About Broad Lantern Media

A lantern doesn't build the path. It makes sure people can see it.

That's the whole idea behind the name. Your business already does good work, we make sure the customer searching for it right now finds you first, not the competitor with a worse crew and a better Google listing.

How We Got Here

We used to work with a very different kind of client

Broad Lantern Media didn't start out chasing map pack rankings for HVAC companies. Earlier work was mostly with wellness practices and coaches, therapists, healers, people whose whole business was built on trust that's hard to establish online.

What became clear doing that work is that the actual problem is almost never unique to one industry. A homeowner searching for a plumber at 11pm and someone searching for a therapist at 11pm are doing the same thing: they pick whoever feels clearest and most findable in the moment, not necessarily whoever is best at the job.

That's the whole business now. Local SEO and web design for businesses, home service trades especially, who are good at what they do and invisible online. We still do the occasional wellness or coaching site, that instinct for what actually builds trust doesn't go away, but home services is where the focus is.

What We Actually Believe

Three things we won't compromise on

Explain, don't just deliver

If you can't tell us what we did and why it should work, we haven't done our job, a report full of jargon isn't a deliverable.

No long contracts

Plans run month-to-month. If it stops working for you, you shouldn't need a lawyer to leave.

Real numbers, not vibes

Call tracking and rank tracking from day one. You should never have to take our word for whether something's working.

What's Actually Different

Most local SEO agencies say the same things

Here's what that actually looks like in practice, not just in a sales pitch.

Typical Agency
  • Generic template site, swapped logo and colors
  • Reports full of metrics nobody explains
  • 12-month contract before you see a single result
Broad Lantern
  • Built around your actual service area and trade
  • Plain-English reports tied to calls, not just clicks
  • Month-to-month, starting with a free audit
