Privacy rules in Montana
The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act took effect on 1 October 2024 and was amended in 2025 to lower its thresholds and strengthen protections. Residents can opt out of targeted advertising and data sales, and universal opt-out signals must be honoured.
Example: a Whitefish lodge near Glacier
Early-booking campaigns in winter, Instagram content, brand search protection and clear information about park access and reservations.

Digital marketing services for businesses in Montana
Every engagement is built from the same components — chosen and weighted for your category, budget and customers in Montana. Most clients start with two or three of these and add more once the economics are proven.
Performance Marketing
Full-funnel paid media run against your margins. We set break-even ROAS and a target cost per acquisition first, then plan Google, Meta and other channels around what customers in Montana actually respond to. Budgets move every week toward whatever produces the cheapest incremental sales or qualified leads — not the loudest platform numbers.
Google Ads
Search, Performance Max, Shopping, YouTube and Demand Gen campaigns built around high-intent searches in Montana. We fix conversion tracking first, separate brand from non-brand, use location and language targeting deliberately, and report on cost per qualified lead or sale rather than clicks and impressions.
Meta Ads
Facebook and Instagram campaigns driven by creative testing — new hooks, formats and offers every week — with the Conversions API for reliable signals and audiences shaped for Montana. Lead campaigns route straight to WhatsApp or your CRM so your team can follow up within minutes.
Amazon Ads
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Display campaigns, listing optimisation and retail-media reporting for brands selling on Amazon in Montana, managed against TACoS and contribution margin.
SEO
Technical SEO, content and authority building aimed at the searches buyers in Montana make before they contact a business. We fix crawl, speed and indexing problems first, then build service, location and comparison pages that can rank in Google and be cited in AI answers.
AEO & GEO (AI Search)
Answer engine and generative engine optimisation: answer-first content, clear entity information and structured data that help your business appear in Google's AI features, ChatGPT and other assistants when buyers in Montana ask for recommendations.
LinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn campaigns for B2B companies selling in Montana: job-title, industry and company targeting, account-based lists, lead forms synced to your CRM, and reporting on pipeline and revenue rather than cost per lead alone.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
Landing-page audits, A/B tests and form and checkout fixes based on analytics and session data — usually the cheapest way for businesses in Montana to lower acquisition costs without raising spend.
How we work with businesses in Montana
- Audit (week 0–1). We review your ad accounts, analytics, tracking, website and competitors in Montana, and send a written audit: what's broken, what's wasted, and the three moves we'd make first.
- Plan (week 1–2). A measurement plan, break-even ROAS and target CAC, a channel mix for Montana and a 90-day roadmap with owners and dates.
- Launch (week 2–4). Clean campaign structures, verified conversion tracking, the first creative sprint and landing-page fixes that remove obvious friction.
- Optimise (months 2–3). Weekly tests across audiences, bidding, creative and pages, with budget shifting toward the cheapest incremental results.
- Scale (month 3 onwards). New channels, cities and markets and retention loops — added only when the economics hold at higher spend.
Live working-hours overlap with Montana: Your evenings from 7:30pm and mornings until 9:30am MT (an hour earlier in winter). Every client gets a shared WhatsApp group, a weekly 30-minute call with the strategist who runs the account, a live dashboard and a written change log. See how we work for the full process.

- Senior people on your account. The strategist who runs your campaigns is the person you talk to every week.
- Weekly transparency. A scorecard, change log and test board every week — no vanity metrics.

What does digital marketing cost for a business in Montana?
We quote after a free audit, based on scope rather than geography: the number of channels and markets, your monthly ad spend, creative volume, languages and tracking complexity. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google, Meta and other platforms from your own accounts, in US dollar (USD) — it never passes through us.
PMG charges a fixed monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend or a hybrid — whichever keeps incentives cleanest — and many clients add a performance-linked component once tracking is reliable. Minimum terms are short. See pricing for what drives cost and how to compare agency quotes.
