Rise Marketing HQ is a marketing agency that helps Madison, WI and Dane County businesses with SEO, Google Ads, Google Business Profile and WordPress websites. We're based in Brookfield, not Madison, and your account runs by phone, video and shared reports.
You get one plan, one plain-English report each month, and every call traced back to where it came from. There's no contract; you're free to end it at the close of any month.
Our office is at 19230 West North Avenue in Brookfield, in Waukesha County. We don't have a Madison office, and this page won't pretend otherwise. Remote work is simply how a Madison account runs with us, from the first call to the monthly review.
Your first call is with Christos Karampetsos, Rise's founder since 2020. He's earned seven Semrush Academy certifications that are current today, and he still answers every first call himself. After you sign on, Filipos "Philip" Maziotis manages your account week to week as our project manager. You'll always know which person is doing what.
Behind them is an eight-person team that has run 106+ campaigns for 50+ clients. Rise holds a 5.0 rating from 17 Google reviews.
Each month you get a short report on calls, form fills and search clicks, with a note on what changed and what's next. You can go through it with us on a video call or read it on your own time. If something isn't paying off, the report says so and the plan changes.
You own your website, domain, ad accounts and data from day one. Nothing sits in an account you can't open.
Madison is the state capital, home to UW-Madison and the seat of Dane County. That mix brings a lot of service businesses chasing the same local searches, so doing good work isn't enough on its own. Google has to pick you, and the services below are how you give it reasons to.
For most local searches, a map with three businesses sits above the regular listings. Our local SEO work goes after that spot through your profile, reviews, listings and the website pages that back them up. A good fit if your customers are within driving range of you.
Website SEO means a page for each service you sell, a site Google can crawl without errors, and links from real sources. A good fit if your customers compare a few options before they pick up the phone.
We build and rebuild sites on WordPress, and the finished site is yours. A good fit if your current site is slow, awkward on a phone, or doesn't make clear what you do.
Google Ads puts you at the top of the results while slower SEO work builds. Call and form tracking goes in before your budget starts, so you can see what each dollar brought back. A good fit if you need leads this month rather than next season.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a Dane County customer sees: hours, photos, services and reviews. We keep it accurate and active. A good fit if your calls tend to start on Google Maps.
Buckshot General Contracting is a roofing and general contractor in Madison. We built their website and run their marketing, and they started with Rise in April 2026. The work has been mostly SEO and Google Business Profile, with a Google Ads test that ran for only one to two months. It is the same plan behind our marketing for roofing companies.
In Google Search Console, their monthly clicks went from 213 in April 2026 to 394 in September 2026. Impressions, the number of times Buckshot showed up in search, climbed from 7,916 to 76,237 over that period.
The figure we watch closest is leads. Buckshot went from 1-2 calls a month to more than 20 leads a month: 18+ calls and 10-15 online leads.
Six months is a short window, and one client can't predict how your account will go. Elsewhere in Wisconsin, Lehmann Electrical & Design in Wauwatosa went from 80-110 to 1,500+ organic clicks a month over 12 months, with calls up roughly 600%. More detail is on our results page.
A website project with us starts with a free consultation, not a price list. We look at your current site, the jobs you'd like more of and how customers reach you today. Then we quote the build.
Every site we build runs on WordPress. You own the site, the domain and the accounts behind them, so if you ever leave, all of it goes with you.
The build focuses on a few things your customers notice. Pages load fast on a phone, each service gets its own clear page, and your number is one tap away. Call and form tracking is live on launch day.
If your current site already ranks for something, we map the old addresses to the new pages so a redesign doesn't throw that away. You can read how our web design process works from start to finish.
SEO is slow, and nobody can honestly promise you a ranking. What you can expect from us is a clear picture of the work each month and the numbers that go with it.
It starts with the free 24-hour audit. Then come the fixes: missing service pages, wrong profile categories, duplicate listings, slow pages and tracking that was never set up. Call tracking goes in now, so every later report has a starting point to compare against.
Next, we write or rewrite the pages for the work you want more of and bring your Google Business Profile in line with them. If you serve towns elsewhere in Dane County, we'll talk through whether each one needs its own page.
By month three, you'll have a simple way to ask customers for reviews, and we start earning links from real local sources. Impressions often move before clicks, because Google has to show your pages before people can click on them. Calls tend to follow the clicks.

No. Rise is based at 19230 West North Avenue in Brookfield, and we work with Madison businesses by phone, video and shared monthly reports. Buckshot General Contracting, our Madison client, has worked with us this way since April 2026.

No. Every plan runs month to month, so you can leave whenever a month ends. You own your website, domain, accounts and data, so nothing is held back if you leave.
Most clients never need to. The work runs by phone and video, and Christos Karampetsos takes the first call himself. You get the same people and the same monthly reports as a client based in Brookfield.
Share your web address and tell us which jobs you'd like more of in Madison and Dane County. Within 24 hours you'll get an audit of how your business shows up on Google, and Christos will walk you through it on a call.
