Dye Media is a performance marketing agency, based in Smyrna, Tennessee, with clients in California. We run Google Ads and Meta ads, handle SEO and AI search optimization, and build websites for businesses in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento and across the state.
The biggest market in the country
California is the most populous state, and by our own Google Trends analysis it accounts for roughly 14% of US searches for marketing, SEO, Google Ads and web design services, the largest share of any state. It is also the state where AI search terms show up most, which makes sense for the home of Silicon Valley.
The state behaves like several countries. Los Angeles and Orange County, San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento and the Central Valley each have their own buyers, price points and competitors. Coastal metros are expensive and crowded; inland markets like Sacramento, Fresno and the Inland Empire often have strong demand with less competition.
What we do for California businesses
- Google Ads and Meta ads built by metro, with hand-reviewed search terms and tracking on every call and form.
- SEO focused on the cities and regions you actually serve, with pages written for real California searches.
- AI search optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your business when Californians ask who to hire.
- Website design: fast, WCAG 2.1 AA accessible, and built to rank.
Privacy-aware tracking
California has the country's strongest consumer privacy laws, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA. Tracking and analytics for California businesses should be set up with that in mind, with clear disclosure and a privacy policy that matches what the site actually collects. For healthcare clients we keep tracking HIPAA compliant with no patient data stored.
