    The job

    Why marketing works

    In marketing, two things matter most

    Getting found, and getting trusted. The neighbors used to ask each other. Now they ask Google and AI too, and 83% of Google searches end without a click (SparkToro, 2024). We make sure your name is the one that comes up. (Spoiler: West Media Group does both.)

    Getting found

    Whether it's a neighbor Googling, a customer asking ChatGPT, or someone driving past your sign, we make sure you show up. Local SEO, AI visibility, websites, and signage that put your name in front of the right people. Most businesses start seeing AI citations within 60 to 90 days.

    Getting trusted

    Showing up isn't enough. A consistent brand, real reviews, and a story worth repeating turn attention into customers. It's how we've earned a 5.0-star rating across 20+ Google reviews of our own. Branding, content, and campaigns that make people choose you, and recommend you.

    Channels

    Get started with

    Multi-channel marketing

    Your business has its own unique voice, and we help you share it authentically, with marketing wherever your customers are. We bring kindness, integrity, and excellence to every marketing strategy we create.

    Search

    Search has changed. Has your marketing?

    Buyers used to compare ten results before calling anyone. Now they ask AI for a single recommendation and call that one. Every day, AI names a business in your industry. The only question is whether it's you or your competitor.

    1. 01

      Your business, everywhere it lives

      Your website, Google Business Profile, reviews and listings are the raw material. An AI engine reads all of it, not just your homepage.

    2. 02

      Signals an engine can trust

      Schema, citations on other sites, content that answers real questions, and mentions around town tell an engine what you do and where.

      One name in the answer

      Instead of ten blue links, the engine names one business. Our work is making sure the signals point to yours.

    Why West Media Group

    The West Media Group team, all in red, gathered around the Fred Rogers statue in their hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

    Why West Media Group

    25+ years of getting neighbors found.

    Founded in 1998 and built for the AI era, grounded in the fundamentals that have always worked: trust, authority, and distribution. The channels change: print, radio, web, search, and now AI. The job stays the same.

    Decades of experience

    Since 1998, we've been blazing new trails in the complex world of advertising, from print and radio to web, search, and now AI. Most "AI marketing" agencies launched last year. We didn't.

    Local connections

    We're your neighbors in Latrobe. Supporting local organizations builds genuine appreciation, brand trust, and the community visibility that money can't buy, and we bring it to work for you.

    In-house talent

    The team you need when you need it: 7 people in-house, including our graphic design group. One neighborly partner for the whole stack (strategy, creative, web, and AI), so there are no vendors to juggle.

    In their words

    “No matter the situation, time of day, or crazy last‑minute request we had, they came through above and beyond.”

    Westmoreland Walks, Inc.Google review · Sep 2026
    I had an exceptional experience working with West Media Group. Ajay, Stephen, Bailey, Ceili, Spencer, and the rest of the amazing staff are true collaborators who genuinely care about their clients' success! They partnered with us to handle our company branding and delivered top-tier results across multiple areas, including social media management, website creation, marketing strategies, and event materials creation. Thanks to their hard work, we had highly successful events tied into our new website and walked away with incredibly professional marketing materials. Beyond the deliverables, they were always there to advise and guide us along the way to help us achieve our goals. The entire team is incredibly smart, professional, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. If you are looking for a dedicated marketing partner, I highly recommend West Media Group!

    I had an extremely challenging and very large website needing updating to the "WOOCOMMERCE" functions. While this effort took a bit of time, the end result was exactly what I wanted. The team's efforts (especially Stephen and Bailey) were impressive as they immersed themselves into the site to understand what was needed....OUTSTANDING job when the site was completed!
    Whitey WhiteGoogle review · Sep 2026
    I want to take a moment to share a very heartfelt thank-you to the entire team at West Media for the experience I had working with them to build my real estate website. As a Realtor who has been in this business for many years, I’ve learned that the people you work with can make all the difference—and I truly enjoyed working with the people at West Media. From the very beginning, I was met with kindness, patience, creativity, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for helping me bring my vision to life. Everyone I worked with was attentive, responsive, innovative, and willing to listen to my ideas (and there were plenty of them!). They took the time to understand not only what I wanted my website to look like, but also what I wanted it to say about me, my business, and the way I serve my clients. That personal attention meant a lot to me. Unfortunately, because of circumstances beyond my control, I had to make the difficult decision to discontinue my project before we could see it through to completion. That was disappointing for me because I truly enjoyed the process and the people I had the opportunity to work with. I want to emphasize that my decision had absolutely nothing to do with West Media or the wonderful job they were doing. In fact, I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to create a website, grow their business, or establish a stronger presence online. Sometimes a project doesn't end the way we hoped it would, but that doesn't take away from the people we meet along the way. I am genuinely grateful for the time, patience, creativity, and care the West Media team gave me and my project. Thank you, West Media, for making what could have been an overwhelming process such a positive and enjoyable experience. I appreciate each and every one of you, and I wish you continued success. ❤️ If you’re considering building or improving your online presence, I highly recommend giving West Media a call. You’ll be in very good hands! Diana Dahlberg, Broker/Owner - 1 Month Realty

    Ajay and his team treat my team and I like family. As a small business, cost consious decisions are a priority for us and West Media has come through. They have coached everyone to be self sufficient and given us best practices and continue to coach us in our endeavor to grow our contracting business. We are grateful to have found West Media Group in Latrobe and encourage anyone considering getting help with their marketing, big or small, to reach out to them first!

    Rudy DutkoGoogle review · May 2026
    Working with West Media Group was an absolute pleasure! They took my vague ideas and a few scattered sketches and transformed them into a beautiful, functional website that perfectly captures our brand. Their creative eye and talent for conceptualizing visuals exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend West Media Group for any web or e-commerce project. They were courteous, prompt, and kept me in the loop throughout the entire building process. They stuck to the timeline perfectly and were very patient with my revisions. It is clear they are an expert who truly cares about the final product.
