Local SEO, paid media, web, and conversion systems for businesses in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, and Columbia — plus deep-specialty practices for industries we’ve productized our methodology around.
We don’t run a generic playbook on every business. Each Studio practice is the same core system rebuilt for the vocabulary, visual conventions, and buying psychology of one specific industry.
Marketing for the photographer ready to book higher-end couples.
Positioning, SEO, Pinterest discovery, paid-media funnels, and inquiry-to-booking systems, built specifically for wedding photographers in saturated markets.
Practice-area marketing that actually files cases.
Local search dominance, conversion-focused intake, and case-type-specific paid media for solo and small-firm attorneys.
Marketing for the home-services operator who wants a year-round pipeline.
Local SEO, Google Local Services Ads, paid campaigns, and review systems for home-services operators in markets where every weekend is competitive.
Marketing for single-shop to multi-location auto repair.
LSA-led local presence, aggressive review velocity, and Google Business optimization across all locations.
Industry not on the list yet? The parent agency — Advocate 1917 — serves 100+ verticals at the generalist level. We’ll point you to the right side of the house on the call.
The pattern is the same across every Studio practice. The content inside each step is rebuilt for the specific industry you’re in.
Before we touch anything, we audit your specific industry's funnel: how customers find you, how they decide, where you're leaking. The audit isn't a sales tool. It's the work.
We don't run a generic playbook on your business. We run the playbook we've rebuilt for your industry, translated to the vocabulary, visual conventions, and buying psychology of your customer.
The system runs every month: local SEO, paid media, conversion. It compounds because every piece reinforces the others. We measure what matters: qualified inquiries, booking rate, revenue.
The Studio is full-stack on purpose. Marketing systems work best when SEO, paid, web, and conversion are designed together — not stitched across three vendors.
The story your website tells, the language of your pricing, the way your offer is framed. The single highest-leverage work in any marketing engagement.
Full website builds: fast, mobile-first, conversion-focused. Built in-house on our stack, owned by you.
Local 3-pack ranking, GBP optimization, and the on-page work that compounds. Be the first business Tennessee customers see when they search what you do.
Local Services Ads, Google Ads, and Meta. Every channel is a tool in the toolbelt. We mix-and-match per client budget, hands-on buying with no offshore handoffs.
Review velocity systems, response cadence, and recovery work for the businesses whose ranking is being held back by stale or missing reviews.
Speed-to-lead automations layered in where they fit (we won't replace a CRM that's working), plus call tracking so every lead is validated against the campaign that produced it.
We’re based in Spring Hill, Tennessee — running local-marketing engagements across Davidson, Williamson, and Maury Counties. Pick your city for a market-specific breakdown.
Every engagement signs with a written number, a deadline, and a make-good amount. If our campaigns miss the number by the deadline, we cut you a check. No free-forever retainers, no rolling extensions, no “we’ll get them next month.”*
Spend floors, what “qualified” means for your specific market and industry, and minimum engagement length are all documented in writing before we start. We track every call to validate lead flow — full transparency on what your campaigns produce. Full terms in the FAQ.
One client per vertical, per location.
We don’t take competing clients in the same market for the same vertical. When you sign with us, your campaigns are exclusively yours in that area. Specifics get defined on the strategy call.
The name came from how clients described their experience: “You advocate for us. You educate, you listen, and you don’t dismiss our questions.” It stuck.
The 1917 is Proverbs 19:17 — “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” It’s not a tagline. It’s why this agency operates the way it does: every business that talks to us walks away with a better next step than they walked in with — whether or not they hire us.
Advocate Studio is the deep-specialty practice of Advocate 1917 — the parent agency, where the methodology, the team, and the $20M+ in tested ad spend across 100+ verticals all originate. The Studio exists to do two things the parent agency wasn’t optimized for: serve Tennessee local businesses with on-the-ground operator-led marketing, and productize that methodology for specific industries we’ve earned the right to claim deep specialty in.
Same legal entity. Same standard. Same guarantee: qualified leads, or we cut you a check.
Advocate 1917 is the parent agency: generalist, full-service, working across 100+ verticals. Advocate Studio is our deep-specialty practice for industries we've productized our methodology around (wedding photographers today, attorneys and home services next). Same team. Same legal entity (Blashton LLC). Different positioning for clients who want industry-specific systems.
One call. No pitch deck. We’ll look at your local competition, your current funnel, and tell you honestly whether we can help — or who can.
