Marketing agency in Tampa for contractors and service businesses
Scusa Media is a marketing agency for Tampa and Hillsborough County businesses, with a specialty in contractors, home services and e-commerce. We build ads, websites, CRM follow-up and SEO as one connected system and report in booked jobs. Tampa Bay is one of the fastest growing parts of Florida, and after Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 it is also one of the most storm-aware. We serve it remote-first from Auburn Hills, Michigan, with visits as needed.
How we work in Tampa
- Remote-first from Auburn Hills, Michigan: strategy calls on video, visits as needed, video shoots coordinated with your crew or a local shooter we book
- Growth areas first: Riverview, Wimauma, Wesley Chapel and Land O' Lakes, where new homeowners have no contractor yet
- Storm and flood response plans for roofing, restoration and mitigation companies, built before the season
- English and Spanish follow-up where it pays; about one in four Hillsborough residents speak Spanish at home

Results from clients like yours
Tampa Bay keeps growing
Hillsborough County grew about 7.9 percent from 2020 to 2025, and Pasco County, just north, grew about 15.4 percent, by University of Florida estimates. Much of that growth lands in Riverview, Wimauma, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes and along I-75. New neighborhoods mean new homeowners who need an AC company, pest control, a pool service, a fence, a landscaper and a roofer, and they find all of them online.
That makes Tampa a good market to win customers early. The first company with a strong Google Business Profile, steady reviews and a service page for the new community gets the call, and then the neighbors' referrals.
The economy is broad. Port Tampa Bay, Florida's largest port by tonnage, was measured at $34.6 billion in economic value and more than 190,000 jobs. MacDill Air Force Base hosts the headquarters of US Central Command and US Special Operations Command, so military families move in and out every year. Hillsborough also drew more than 28 million visitors in 2025, by Visit Tampa Bay's count. Home services, business services and hospitality all have steady demand.
After Helene and Milton
In September 2024, Hurricane Helene pushed a 5 to 7 foot storm surge into Tampa Bay, and about two weeks later Hurricane Milton made landfall at Siesta Key, south of the bay, according to National Hurricane Center reports. Many homeowners who had never thought about flood risk, roof age or generators now do.
For roofing, restoration, mitigation, generator, impact window and drainage companies, that changes the message. Homeowners want an inspection before the season, honest answers about what their roof and home can take, and a company that picks up the phone when the next storm comes. NOAA forecast a below-normal 2026 season and Tampa Bay had no landfall as of early November. Quiet stretches like this are when to build reviews and trust for the next busy year.
Florida rules apply to every storm ad: your license number in each ad, and for roofers, no ads that push homeowners to file insurance claims and no gifts or deductible waivers for an inspection. Florida also gives homeowners extra time to cancel some roofing contracts signed during a declared state of emergency. We build storm campaigns to those rules.
Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel and the rest of the bay
South Hillsborough, including Brandon, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin and Sun City Center, mixes new subdivisions with established 55-plus communities. AC, pest, pool and lawn companies win here with Local Services Ads, Google Maps and reviews that mention the community by name.
North of the city, Wesley Chapel, Lutz, Land O' Lakes and New Tampa are newer and growing fast. Fences, pavers, screen enclosures, gutters and solar are common first projects for new homeowners, and Meta video with financing offers reaches them well.
Inside Tampa, South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Westchase and Carrollwood have older homes, so the jobs are repairs, remodels and replacements. Plant City and east Hillsborough are more rural, with farm and land work. Our St. Petersburg page covers Pinellas County, and our Florida page covers Sarasota and Bradenton.
What a typical Tampa campaign looks like
Month one: tracking, a CRM that texts every lead within a minute, a cleaned-up Business Profile with every service area, and landing pages for your top three jobs. Then one channel goes live, usually Local Services Ads for repair trades or Google Search for project trades.
Months two and three: Meta ads with a seasonal offer, community pages for the growth areas you serve, and review requests after every job. Tampa is a competitive market for contractor marketing, so we lean on what competitors cannot copy: your reviews, your real job photos and a fast first reply.
By day 90 you see cost per booked job by channel and decide where to spend more.

Tampa marketing agency questions
Do you have an office in Tampa?
No. We are headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and serve Tampa Bay remote-first. Strategy calls run on video, we visit as needed, and video shoots are coordinated with your crew or a local shooter we book.
How much does a marketing agency cost in Tampa?
Clutch's Tampa listings mostly show $100 to $149 an hour, with minimum projects from about $1,000 to $5,000 and up. Most clients we work with invest $2,000 to $6,000 a month in agency fees plus ad spend, scoped to the business. Every agreement is tailored. Our Florida agency cost guide has the full breakdown.
What should a Tampa roofer do differently after Helene and Milton?
Plan the year before the storm. Run inspection and prevention offers in spring, build storm response campaigns and keep them paused, answer every call within minutes, and keep ads about the inspection and the repair, not the insurance claim. Our hurricane season guide has the full plan.
Do you work with businesses in Pasco County and Wesley Chapel?
Yes. Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Zephyrhills and New Port Richey are part of the Tampa Bay market, and Pasco is one of the fastest growing counties in Florida.
Should Tampa ads run in Spanish?
Test it. About one in four Hillsborough residents speak Spanish at home, and more in some neighborhoods. A separate Spanish campaign and landing page, with Spanish follow-up, is worth a one-month test for most home service trades.
