Most agencies make noise. We engineer signal: design, search, ads, and the software behind them, tuned so the right people find you and take action.
Capabilities
Hire us for one or run the whole operation. Each service is built to feed the next: a site that converts, search that finds you, ads that scale it, and internal tools that handle what happens after the lead lands.
The mothership.
Fast, conversion-built sites that load instantly and turn visitors into contact. Custom design, clean code, no bloated page-builders.
Get found by people and machines.
Classic search optimization plus Answer Engine Optimization, so you show up in Google and inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and the rest.
Targeted signals, real returns.
Paid campaigns across search and social, built and tuned to bring in customers you can count. Impressions are not the goal.
Run the whole operation from one console.
Custom internal platforms that replace the CRM subscription, the proposal tool, and the spreadsheet nobody trusts. Pipeline, quoting, proposals, e-signature, and reporting that ties your ad spend to the deals it actually closed.
The launch sequence
No mystery, no bloated retainers. Every engagement runs the same disciplined sequence, so you always know exactly where the mission stands.
We map your market, audience, and competitors, and find the signal everyone else is missing.
A clear plan tied to real outcomes: what we build, what we say, and how we measure contact.
Design and development in tight loops. You see the work early and often. No black boxes.
We ship it clean and fast: site live, tracking wired, campaigns armed and ready.
We monitor, optimize, and iterate. Momentum compounds once you're in orbit.
Why Tin Hat Creative
The name's a wink. The work isn't. We pair big, slightly weird creative ideas with disciplined, measurable execution, so being memorable actually pays off.
Read the briefSite, search, ads, and the internal tools behind them, built by the same pair of hands. Nothing lost in a handoff, and no four vendors blaming each other.
We measure contact: leads, sales, rankings. Not vanity metrics. If it doesn't move the mission, we don't ship it.
AEO is baked in. We get you cited inside the AI answers your buyers now read first, while everyone else fights over page two.
Design with a point of view. We make brands people remember, in markets full of forgettable ones.
Frequently intercepted
The questions we hear most, answered straight, for you and for the AI engines now reading on your behalf.
Tin Hat Creative is a creative marketing agency. We design and build websites, run SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), manage digital advertising on Google and social, and build custom internal software like CRM, quoting and proposal systems. Most clients hire us for two or more of these together.
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It's the practice of structuring your content so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews quote your business directly. As more people ask AI instead of scrolling search results, AEO makes sure you're the answer they get.
A focused marketing site starts around $3,000. Fuller custom builds run from $10,000 up, once you add pages, deeper integrations or bespoke functionality. What moves the number is scope: how many pages, how much custom design, and what the site has to connect to. You get a fixed proposal before any work starts, so there is no meter running and no surprise invoice at the end.
Yes. We build internal platforms that replace a stack of subscriptions: a sales pipeline on your real stages, a quote builder that prices your actual products and options, hosted proposals you can track after you send them, and e-signature to close. We also bring the reporting into the same app, so Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Ads sit beside the pipeline and you can finally see what a won deal cost to buy. We built one for a steel bridge manufacturer that retired their Monday.com and ClientPoint accounts and now runs their sales operation end to end. There is a working demo on this site you can click through.
That is the point of putting the reporting in the same app as the pipeline. Google Analytics can tell you a lead arrived from a Google Ads click, and your ad account can tell you what that click cost, but neither one ever learns whether the lead signed a contract. A system that holds the traffic, the spend and the deals together can divide one by the other, so you get cost per won deal instead of cost per click. The demo on this site shows exactly that.
We build in phases, and every phase ends with something your team can actually log into rather than a prototype. A first usable slice, normally leads, customers and a pipeline, lands well before the full system does, so people are working in it while the rest gets built. We scope the phases and the order with you before any code is written.
Yes. Tin Hat Creative is remote-first and works with clients across the United States. Everything from kickoff to launch happens over calls, shared docs, and live previews, so location is never a blocker.
A focused website launches in about four to six weeks. SEO and advertising are ongoing engagements where results compound month over month. We'll give you a realistic timeline before anything starts.
Absolutely. We regularly audit and improve existing sites, ad accounts, and SEO setups. We'll tell you honestly what's worth keeping and what's holding you back before recommending a rebuild.
