Founded Baltimore, MD · 2019
We Built the Agency We Wished We Could Hire.
MH Marketing was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 2019 with a single conviction: that growing businesses deserve access to the same level of performance marketing that enterprise brands use — without the enterprise overhead, the faceless teams, or the 12-month contracts that protect the agency more than the client.

Why MH Marketing Exists
This is not a mission statement written by a committee.
This is the actual reason MH Marketing was built.
Before MH Marketing existed, there was a pattern we kept seeing. A business owner would hire a digital marketing agency, pay $1,500 to $3,000 per month, wait 90 days for results, receive a monthly PDF full of impressions and reach metrics, and eventually fire the agency having spent $10,000 with nothing measurable to show for it. Then they would hire another agency and repeat the cycle. We watched this happen to smart, hardworking business owners over and over again.
The problem was not that digital marketing does not work. Meta Ads and Google Ads and SEO absolutely work — the proof is sitting in our portfolio right now, 50 case studies deep. The problem was the model that most agencies operate on. Account managers juggling 40 clients. Junior staff running campaigns they barely understand. Monthly reports designed to look impressive rather than communicate clearly. And 12-month contracts that protect the agency regardless of whether the client ever sees a return.
MH Marketing was built as a direct response to that model. We are a small, specialist team — and we are small deliberately. Each team member manages a defined number of accounts, never more than they can monitor, optimize, and report on every single week. Every client has direct access to the specialist working on their campaigns — not a salesperson, not a project coordinator, not a chatbot. The actual person who built your campaigns and knows every detail of your account.
We are based in Baltimore, Maryland. We serve clients across the United States. We are proud of both. Being Baltimore-based means we understand local business in a way that a remote-first national agency never fully can. Serving clients nationwide means our methodology has been tested across industries, geographies, and business models that a purely local agency never encounters. That combination — local roots, national scope — is what shapes how we think about marketing.
Five years in, the conviction has not changed. The team is bigger. The portfolio is deeper. The results are more consistent. But the founding principle is exactly the same: every client deserves to know exactly what is happening with their marketing money, every week, from a team that treats their budget with the same care they would apply to their own.
To give every ecommerce brand and local business access to the same level of performance marketing that enterprise companies use — delivered by real specialists who are personally accountable for the results.
Performance First
Every decision we make is measured against one standard: does this drive better results for our clients? Not does it look impressive. Not does it make our reports look good. Does it work.
Total Transparency
Clients know exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what it is producing — every week, not every month. No black boxes. No agency speak. Just honest, clear communication about real numbers.
Long-Term Thinking
We do not use tactics that produce short-term spikes at the cost of long-term stability. Every campaign we build is designed to compound — to be more effective in month 6 than it was in month 1.
We Work With Two Types of Business — and We Are Very Good at Both
MH Marketing does not take every client. We serve two specific business profiles with specialized playbooks for each. Understanding which one you are determines everything about how we approach your marketing.
Ecommerce Brands and Direct-to-Consumer Businesses
You sell products online — clothing, skincare, supplements, home goods, fitness equipment, or anything else — and you need marketing that drives profitable customer acquisition at scale. You care about ROAS, cost per acquisition, customer lifetime value, and total revenue generated from your marketing spend. You are not interested in vanity metrics.
What we do for ecommerce brands:
- Build and manage full-funnel Meta Ads campaigns that scale ROAS
- Manage Google Shopping and Performance Max for product catalog growth
- Build SEO content strategies that generate organic revenue
- Track every dollar of spend against every dollar of attributed revenue
Best fit if you are spending or planning to spend $1,000 to $100,000 per month on paid advertising.
Local Businesses and Service-Area Companies
You serve customers in a specific geographic area — a city, a county, or a defined service radius. Your marketing needs are fundamentally different from an ecommerce brand: you need local visibility, Google Maps rankings, phone calls, walk-ins, and a steady pipeline of local leads. You do not need national reach — you need neighborhood dominance.
What we do for local businesses:
- Optimize Google Business Profile for top-3 Local Pack rankings
- Build and manage geo-targeted Google Ads and Local Services Ads
- Run Facebook and Instagram campaigns targeting local customers by ZIP code
- Build Local SEO strategies that compound organic visibility month over month
Best fit if you serve customers within a defined local area and want measurable growth in calls, walk-ins, and local search visibility.
Not sure which category fits you? Many of our clients are both — a local business with an ecommerce side, or an ecommerce brand expanding locally. We will figure out the right approach together in a free 30-minute call.
Five Years of Building Something We're Proud Of
From 3 clients in Baltimore to 50+ businesses across the United States.
MH Marketing Founded in Baltimore, MD
MH Marketing launched in 2019 with three clients, one conviction, and a deliberate choice to build differently. No offices full of junior account managers. No 12-month contracts. No vanity metric reports. Just direct access to a specialist who knew the account inside and out, and reported on it every week in plain language.
The founding service was Meta Ads — specifically Facebook and Instagram campaigns for ecommerce brands and lead generation businesses. Baltimore was the home base and the first proving ground.
iOS 14 Changed Everything — We Were Ready
The Facebook advertising industry was shaken by Apple’s iOS 14 privacy framework in 2020. Pixel-based tracking was significantly disrupted. Many agencies watched their clients’ ROAS collapse and had no answers.
MH Marketing had been testing Conversions API server-side tracking ahead of the rollout. Every client account was transitioned to server-side conversion reporting before the iOS 14 update fully impacted performance. Our clients experienced a smoother transition than most — and the lesson reinforced our operating principle: prepare for what is coming, not just for what is current.
Google Ads and Local SEO Added by Client Demand
By mid-2021, existing Meta Ads clients were asking MH Marketing to take over their Google Ads accounts and help with their local search visibility. The demand was consistent enough — and the gap in the market clear enough — to justify expanding the service offering.
We did not hire generalist account managers to fill the gap. We brought on a dedicated Google Ads specialist with four years of Search and Shopping campaign experience, and an SEO strategist with a specific focus on local search and Google Business Profile optimization. The expansion took longer than it would have with generalists. The quality of the work made it worth it.
25 Active Clients — First Major Scaling Challenge
2022 was the year MH Marketing hit its first real scaling challenge: 25 active clients with a 4-person team. The temptation was to hire quickly and expand capacity. The choice we made was to cap growth and maintain quality.
We turned down 12 prospective clients in 2022 who were good fits — because taking them would have stretched the team beyond the quality standard we had committed to. That decision cost us short-term revenue. It protected our client outcomes and our reputation. We have not regretted it.
Portfolio Hits $2M in Ad Spend Managed
In 2023, MH Marketing crossed $2 million in cumulative ad spend managed across Meta and Google — a milestone that represents both scale and trust. Clients do not hand over millions of dollars in marketing budget to agencies they do not trust completely.
2023 also saw the addition of the portfolio case study system — structured, verified case studies with platform-exported data — as a response to the opacity that characterizes most agency marketing. Every result we claim is sourced from platform exports and available for verification.
50+ Clients. Same Standard. What Comes Next.
MH Marketing in 2025 serves 50+ clients across ecommerce, home services, legal, healthcare, restaurants, real estate, fitness, and local businesses from Baltimore to California. The team has grown from one to four dedicated specialists. The service offering covers Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and Local SEO.
The standard has not moved. Every client still has direct access to their specialist. Every account still gets weekly Loom walkthroughs. Every result is still verified and documented. The portfolio is now 50 case studies deep. The conviction is exactly what it was in 2019.
What comes next: continued selective growth, expanding the portfolio into new industries, and deepening our methodology in each of the four service lines. We will not become a 200-client agency. We will become a better 60-client agency.

What Our Clients Say About Working With MH Marketing
Verified reviews from Google and Facebook. Unedited.
“We went from 1.2x ROAS to 4.8x in 90 days. MH Marketing rebuilt our entire Meta funnel, fixed our broken pixel tracking, and gave us creatives that actually convert. The weekly Loom walkthroughs made us feel completely in control of our own account for the first time. Best agency decision we have made.”
Sarah M.
“Three restaurant locations, all ranking number one on Google Maps in under three months. Fourteen years in the restaurant business and I have never seen marketing deliver results this fast. Our dining rooms have never been fuller.”
Marcus J.
“312 qualified leads in one month at $14 CPL. We have never seen numbers like that from any channel. What impressed us most was the transparency — we knew exactly what was happening with our money every single week. No more guessing.”
James T.
“Fourteen months of wasted Google Ads spend and MH Marketing fixed it in one week. Month three we hit 284 leads at $11.40 each. I had no idea our account was this broken until I saw their audit. The transparency is what sets them apart — I finally understood what was happening with my own budget.”
David K.
“Organic search went from three percent of our revenue to thirty-four percent in twelve months. $186,000 in tracked organic revenue. We were completely dependent on paid ads before MH Marketing. Now we have an asset that compounds every month. The best marketing investment we have ever made, full stop.”
Christine L.
“MH Marketing got us ranking in twelve cities across Maryland, not just Baltimore. Our cost per lead from SEO is $8.20 versus $67 from Google Ads. We cut our paid budget by forty percent and generate more leads than ever. I wish we had started SEO three years earlier.”
David K.
