We're Not Just Marketers. We're Procurement Experts.
Near Me Marketing was founded on a simple belief: established businesses deserve access to recession-resistant revenue channels. With over 20 years of procurement and marketing experience, we bridge the gap between small businesses and government contracting opportunities.
Our Mission
To help established businesses build recession-resistant revenue pipelines by simplifying government contracting registration and positioning them to win consistently.
Our Values
Integrity, expertise, and partnership. We treat every client's success as our own and provide honest guidance backed by decades of procurement experience.
Our Approach
We combine deep government procurement knowledge with strategic marketing to not just register you, but position you to win contracts and build a sustainable pipeline.
From Procurement Officers to Your Partners
Our team has spent over 20 years working inside government procurement systems. We've seen firsthand how complex and intimidating the process can be for established businesses looking to diversify their revenue. We've watched qualified companies miss out on opportunities simply because they didn't know how to navigate SAM.gov or which certifications they qualified for.
That's why we started Near Me Marketing. We wanted to use our insider knowledge to level the playing field. We don't just fill out forms—we provide strategic guidance on market research, bid strategy, and relationship building with procurement officers.
Today, we've helped over 1,000 businesses get registered and have contributed to over $25 million in contracts won by our clients. But the numbers don't tell the full story. We've helped businesses weather economic downturns, enabled entrepreneurs to hire their first employees, and watched veterans turn their service into thriving enterprises.
