Start a conversation

We do four things, properly.

4.digital is a search marketing agency. We get you found, we get you chosen, we get you talked about, and we prove it worked.

We work with two kinds of business. Local service businesses, the clinic, the firm, the tradespeople down the road. And companies in regulated markets, where a careless claim can cost you everything.

We work globally and remotely. You talk to the people doing the work, not an account manager reading a script.

If it cannot be measured, we do not sell it.

What we do

Four families of work. Hover or focus a line to see what it is.

Two kinds of business

Local service businesses

The clinic, the firm, the tradespeople down the road. Your customers are close and they search on their phones, usually ready to act. Being found and being chosen are most of the battle, and the reviews finish it.

Clinics. Law firms. Tradespeople. Home services. Automotive. The businesses that keep the lights on everywhere.

Regulated markets

iGaming, fintech, healthcare, law. Your claims are checked before they are published, and your reputation is worth more than any ranking. Everything we ship is built to survive that check.

iGaming. Fintech. Healthcare. Insurance. SaaS. Professional services. Where trust is earned in the details.

Audit

We start with what is true. Your numbers, your market, your competitors. No guesswork dressed up as strategy.

Plan

One plan, four disciplines, one budget. You see it before we spend a penny.

Do

The people who wrote the plan run it. No handover to juniors, no outsourcing.

Prove

Reporting you can read without a translator. If it worked, you will know. If it did not, you will know that too.

Where is it leaking?

A two-minute self-diagnosis. Pick the sentence that sounds like your business and we will show you the fix, and where it lives on this site.

Not enough of the right people find you.

The fix

Start with Be found. A search and AI visibility audit, then the channels that fit your market.

Questions we get asked

Do you work in regulated markets?

Yes. iGaming, fintech, healthcare and law are core to what we do. Claims are checked against your compliance rules, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.

Are you tied to a location?

No. We work globally and remotely, in your time zone. Our clients run from single-site local businesses to groups operating across borders.

How fast will results come?

Paid media within weeks. Search and AI visibility compound over months. Anyone promising page one next Tuesday is lying to you.

Who does the work?

The people you meet on the first call. The strategists and specialists who write the plan are the ones who run it.

What does it cost?

Monthly retainers scoped to the plan, with a fixed price before anything starts. We would rather quote honestly than win a race to the bottom.

How do we start?

A call. We audit first and show you the plan before you commit to anything.

  • Local SEO and the map pack

    How local service businesses actually get found: the map pack, reviews, and the location pages that do the work. No jargon.
