Most marketing advice online is written for brands chasing attention. You run a real business with real customers and a real budget. That is a different job, and it is the one we do.

Sound familiar

Nobody walks in and tells you why they didn't.

Every week a customer decides between you and someone else, and you never hear about the ones you lost. This is what that looks like from the outside.

“Lunch has been dead for three weeks.”Restaurant owner “People keep asking if I'm still taking clients because my Instagram looks inactive.”Salon owner “January was incredible. February was terrifying.”Contractor
01

Someone in Silver Spring searches three salons, compares reviews, and books one. Yours was never in the list they saw.

02

A Bethesda contractor loses a job because his site never earns trust fast enough for someone comparing three bids on a phone.

03

A Shaw restaurant serves better food than the place ranking above it on Google. That place fills tables. This one wonders why Tuesdays are slow.

04

A Rockville boutique survives on referrals because Instagram never turns into sales, and the real barrier turns out to be parking nobody mentions on the site.

The difference between these businesses and yours is not effort It is knowing which one of these is happening to you right now. That is the whole point of the report below.
Free resource

Why you rank below the shop on the next block. Your phone number is an image, so it is not tappable on a phone, and 71% of your visitors are on one. Your hours are only on Facebook, so Google shows "hours unconfirmed" next to a competitor showing "Open now."

The process

From "I don't know where to start" to executing a real plan.

Working with AHD is straightforward. Here's how we go from first contact to results:

1

Get your Hype Report (free)

Fill out a short form and we'll audit your digital presence, your website, Google listing, social and marketing setup. You get a plain-English report that names your top revenue leaks and what to fix first. No strings attached. Takes about 48 hours.

2

Strategy call (free or paid, your choice)

Want to walk through the report together? Book a 30-min call. We'll answer questions, prioritize next steps, and tell you whether it makes sense to work together. If not, you still leave with a roadmap you can execute yourself.

3

We build it, or you do

Some clients want us to execute everything as their hands-free marketing partner. Others want a plan to hand to their team. Either way works: we build the systems, create the assets and run the campaigns, or we hand you the playbook and stay on call as your advisor.

Most clients see meaningful traction within the first 60 days. Not because we're magic, because we start with what's already broken and fix the highest-leverage things first.

Not ready for a package? Any single service on the shelf runs on its own, from $200. See the prices.
Want us on standby instead? The All Hype Partnership is $700 setup, then $250 / month — upkeep, edits and unlimited questions. Ask about it.
Every price is a starting point. Scope changes the number, and the number goes in writing before you pay anything.

Who we are
Raxx, founder of All Hype Digital

A DMV-based digital resource. Not your typical agency.

All Hype Digital was built because DMV small business owners kept getting sold expensive retainers from agencies that didn't understand their market, their margins, or their customers.

We're different for one reason: we treat every client like a business partner, not a line item. That means we start by learning your business, not pitching you services. We tell you what's actually going to move the needle. And we stay in the weeds with you, from strategy to execution to reporting.

Raxx built AHD to be the resource he wished existed when he was starting out. The kind of shop that gives real answers, builds real systems, and celebrates your wins like they're our own. Because they are.

"Built for local. Obsessed with results."

Partners

We don't just use great tools. We partner with the ones that actually help.

AHD has formal partnerships with platforms, tools and services that we've tested, vetted and actually recommend. Every partner earns their spot by delivering real value to our clients.

Smart, high-converting forms, wired into your stack.

We've partnered with Typeform to bring lead-capture forms, client intakes, event registrations and feedback surveys that people actually fill out. As an official Typeform partner, AHD clients get optimized templates, expert setup support, and integrations wired directly into their CRM and marketing stack.

Become a partner

Want access to the DMV small business community?

AHD works with a select group of partners and affiliates who align with our mission to equip local businesses with real resources. We're selective because our clients trust our recommendations. If you're a good fit, being an AHD partner means co-marketing, direct referrals, client introductions and co-branded content.

We're growing

Want to work with small businesses that actually care about growth?

AHD is always looking for sharp, local creatives, strategists, VAs and digital marketers who want to do meaningful work for businesses in their community. We work with contractors and part-time team members who want flexible, high-quality project work, not a cubicle. If you're DMV-rooted, results-driven, and know how to move in a small business environment, we want to hear from you.

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Yes. The Hype Report is a free, no-obligation audit of your digital presence. Fill out a short form, and within about 48 hours you get a plain-English report naming your top revenue leaks and quick wins. No email wall, no pitch deck, and if you want to walk through it on a call, that's free too.

No. Project work is scoped up front, and the All Hype Partnership ($700 one-time setup, then $250/month) is month-to-month. Cancel any time, no penalty. We'd rather earn the next month than lock you in.

Yes. Most clients come to us with an existing site on WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Toast or similar. We take the keys, clean it up, and run it from there. No rebuild required unless you want one.

Small, owner-run businesses across DC, Maryland and Virginia, restaurants, smoke shops, dispensaries, boutiques, salons, fitness studios, contractors and indie brands going full-time. If you're great at what you do but marketing and tech keep eating your time, that's exactly who we're built for.

Questions get a same-day reply on business days, and urgent breakages get a same-day Zoom. You're not opening a ticket into a void, you're talking to a partner who knows your setup.
