About Core6 · Salinas, CA
Core6 has spent nearly two decades helping home service businesses on the Central Coast get found, get calls, and grow. No outsourcing. No account managers between you and the work. Just a focused team that knows this market and owns your results.
About the founder
I started Coastline Marketing Group in 2007 with a simple premise: local businesses deserve marketing that actually works, not reports that look busy while the phone stays quiet.
Since then I've worked with home service contractors and small business owners across the Monterey Bay Area. I know the market, I know the trades, and I know what it takes to generate consistent, qualified leads in this region.
Core6 isn't a big agency, and that's intentional. We don't grow by adding headcount and passing clients down the chain. We grow by building better systems, and I oversee every project so nothing gets lost between the strategy and the work.
If you want someone accountable for outcomes, not just activity, let's talk.

What we do
Most marketing agencies stop at getting your phone to ring. Core6 goes further. We bring in more of the right leads, help your team close more of the ones you already get, and show you what's coming in your market before your competitors see it. Three pillars, one system, built to compound.
Our mission
If your marketing agency isn't delivering real leads and ROI, they're just babysitting your website. We're here to drive measurable results through honest strategy and full accountability.
What we stand for
These aren't brand values on a wall. They're the operating principles behind every campaign, every report, and every client conversation.
When something breaks, we fix it. When goals are set, we hit them, or we tell you exactly why we didn't and what we're changing. We show up, we own outcomes, and we don't disappear when things get hard.
We don't measure success in reports sent or tasks completed. We measure it in leads generated, rankings earned, and booked work you can trace back to your marketing. Every decision is made with that end in mind.
No buzzwords, no sugarcoating, and no inflated metrics designed to make bad results look acceptable. Straight answers, plain language, and honest assessments, whether the news is good or not.
