OUR STORY
Built by operators. Sharpened for San Diego's coast-to-backcountry market.
Eclipse Marketing wasn’t born in a boardroom. Founder Michael Vale spent seven years inside the lead-generation machine, Angi’s included, where he watched the same lead get sold to three different businesses and billed to all of them. He walked away convinced that most agencies are in the dashboard business, not the customer business.
San Diego punishes one-size-fits-all SEO harder than almost anywhere. Ranking a remodeler for La Jolla’s coastal luxury market has next to nothing in common with ranking a plumber in El Cajon or an HVAC company in Chula Vista near the border. Ninety miles of county separate a Carlsbad beach block from the backcountry, and Google scores each pocket as its own contest.
So we built Eclipse to work the other way. One team, one focus: local SEO for service businesses. Our San Diego operation maps every coastal enclave and inland suburb as a distinct market instead of flattening the whole county into a single campaign.
OUR APPROACH
Depth over breadth. Every single time.
Most agencies chase anyone with a credit card: a dentist, a law firm, a SaaS startup, a contractor squeezed in between. Their teams never go deep on any of them. We made the opposite bet years ago and never looked back.
Seven years of keyword maps, content frameworks, and earned-link relationships all point one direction: home and service businesses. When we take on a San Diego client, the groundwork already exists. We aren’t researching your industry on your dime. We’re applying patterns we’ve already proven in coastal California markets that look a lot like yours.
In a county where a single Map Pack ranking can be worth a six-figure year, that head start is the exact advantage your competitors keep wishing they had.

FOUNDER
Michael Vale
Before Eclipse, Michael spent seven years on the inside of the lead-generation industry, Angi’s included. That was long enough to see exactly how platforms squeeze businesses while recycling the same leads. The lesson stuck: owners don’t want a prettier dashboard, they want the phone to ring with people ready to buy in their actual service area.
Every San Diego account runs past Michael personally. He knows a Del Mar coastal remodel campaign needs a different playbook than one chasing service calls in Escondido, and he won’t let a strategy leave the building without that local precision built in.
THE TEAM
Nine specialists. One job: your San Diego rankings.
There are no generalists here and no account managers reading from a script. Every person on this team goes deep on one thing, ranking service businesses, and brings that focus to the San Diego market from day one.
