From Serving My Country to Serving Big Companies — Now Serving Local NH Businesses.
U.S. Air Force & Air National Guard veteran. 25+ years in digital marketing. Former Senior Director managing 250+ franchise websites. Now focused on one market: Southern New Hampshire — helping local businesses compete with enterprise-grade tools at prices that make sense.
Most Marketing Companies Want Your Money.
We're Invested in Your Growth Because we believe "Strong Commerce = Strong Communities" and we're invested in building stronger communities.
Every week, local businesses across Southern New Hampshire get calls, emails, and pitches from marketing companies they've never heard of. Agencies in Texas, California, overseas — promising results from thousands of miles away. You meet over the phone, look at a portfolio of businesses you can't verify, and make a decision based on hope.
We're different. We live here. We shop here. We send our kids to school here. When we say we want to help your business grow, it's because your success makes our community stronger — and we mean that literally.
Out-of-state agencies use their big marketing budgets to sell affordable template websites to small businesses — sites that look fine but don't actually help you get found. We're not here to sell you a template and move on. We're here because we ARE you — a New Hampshire small business that cares about this state. To learn more about why we do what we do, see our official business site at 603 Circle.
When we help a business grow, we don't mean maintaining a single ranking in one town. We mean systematically expanding their reach — town by town, month by month — until they're the go-to provider across Southern New Hampshire. That's the growth model, and it's why our clients stay.
When you work with us, you're not getting a junior account manager on a Zoom call. You're working directly with someone who has been doing this since before Google AdWords existed. The person who answers the phone is the person doing the work. That's not a limitation. It's the entire point.
From Serving the Country to Serving You
The discipline, accountability, and mission-first mindset that carries through everything we do today.
Led digital strategy and e-commerce operations across national brands, managing teams, technology platforms, and revenue growth at enterprise scale.
Built and managed websites and marketing for 80+ national clients. E-commerce, WordPress, technical SEO — the full stack.
Managed 250+ franchise websites to gain local visibility, owned the national SEO agency relationship. Saw what enterprise budgets buy — and what big agencies can't do well locally.
Everything learned across 25 years, focused on one market: Southern New Hampshire. AI-powered tools, a curated local directory, and a mission to level the playing field.
What You're Actually Choosing Between
It's not about price. It's about who's behind the work, where they are, and whether they have any reason to care about your success beyond a monthly invoice.
A Typical Marketing Company
- Calls you from another state with a sales pitch
- Assigns a junior account manager you've never met
- Uses the same template for every client
- $3,000–$8,000/month with no local knowledge
- Portfolio of businesses you can't verify
- Subcontracts the work to a team you'll never talk to
- Disappears after the contract ends
- No stake in your community or your success

They'd have to build their own community platform, live in the market, have 25+ years of experience, serve in the military, survive COVID as a small business owner, AND care enough about a specific geography to dedicate their career to it. That combination doesn't exist anywhere else in Southern New Hampshire.
Three Platforms. One Team. Nobody Else Has This.
Before we pitch a single service, we've already invested in your community. These platforms exist because we believe in the mission — and they give every MBM client an advantage no other agency can offer.
SNHLocal.com
A curated guide to 1,800+ Southern New Hampshire businesses. Free listings for everyone. Verified profiles for MBM clients at no extra cost. We built this because local businesses deserve better than scraped directories and pay-to-play listings.
603Circle.com
The parent company behind everything we do. 603 Circle connects business visibility to community stability — because the same economy that funds local services depends on local businesses being found. Strong Communities = Strong Commerce.
ReviewsNH.com
AI-powered review generation for local businesses. NFC tap-to-review cards, AI-assisted writing, sentiment routing — designed specifically for Southern NH businesses. Every MBM client gets priority access.
Every MBM client gets a verified listing on SNHLocal.com — included, not upsold.
That's a citation, a backlink, and a presence on a curated local directory your competitors don't have access to through any other agency.
Strong Communities = Strong Commerce
Mark B Marquis & Co is a trade name of 603 Circle LLC — a company built on the belief that when local businesses thrive, communities thrive.
That is why we built SNHLocal.com, a curated directory of Southern NH businesses we maintain ourselves. It is why every MBM client gets a verified listing at no extra cost. And it is why we price our services for the businesses that actually make up our neighborhoods — not the ones that can afford $8,000 a month.
This is not a tagline. It is the reason this company exists.

Five Questions to Ask Your Current Provider
If you're already working with someone — or considering another company — ask them these questions. The answers will tell you everything.
1. Can you show me a live visibility scan of my service area — right now, not from three months ago?
2. Who is the person actually doing the work? Can I talk to them directly?
3. Do you have a presence in my market — a website, a directory, anything local?
4. What happens to my website, my data, and my GBP if I leave?
5. Can I visit your office and sit across from the person handling my account?
We answer all five of these confidently. If your current provider can't, that tells you something.
Ready to Work With Someone Who Actually Lives Here?
Schedule a free conversation. We'll look at your current visibility, walk through your market, and tell you exactly what we'd do — and whether we're the right fit. No pitch. No pressure. If we're not right for you, we'll tell you that too.
