Built for San Diego service businesses.

The Founder

Built by an operator,
not a career agency guy.

Outposting Studio was built by someone who understands what small business owners are up against: limited time, inconsistent marketing, and competitors who look bigger online than they really are.

Shane Van Rickley built his own brand from zero and grew up around a San Diego plumbing business with more than two decades of field experience behind it. That perspective shapes the way Outposting works: practical strategy, strong creative, and marketing built to turn attention into booked jobs.

  • Operator-led, not account-manager-led
  • Built for service businesses, not every industry
  • Focused on booked jobs, not vanity metrics
Industry Outlook

Service businesses are at a turning point.

The companies investing in their digital foundation now will dominate their local markets in five years. The ones that don't will lose ground to competitors who look sharper, show up more often, and make it easier for customers to choose them.

Outposting Studio exists to help the right businesses make the right move at the right time.

Not every company needs a massive agency. Not every company needs to burn money on ads before the foundation is built. But every serious service business needs a brand, website, and lead system that matches the quality of the work they do in the field.

That is what we build

The Outposting Growth System

Marketing isn't one thing. It's the system that makes a service business visible, trusted, and easy to choose.

Outposting Studio builds the pieces individually or together depending on where the business is now and what needs to happen next. A client may come in for a website, brand identity, media shoot, SEO, social media, or lead generation — but every service connects back to one goal: helping service businesses look trusted, get found, and book more of the right jobs.

01

Build Trust

Brand identity, photography, video, and website design that make the business look established before a customer ever calls.

02

Get Found

04

Convert Into Booked Jobs

Founding Case Study

Building the digital foundation for All Pipe Plumbing

All Pipe Plumbing is a San Diego plumbing business led by a solo operator with 25 years of field experience. The business had real expertise, strong referral potential, and decades of trade knowledge — but lacked the modern digital foundation needed to compete online.

Outposting Studio built the foundation: brand direction, website, Google Business Profile, Local Services Ads setup, local positioning, and conversion-focused structure.

Questions & Fit

Straight answers before you reach out.

What if I already have a website?

We audit it first. If it's working, we don't rebuild it. We focus on the parts of your marketing that will actually move the needle.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

Lump Sum is one-time. Monthly Partnership requires a 12-month minimum, with a buyout option available at any time.

Will I own everything you build?

Yes. Your brand, your website, your assets. Everything is yours from day one, or upon buyout for the Monthly Partnership.

What if I don't have time to manage another vendor?

That's the point. Our partnerships are built to keep you out of the weeds. You'll see results in your reporting, not in constant back-and-forth emails.

How is this different from a lead-gen agency?

We don't just sell leads. We build the foundation behind the lead flow: brand, website, search visibility, content, reviews, and campaigns. The goal isn't more noise. The goal is more qualified calls, better inquiries, and booked jobs you can actually track.

What if it doesn't work?

We'll tell you before you spend more. If the strategy isn't working in the first 90 days, we re-scope it. Your success is the entire model.

No surprises. The first call is 15 minutes — we'll learn about your business and tell you if we can help.

Ready to build the system behind your next stage of growth?

The first call is simple. We learn about your business, where you are now, and what you're trying to grow into. If we can help, we'll tell you how. If not, we'll tell you that too.
