Joe Garf

Meet Joe

I'm Joe, the founder of Garf Media. I work with local service businesses that want predictable growth through content, advertising, and systems that actually convert.

Over the years, I've helped contractors, home service companies, and local businesses generate more leads by focusing on what works today instead of outdated marketing tactics.

I started Garf Media because I saw too many business owners wasting money on agencies that overpromised and underdelivered. My goal was simple: create real systems that help businesses grow consistently.

My philosophy is straightforward: marketing should be an investment, not a stressor. The right strategy, content, and follow-up systems can completely change the trajectory of a business.

Let's Make Sure
We're A Good Fit

We only work with businesses we can actually help. Here's how to know if that's you.

This Is For You If...
  • You run a local service business and want consistent lead flow
  • You're tired of relying on referrals and word of mouth alone
  • You've tried boosting posts but never run real ad campaigns
  • You want to hand off the creative and management entirely
  • You're ready to invest in a system that actually scales
This Is NOT For You If...
  • You want hacks and shortcuts instead of building real systems and follow-up
  • You're thinking about scaling instead of actively growing
  • A $5,000 investment feels too risky for your business right now
  • Your business isn't set up to handle increased volume
  • You're looking for the cheapest option, not the best outcome

Straight Answers

No fluff. Here's what most business owners want to know before they book.

I've tried running ads before and it didn't work. Why would this be different? +
Most failed ad campaigns fail because of bad creative, wrong targeting, or no real offer. We fix all three. We script the ads, film them professionally, set up the campaign correctly, and manage it every day. That's very different from boosting a post and hoping for the best.
Do I have to be on camera? +
For video ads, yes — and that's actually your biggest advantage. Customers hire people, not logos. A real face builds trust faster than any graphic ad ever will. We handle the scripting and direction so you just have to show up and talk.
How long until I start seeing leads? +
Most clients start seeing movement within the first 2 days of the campaign going live. Campaigns typically hit their stride between weeks 3 and 6 as the algorithm optimizes. Your strategy call will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific market.
What's included in the monthly management after the first 30 days? +
Daily campaign monitoring, budget optimization, A/B testing across your ad creatives, KPI tracking, a client dashboard, and direct access to your account manager via Slack. We treat your ad spend like it's our own money.
Do you only work with Minnesota businesses? +
No. While many of our clients are based in Minnesota, we work with service businesses across the country.
What happens on the strategy call? +
It's a free 45-minute call where we look at your current marketing, your offer, and your goals. We'll tell you exactly what the biggest bottleneck is and what we'd do to fix it. No pressure, no pitch deck — just an honest conversation about what's actually going to move the needle for your business.
How much should I budget for advertising? +
Most of our clients start between $1,000–$3,000 per month in ad spend,depending on their goals, market, and services.
What industries do you work with? +
We primarily work with contractors, home service businesses, medical practices, automotive companies, and other local service brands.
Can you work with businesses that already have marketing? +
Absolutely. We can improve, complement, or completely rebuild your existing marketing systems.
How long does filming take? +
Most filming sessions take between 1–3 hours, depending on the amount of content we're capturing.
