We don't
just talk.
We deliverAutomotive.

It depends on the scope, but we're transparent about it. Managed SEO starts at $2,500/month. Paid ads management starts at $1,500/month plus ad spend. A launch website is $2,500 flat. Automotive marketing retainers start at $3,000/month. We'll give you a clear number after a 30-minute discovery call. No multi-meeting sales process.

Yes. About half our dealer clients are outside Texas. SEO, Google Ads, VLAs, and Meta campaigns are managed the same way whether you're in Dallas or Denver. We've managed campaigns in 22 states. For dealer website projects, we work remotely with your team and can be on-site for launches if needed.

Paid ads (Google, Meta) typically show initial data within the first 2 weeks and optimize over 60 to 90 days. SEO is a longer play. Most clients see meaningful movement in 3 to 6 months, with compounding results after that. We set realistic timelines during discovery and report progress monthly so you always know where things stand.

Three things. First, automotive is our specialty. We've spent 15 years in dealership marketing and speak the language (VLAs, DMS integrations, co-op, floor traffic). Second, we build our own software and AI tools, so we're not just reselling someone else's platform. Third, our average client stays 4.2 years. We don't churn and burn.

It's where we cut our teeth. Our founder spent his early career running marketing for dealer groups before launching Think Cre8tive in 2011. Fifteen years later, automotive is still about 40% of our book. We know the systems (DealerSocket, VinSolutions, Dealer.com), the channels that actually move metal (VLAs, Meta inventory ads, OEM co-op programs), and the math (cost per VDP, ROAS by source, floor traffic attribution). When a dealer principal calls us, we don't need a 30-minute orientation on how their business works.

Absolutely. Most clients start with one pillar (usually SEO or paid ads) and expand once they see results. There's no pressure to buy a bundle. We'll recommend what makes sense for your budget and goals, even if that means starting small.

We work on month-to-month agreements after an initial 90-day onboarding period. The 90 days gives us enough time to set up tracking, launch campaigns, and show you real data. After that, you stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.

Yes. We offer a free Website & SEO Audit that shows exactly where you're losing traffic and leads. We also offer a free 30-minute strategy call to talk through your goals and see if we're the right fit. No pitch decks, no pressure.

We work across automotive dealerships, home services, legal, medical, ecommerce, nonprofits, multi-location brands, and B2B SaaS. Automotive is our deepest specialty (about 40% of our client base) but the strategies and systems we've built apply across every vertical.

A few. We've been named Best Advertising Agency in Dallas/Fort Worth for 11 consecutive years (2016 to 2026). We won a 2024 Netty Award for TacticalFleet.com, the dealer site we built for one of our automotive partners. We're proud of the recognition, but the metric that actually matters to us is client retention. Our average engagement runs 4.2 years.
