In their own words

Every client came to us with a version of the same problem.

Core6 Marketing has spent more than 20 years building digital marketing systems for businesses on the Central Coast, from home service contractors in Salinas to nonprofits in Monterey, professional services firms in the Pajaro Valley, and everything in between. Each one came to us with a website that wasn't working, search rankings that weren't moving, or a marketing spend that wasn't producing.

What follows are real outcomes, told in our clients' own words. Some needed a complete website rebuild. Some needed search campaigns that actually drove calls. Some needed both. What they have in common is that they stopped guessing and started seeing results.

Website design and hosting

Websites that finally reflect the business behind them.

Pest Control Company Gets a New Site and Stronger Search Rankings in One Campaign

Problem
West Pest Co had limited online visibility and needed both a professional website and a search presence that could compete locally, without managing two separate vendors or two separate timelines.
Approach
Core6 built the website and the SEO campaign together, launching a clean optimized site and a local search strategy at the same time. Phil walked the team through every decision with detailed explanations and video walkthroughs.
Result
Rankings improved quickly after launch and overall visibility increased significantly compared to where they started. Running both together compressed the timeline and removed the friction of starting from zero.

Result
The finished site hit the professional standard the team was looking for, and with maintenance in place, they don't have to think about it again.

Problem
Dan's corporate website was crashing repeatedly and running on an outdated version of WordPress. Every outage was a risk to the business, and there was no reliable technical support in place.

Result
The site stopped crashing. Ongoing hosting and maintenance meant the client no longer had to worry about technical vulnerabilities or outdated software.

I feel much more comfortable knowing Core6 is handling our corporate website needs.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Do you work with businesses outside of home services?

Many of our clients are home service contractors, and that's where our deepest expertise is. But as the stories on this page show, we've also helped nonprofits, professional services firms, and local businesses across the Central Coast. If you're a local business owner who needs a website that works and marketing that drives results, we're worth a conversation.

How long before I start seeing results from SEO?

Most clients see their first measurable ranking gain within 30 days. Fuller results build over the following months as content, citations, and on-page optimization compound. Google Ads can start generating calls right away while the SEO foundation builds.

What does working with Core6 actually look like?

Phil oversees every project, with no account managers or junior staff acting as a go-between. You get monthly performance reports, ongoing optimization, and responsive communication throughout. Several clients featured on this page have worked with us for five years or more because the relationship works.

Can you help if I've had a bad experience with another agency?

Yes, and it's one of the most common situations we see. The two biggest frustrations are lack of communication and results that never materialize. We address both directly: regular reporting, a team that answers when you call, and campaigns built around measurable outcomes rather than retainer fees.

How do I show up when homeowners ask AI tools like ChatGPT?

AI tools recommend the business they have the most consistent, credible evidence for: your website, your reviews, directory listings, press mentions, and content that answers real questions. Core6 builds that evidence across every channel, so you're visible on Google and in AI answers.

Your competitors are getting found. Make sure you are too.

Whether you need a new website, stronger search rankings, or a paid campaign that drives calls, Core6 Marketing builds marketing systems that produce measurable results on the Central Coast.
