SEO, ads, sites for trades, $15K a month, self-reported in 2023: 97% success

Get X Media is a digital marketing agency selling SEO, advertising, websites, apps and automation to local service businesses. Its $15K a month was reported by the founder in an interview (not independently verified), as of June 10th, 2023.

What it actually sells

Get X Media sells digital marketing, SEO, advertising, websites, hosting, apps and automation services. The site describes it as “Digital marketing for plumbers, electricians, contractors and other service businesses: SEO, Google Ads, websites and social that bring in calls.”

Its stated customer group is plumbers, electricians, contractors and other essential local service businesses. The site calls itself a “Digital Marketing Agency for Essential Service Businesses.”

How it charges

Currency amounts appear on the pages, but none could be tied to the product's own pricing. The product's price could not be identified on the pages we read.

Where customers come from

The pages show a free marketing audit, public service rate cards, Cortex AI mobile app access, and a published client case study for Urban Piping.

What stands out

The service list covers conversion-first custom website design, SEO and AI search optimization, and Google, social and email marketing. The site states: “Be found in Google and in the AI answers your customers ask.”

It also lists Cortex-powered systems that answer, follow up and report, plus custom web and mobile applications built around how a business runs. The site's proof points are 87+ active clients, a 97% success rate, 20+ years in business and a 90-Day Results guarantee.

Corey Hayes founded Get X Media after working as a mechanic, plumber and electrician, and the site describes him as a heavy-duty mechanic, plumber and electrician from Calgary, Alberta who worked industry trades in his early years while building Get X Media, 20+ years on.

Where it sits in the data

Get X Media's $15K a month is higher than 71% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer is a local service business owner who wants more calls and booked jobs. Demand comes from businesses that need leads and follow-up, and distribution would have to be built through trade-focused channels: a free audit offer, public rate cards, published case studies, and direct outreach to plumbing, electrical and contracting firms.

What is hard is delivery at breadth. Offering search, advertising, websites, automation and custom applications at once requires production capacity across several skills, plus reporting and support for every client. Standing out against other agencies going after the same local service businesses would be the other difficulty.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

One thing worth studying is how one stated customer group carries a wide service list: websites, search, advertising, social, email, automation and applications, all tied back to plumbers, electricians and contractors.
