Saline used to be the farm town at the end of Michigan Ave. Now it's one of Washtenaw County's fastest-growing communities — and the businesses that built their names here, on a good reputation and a downtown storefront, suddenly compete with Ann Arbor firms for the same customers. Leveret Drive is a full-service marketing agency headquartered in Brighton, about thirty-five minutes up the road. We help Saline service businesses turn a strong local name into a working system: a website that ranks, ads that reach the right households, and a presence that holds its own against bigger budgets from up US-12.
Our headquarters is in Brighton — no Saline office, and we won't invent one. But we're close: about thirty-five minutes door to door, near enough to walk Michigan Ave with you, shoot video at your shop, and understand what it means to market in a town where the Celtic Festival still fills downtown but half your new customers arrived within the last five years. Saline's mix of old roots and new rooftops is exactly the kind of market a real strategy is built for.
We're a Michigan team up the road in Brighton — close enough for kickoff meetings at your place, on-site video days, and a genuine read on southern Washtenaw County. Not a national vendor working your account from three states away.
Brighton lived the same story — a small downtown absorbing waves of new families. We've watched what that does to a local market: search volume jumps, loyalties reset, and the businesses that show up online win the newcomers.
Ann Arbor firms are already advertising into Saline. You don't beat them on budget — you beat them on focus: tighter geography, sharper positioning, and local proof they can't fake.
You work directly with the people doing the work. No hand-off to a junior team after the sales call, no ticket queue — a small senior team that knows your business and answers the phone.
Start with the one thing you need most, or hand us the whole operation. Every piece is built on the same principle — strategy before spend, systems before scale — so nothing you buy works against anything else.
Paid search and social aimed at the households actually inside your service area — Saline, Pittsfield, York Township — with honest reporting and no minimum spend. Focus beats budget.
Learn more →A fast, conversion-built site that ranks for Saline searches — including the "near me" queries new residents type the week they move in — and gets picked up by AI answer engines too.
Learn more →From a logo refresh to a signage-ready brand system — design that makes a Michigan Ave storefront or a home-services truck look like the established name it actually is.
Learn more →Testimonials, brand stories, and social clips filmed at your place of business. Nothing earns trust with new-to-Saline customers faster than watching real people do real work.
Learn more →One flat engagement covering strategy, execution, and reporting — a complete marketing department for a growing Saline business, without adding a single head to payroll.
Learn more →Consistent, on-brand posting and community management that keeps you part of Saline's local conversation — from Celtic Festival weekend through the slow months of winter.
Learn more →Every new subdivision off Michigan Ave is a wave of customers with no loyalties yet. The businesses that capture them aren't the loudest — they're the ones whose foundations were in place before the wave arrived. That's the order we work in.
Who's moving into Saline, how they search, who you're really competing against — including the Ann Arbor firms advertising into town. Strategy starts with facts.
Website, Google Business Profile, reviews, and tracking — the unglamorous groundwork that determines whether anything else you spend money on can work.
When someone new to town searches for your service, you appear — in the map pack, the organic results, and the AI answers — for Saline and every township you serve.
Clear monthly reporting, honest course corrections, and a system that compounds — so every year of Saline's growth adds to your lead flow instead of your competitors'.
We work across southern Washtenaw County — Saline and the towns and townships that share its customers.
Downtown Michigan Ave, the US-12 corridor, and the new neighborhoods growing out from both.
The State Road corridor into Pittsfield Township and Ann Arbor — where much of Saline works and shops.
Ypsilanti and its townships — the eastern half of the Washtenaw County service market.
South down Platt and US-23 — Milan, York Township, and the county-line communities.
West along Austin Road to Manchester and the rural townships of southwestern Washtenaw.
No. Our office is in Brighton, Michigan — 100 Orndorf Drive #34, about 35 minutes north of Saline — and we'd rather tell you that than fake a local address. We serve Saline businesses the way we serve our home county: in-person meetings and video shoots at your location when it matters, efficient remote work the rest of the time.
All of southern Washtenaw County and beyond: Saline itself, Pittsfield and York Townships, Milan, Manchester, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor. Our broader service area covers Southeast Michigan from our Brighton headquarters, so wherever your customers are, we can follow them.
Typically within a week or two of signing. Every engagement opens with a short strategy phase so the work is aimed before it starts. Quick wins — Google Business Profile cleanup, tracking, ad fixes — usually land in the first few weeks, while larger builds like a new website generally run six to ten weeks depending on scope.
One-time projects — a website, a brand system — are quoted as fixed prices. Ongoing marketing is a flat monthly engagement built around outcomes, not hourly billing. Depending on how much of the marketing we take on, most of our service-business clients land between $1,500 and $10,000 per month, and you'll know the exact number before anything kicks off.
Yes. Brighton to Saline is an easy drive, so kickoffs, quarterly reviews, and video shoots regularly happen at your location. Day to day, most collaboration runs remotely because it's faster for everyone — but you'll never have to ask us twice to show up.
Every month, new families arrive in Saline and pick their plumber, dentist, lawyer, and landscaper — usually from a search result. If you'd like more of those choices to land on you, start with a free 30-minute strategy session. No pitch, no pressure: we'll map where you stand in local search today, what the growth around you actually means for your business, and the first three moves we'd make.
