Why Vello

You have a business to run.

Between jobs, estimates, and customer calls, your Google profile and website slip down the list. Meanwhile, the company that posts every week and answers every review gets the call.

Vello takes that work off your plate. We keep your profile active, your reviews answered, and your website working, and we tell you what's changing in plain English.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Matt.

Here's a little about me, and what you can expect from Vello.

Matt Swartzen, founder of Vello.
Matt Swartzen, Founder of Vello.
  1. 01

    Marketing, websites, and content.

    I've spent over a decade helping businesses show up clearly online. Vello puts all of it to work for home service businesses.

  2. 02

    Started to fix a common problem.

    I kept seeing great local businesses lose calls to competitors who were simply better at Google. That's fixable.

  3. 03

    A clear plan from the first call.

    We'll look at how you show up on Google, tell you what we'd fix first, and if it makes sense, get you started on the same call.

FAQs

More about Vello.

Vello was started by Matt Swartzen and is based in the Sacramento area.

No. We work with home service businesses across the US, and everything we do happens online.

Home service businesses that do good work, want more local customers to find them, and would rather hand off their marketing than learn it.

If you want a promised #1 ranking, or you need paid ads or social media managed, we're probably not the right fit. We'll tell you up front.

So we're never working for your direct competitor. When you grow, it isn't at another client's expense.

We look at how you show up on Google, tell you what we'd fix first, and answer your questions. If it makes sense, you can get started on the same call.
