Be the first call, not the fourth.
When somebody nearby searches for what you do, one company gets called first. I build the website and run the ads that make that you, and I track every call so you can see it working.
One person handling both the marketing and the code, so the two actually line up. Based in Vancouver, WA.

Gutter Cleaning in Vancouver, WA | Your Business
yourbusiness.com/gutter-cleaning
One search, five places you could be showing up. Most local businesses own one or two of them.
Who this is for
Local businesses that sell a real service in a real service area, where one more job a week is worth having.
Home services & trades
Cleaning, gutters, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping. Businesses that live or die on local search and the phone ringing.
Local contractors
Remodelers and specialty trades with a real service area and a job value high enough that one extra lead a week matters.
Exterior & seasonal services
Pressure washing, tree and landscape work, holiday lighting. Trades where demand arrives in windows and the calendar decides the budget.
Probably not a fit if you're pre-revenue, selling nationally with no local footprint, or after someone to post on social media. Medical, dental and veterinary practices are out too, for reasons I explain on the industries page. All honest work, it just isn't this.
What I do
Four things. Most people start with one or two, and you deal with me for all of them.
Getting found on Google
When somebody nearby searches for what you do, you come up instead of a competitor. Unlike ads, it keeps working after you stop paying. This grew one home services company's traffic 12x.

Every call and form gets traced back to the job it turned into, so you can see what a lead actually cost you and shut off the half that isn't paying.
Read moreA website that books jobs
Loads fast on a phone, says what you do in the first three seconds, and makes calling you the easiest thing on the page. Built to grow with you rather than be thrown out in two years.
Read moreFollow-up that happens without you
New leads hit your phone in seconds, review requests go out after every job on their own, and the software you already pay for stops needing anyone to retype things between it.
What it comes to
Websites are priced by the page and start at $2,825. Ongoing work starts at $400 a month. Ad spend is paid straight to Google, never through me.
12x organic traffic for All Seasons Cleaning Services.
Before starting this, I ran the marketing and built the software for All Seasons Cleaning Services, an exterior home services company here in Vancouver: roofing, gutters, pressure washing, tree work, and about two dozen other services. I rebuilt their website around the things people actually search for, and their traffic from Google grew 12x over the 19 months that followed.
The ads were the visible part. The part that mattered was tying every call and form back to the job it turned into, so the question stopped being how many clicks we got and became which campaigns paid for themselves. That is the same setup you get.

All Seasons Cleaning Services
12x organic trafficExterior home services across 23 cities in WA and OR: roofing and gutters through to pressure washing, tree work, and painting. Full digital operation: site, technical SEO, Google and Microsoft Ads, and the automation behind the lead flow.
Heatwave LLC
HVAC installation and service across Vancouver and the Portland metro. The owner needed work coming in, not a rebrand, so the scope stayed deliberately small: a site built to turn visits into quote requests, and Local Services Ads as the only paid channel behind it. You pay per lead instead of per click, Google screens the caller first, and the ones that were never real get disputed rather than absorbed.
In progress
A new client build is underway. Details go up here once it launches.
Coming soonHow it works
Four steps, from the first phone call to a site that's live.
We talk
A short call about your business, what you're trying to fix, and whether I'm the right person for it.
You get a quote in writing
Exactly what I'm building and what you'll pay, before anything starts. Nothing shows up on an invoice you didn't agree to.
I build it
You see it as it comes together and tell me what to change. Nothing goes live until you're happy with it.
It goes live, and I keep it working
The site launches and the ads turn on. Every month you get a report of what came in and what it cost you.
Who you're working with
I'm David Bratkov. I have a computer science degree from Washington State University, and I spent the last year running both the marketing and the software for a home services company here in Vancouver: the website, the tracking, the ad accounts, and the automation behind all of it.
Most agencies are either marketers who hire someone else to build the site, or developers who hand you a site and wish you luck getting traffic. I do both, so the tracking is built in from day one instead of bolted on later by whoever comes next.
You work with me directly. No account manager, no junior, and nothing sent offshore. That also means I only take a few clients at a time, which is the honest tradeoff.
Bratkov Digital LLC is a registered Washington State limited liability company serving Vancouver, WA, Camas, WA, Battle Ground, WA, Ridgefield, WA, Salmon Creek, WA, and Portland, OR. The work is remote-friendly, so if you run a local business anywhere in the US, distance isn't the problem.
Common questions
If yours isn't here, ask it in the form below.
Do you work with businesses outside Vancouver, WA?
Yes. Local advertising is the specialty, not the limit. Clients around Vancouver and Portland get the option of meeting in person, but the work is remote-friendly and I take on businesses anywhere in the US. What matters is that you sell into a service area, not that your service area is near mine.
What does a project cost?
Websites are priced by the page: $2,000 for the setup that happens on every build, then $275 a page to rebuild the site you already have, or $400 a page for one designed from scratch. So moving a 3 page site starts at $2,825. Packages start at $2,825 for Get Found, $4,025 for Fill the Schedule, and $6,025 for Grow Without the Headache, each with a monthly figure for ongoing work. Ad spend is separate and paid straight to Google, so the monthly figure is management only. Tell me what you're trying to fix and you'll get a real quote in writing.
How long does a website take?
It depends on scope, and I'd rather scope it than guess at it. A focused marketing site moves faster than anything with integrations or custom functionality, and how quickly photos, content, and account access come back has as much effect on the date as the build does. You get a timeline in writing before any work starts, and it's the one I hold myself to.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Build work is scoped per project. Ongoing ad management and automation work runs month to month, because the results should be the reason you stay.
Do I own the website and the ad accounts?
You do, completely. The code, the domain, the hosting, the Google Ads account, and the analytics all live under your ownership and your billing. If we ever stop working together, you keep everything and nothing gets held hostage.
Can I update the site myself?
I don't build custom content systems, because they age badly and you end up maintaining software instead of running your business. What I do instead is connect the site to the tools you already use. If your jobs, quotes, or reviews live in something like Jobber, that data can feed the site directly, so it stays current without anyone editing pages by hand.
Who supplies photos and content?
Photos come from you, and the easiest source is whatever your crews already shoot on the job, CompanyCam or similar. Real photos of your own work outperform stock every time. Logo and brand design are out of scope, so if you need those, they're worth handling before a build starts.
