About Growth Ring Media
Owner-run marketing. No middlemen. Clear numbers and work you control.
Why We Exist
The marketing world is built to win whether your phone rings or not. Lead-gen platforms sell the same lead to five companies. The people running your ads get paid more when you spend more, not when you book more. Most of them have never run a crew or made payroll in a slow week. You're not who they're trying to help. You're how they get paid.
We come from your world. Jacob grew up at Blue Mountain Equipment, the #1 STIHL distributor for Texas and Oklahoma, where his dad spent 32 years and he sold saws and gear straight to tree services. Alex ran his own local service business for seven years before selling it, then co-founded MeasureBit, a data and analytics platform built on making the numbers tell the truth.
We learned this the hard way, spending our own money until we figured out what actually moves the needle. So we built the opposite of what burned you: you own your accounts and your leads, we take one tree service per market, and we measure the only thing that counts, booked jobs and revenue.
You do the tree work. We make the phone ring, and we prove it in numbers you can trust.
Our Approach
We build and tune a steady pipeline you actually own. Leads, calls,
estimates, and booked jobs you can see every week.
You work directly with us, not a ticket queue.
Our Team
Jacob runs marketing for tree services and nothing else. He writes The Backcut, read every week by 1,200+ tree service owners, and hosts the Stumped Again podcast, so the questions operators actually ask cross his desk daily. He builds the demand engine, the offers, the ads, and the weekly numbers that keep your phone ringing.
"Know the work. Then market it."
At GRM, Alex designs the operating system every account runs on, keeps the incentives straight, and makes sure the money goes to profit, not noise. Having run his own service business and built a data company, he knows both making payroll and making the numbers tell the truth.
"Make the data honest. Then make the decision easy."
You work directly with Jacob and Alex. Behind them is a team of specialists covering media buying, conversion tracking, creative, and web, so your account has a full bench, not one freelancer juggling ten clients. No ticket queue, no account manager you've never met.
