faster.
Pricing is built around your business: its size, its goals, and the scope of the systems you need. Single projects like a website or brand identity are priced flat; ongoing marketing is a monthly partnership, and most clients invest between $2,500 and $10,000 per month depending on how fast they intend to grow. After your initial strategy session you'll get a detailed proposal in writing, so you know exactly what you're getting before anything begins. Never a surprise invoice.
Western Washtenaw and the lake country just north of it: Dexter, Chelsea, Webster Township, Whitmore Lake, and over the county line into Pinckney and Hamburg Township, plus Ann Arbor and the rest of our Southeast Michigan service area. If your customers drive Dexter-Pinckney Road or North Territorial, we cover them.
Leveret Drive is a full-service marketing agency offering branding, website design, SEO and AI search optimization, social media management, graphic design, paid advertising (PPC), and video production. Everything is built to work together, not as a disconnected campaign. Most choose to benefit from the full marketing system, but some choose one service and grow from there.
It varies by channel. Paid ads generate data and leads within weeks; SEO and AI search visibility typically build over three to six months; branding pays off from day one and keeps paying for years. We set honest timelines by channel up front so you always know what to expect and when.
AI search optimization is the practice of structuring your website so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity cite your business when people ask them for recommendations. A growing share of buyers now research through AI before ever visiting a website, if your business isn't structured to be found there, you're invisible in those moments. We build it into every website we make.
Yes. For a small city like Dexter, the local stack is the highest-leverage marketing there is: a tuned Google Business Profile, a steady flow of reviews, accurate citations, and location pages that rank for Dexter and the townships around it. We set it up, maintain it, and report on what it produces.
We work with all types of businesses, and our deepest expertise is in the trades and home services, medical, dental and wellness practices, legal and financial offices, and other companies whose growth runs on reputation. If your best customers come from referrals and you want that engine working online too, we are built for you.
No, we earn the partnership month over month. Projects are scoped with clear deliverables and timelines, and ongoing work continues because it's producing results, not because a contract traps you. Every agreement spells out scope, terms, and how changes are handled before you sign.
We track the metrics that connect to revenue, leads, calls, bookings, and sales, not vanity numbers. You get plain-English reporting on what we did, what it produced, and what we're adjusting next, so you always know exactly what your marketing is returning.
Yes, small and mid-sized businesses are who we serve best. Businesses with excellent reputations and word-of-mouth deserve marketing that matches, and our strategies are sized to real budgets and real teams, whether you're local to us or anywhere else.
Whenever it helps. We're about thirty minutes away, and video shoots always happen on site. Strategy sessions and check-ins can be at your shop, at our Brighton office, or on a call, whatever fits how you like to work.
We'll chat through your goals, review where your marketing stands today, and identify your biggest opportunities. You'll leave the call with solid suggestions you can act on whether you hire us or not.
Absolutely. Not everything needs a rebuild, we often refine what's working, fix what isn't, and fill the gaps. If a full redesign genuinely serves you better, we'll tell you why and show you what it changes before you commit to anything.
We build marketing systems, not one-off campaigns, brand, website, content, and ads designed to work together. We set realistic expectations instead of overnight promises, put plans in writing, and treat your business like a partnership: your reputation earned the trust, our job is to make sure the market can see it.
