Two things, both at full strength

In Rapid City and the Black Hills: a full local presence.

Radio on the four Haugo Broadcasting stations — KICK 104, 95.1 KSKY, HITS 102.7 and ESPN Rapid City — and digital bought here every day, on real rate cards. This is home, and it is where the whole playbook is proven.

Anywhere else in the U.S.: advertising and websites.

Search, social, display, CTV and OTT, streaming audio, geofencing, YouTube, retargeting and email — planned, bought, optimized and reported for businesses in any city, county, DMA or set of states. Websites are built, hosted and supported anywhere in the country too.

The one thing we don't sell outside the Black Hills is local broadcast radio — streaming audio covers the audio channel anywhere in the country, precisely targeted and fully measured. How out-of-market campaigns work → · See the sources →

Automated Front Desk

Every call answered. Every appointment booked.

An automated front desk that answers your phone 24/7 as your business, replies to texts and emails, books appointments, and sends you a word-for-word transcript of every call. Set up for your business.

  • Answers 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Uses your business name, services, hours, and service area
  • Books appointments and estimates on your calendar

Proof

Proof you can check before you talk to anyone.

Most digital agencies sell only digital. Most radio reps sell only radio. We do both — based out of Rapid City, with access to major Black Hills radio properties and modern digital advertising platforms. That gives your campaign more ways to be seen, more places to be remembered, and a strategy that actually fits your goal instead of the inventory we are trying to clear.

  • Strategy first — not channels first
  • Honest reporting in language you can act on
  • Local market knowledge built in
  • Local + national digital capability
  • Built for local businesses that need practical advertising
  • Backed by real Black Hills audio reach

Radio frequency + digital precision = stronger together

Analytics & reporting

Honest measurement, every month.

Every digital campaign comes with monthly reporting — impressions, clicks, completion rates, conversions, view-through visits, and recommendations. If something is not working, we will tell you.

· 01 ·
Conversions tracked end-to-end

Form fills, calls, store visits, view-through conversions — all the data you need to see what produced results.

· 02 ·
Plain-English explanations

No jargon dumps. Just what worked, what did not, and what we recommend doing next month.

· 03 ·
Recommendations based on data

Every report ends with concrete next-month moves — not vague platitudes about brand awareness.

Sample plan

What a real plan looks like before you talk to anyone.

One worked example, generated by the same planner the site runs — not a mockup, and not a promise about your business.

Home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing) · Calls / inquiries$25,000/mo · Rapid City, SD
Monthly budget split by channel for Home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing) at $25,000 per month in Rapid City, SD
ChannelMonthlyShare
SEM$10,22041%
Meta$7,48030%
Display$3,75015%
Geofencing$3,55014%

At $25,000/mo in Rapid City, SD, the plan puts $10,220 (41%) into SEM and spreads the remaining $14,780 across 3 more channels.

The planner takes four things — your goal, your industry, your market, and your monthly budget — and returns a channel-by-channel dollar split priced on real rate cards, with the real vendor minimums applied. It resolves any U.S. market, it is free, and it asks for nothing before it gives you the number.

What it takes in

Four things: what you are trying to achieve, what kind of business you run, the market you want to reach, and what you can spend each month. The market is resolved to a real place — population inside an actual radius, and the Nielsen DMA it belongs to — not a national average standing in for your town.

What comes out

A channel-by-channel split of your monthly budget, with each channel’s real vendor minimum enforced. A channel that cannot be funded above its contract floor is dropped rather than underfunded, because a token amount in a channel buys nothing and quietly wastes the budget it takes.

Why small budgets concentrate

At a small budget the planner funds few channels, deliberately. Spreading a modest budget across many channels puts too little into each to reach anyone often enough to matter. As the budget grows and the leading channels approach the point where more money stops buying proportionally more attention, the plan widens on its own.

Where radio can run

Local broadcast radio is offered only inside the Black Hills signal footprint, and the planner enforces that by geography rather than by preference — a market outside it never sees radio in a plan, whatever the budget. Streaming audio covers the audio channel anywhere in the country, with tighter targeting and full measurement.

Why you can trust the split

The plan is produced by a rules-based allocator that ranks channels on merit for your goal, industry, market and budget — by the rules, not by hand. Jarrett owns Local Advertising & Marketing and also works as an Account Executive at Haugo Broadcasting, which owns the four Rapid City radio stations the calculator can recommend. The pick is the math, not the sale.

What it costs to use

Nothing, and it asks for nothing. No signup, no email gate, no “book a call to see your results.” You get the number first and decide afterwards whether you want anyone to look at it with you.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does Local Advertising & Marketing actually do?
We plan and run advertising campaigns — digital, radio, streaming audio, CTV/OTT, geofencing, search, social, YouTube, retargeting, and integrated multi-channel programs — and we report on what worked. We also build and host websites. All of it is available to businesses anywhere in the United States. We are based in Rapid City, and local broadcast radio is the one thing we sell only in the Black Hills.
How much should a small business spend on advertising?
A common rule of thumb is 5–10% of revenue, with newer businesses often spending more aggressively to build awareness. The right number depends on your goals, market, and competition. We will recommend a budget that produces enough impressions to actually be seen.
Is radio advertising still effective?
Yes. Local radio still reaches a meaningful share of the daily audience — especially in markets like Rapid City and the Black Hills — and it is one of the most efficient ways to build trust and frequency. It works even better when paired with digital retargeting.
Can you run digital ads only — without radio?
Absolutely. Many of our clients run digital-only programs. The radio side is an option that helps when local familiarity is part of the strategy.
Can you advertise outside South Dakota?
Yes. Digital campaigns can target any geography in the U.S., from a single ZIP to nationwide.
Do digital campaigns include analytics?
Yes. Every digital campaign includes monthly reporting with impressions, clicks, conversions, and recommendations.
