Owner-led Mississippi agency offering local SEO, websites and SMS marketing to small businesses
About C.H. Local Media
C.H. Local Media is a small SEO and digital marketing agency based at 2217 MS-370 in Baldwyn, Mississippi, a town in the Greater Tupelo area of north-east Mississippi. It was started in 2018 by Chas Henry, who remains the main point of contact and who works as an SEO specialist. Chris Labbate is head of marketing and Cory Hubbell is an analyst, and the team has 6-20 people.
The agency serves small and mid-sized local businesses, mostly in Mississippi but with some national clients. Its services cover search engine optimization, local search, website design and development, content, social media management, email marketing, text message marketing and business consulting. It also offers AI search optimization and pay-per-click. Projects are built mainly on WordPress and WooCommerce.
Health care is the agency's main industry, alongside business services, construction and home services. However, it has no dental practice client, dental page or dental case study. Named clients include Revitalize Earth, BPFG, FPC, Sprout Insurance and MyNINA.ai.
For a dental office, the practical appeal is a nearby, owner-led team that can handle the website, local rankings and patient messaging by text and email in one place. That fits single-location general practices in north Mississippi more than multi-site groups. Practices elsewhere would be working with a team whose public track record is local service firms.
Client feedback is consistently positive but limited in volume. It is rated 5.0 on Google from 17 reviews and 5.0 on UpCity from three reviews posted in early 2024. One reviewer's site moved from the last page of Google into the top five within a month. Another arrived wanting only a website and was told it would not be enough on its own, then signed up for SEO. Others mention quick replies, patient explanations and a caring approach from Chas and his staff.
The agency has several recognitions, including Top Web Design Agency in Mississippi from DesignRush, SEO Innovator of the Year for the Southern USA from Corporate Vision, second place among Mississippi SEO agencies from SEOlium, a Top Firms top 10 listing and a 2021 social media award from Kicksta and Influence Grid.
Prices are not published. The minimum budget is $1,000 to $10,000, with a $2,500 minimum project and a $1,500 monthly retainer. The agency offers a strategy session to scope work.
