We build fast, affordable websites for local service businesses across Syracuse and CNY. Template-based for quick turnarounds. Priced for tradespeople and small business owners. Built to rank locally and get your phone ringing.
Built by a Syracuse University alum with roots in CNY and years of experience helping local service businesses get found online and book more work. We know what it takes because we lived it.
Get a Free Consultation →Built my first real website for a local business - my dad's. Watched a hardworking guy who did great work get more calls, more consistent jobs, and eventually retire early just by showing up online. That was the beginning of everything.
Graduated from SU and headed to New York City. Spent five years in marketing and sales at tech startups - building systems, generating leads, and learning how digital strategy actually moves the needle for a growing business.
While still in NYC, Thompson Marketing started taking shape. A fishing charter service needing tourist visibility and a property management company in Colorado gave us early proof the model worked beyond family.
The business was growing consistently on the side. Left NYC, came home to Syracuse, and committed fully to building the agency. The best decision we ever made.
Over 100 local businesses served across plumbing, landscaping, contracting, hospitality, and more. Rooted in CNY, nationally capable, and still driven by the same mission we started with.
We learned this by helping a real local service business get found online and book more work. That experience is baked into everything we build.
Most agencies take months. We launch most sites in two weeks. Every week your old website is up is a week you're losing calls to a competitor with a better one.
No jargon, no upselling, no disappearing after launch. We tell you straight what your site needs and what it will cost, then we deliver it.
Prices are posted publicly. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. No monthly charges unless you specifically sign up for ongoing services.
We went to school here and grew up in this market. CNY contractors and service businesses are who we built this for.
Most of our best client relationships started as a single website. When your business grows and you want more, we are here to add SEO, social media, and whatever else you need.

Real businesses. Real results. Here is what happened after we built their sites.
"Before Thompson Marketing built our site, we were struggling to fill vacancies. Within weeks of launching we saw a real increase in rental applications and started attracting better quality tenants. The site looks professional and actually converts."
"The yard has been busier than ever. We are getting real inbound calls from people who found us online every single week. It used to be all word of mouth. Now Google is sending us business consistently."
"I booked over 40 fishing trips before my boat even hit the water this season. All from the website. Best investment I made for the business."
