About A2O Built by Owners.
We started as business owners who needed marketing that worked. When we could not find it, we built it ourselves.
A2O Digital evolved from A Second Opinion, a yellow pages advertising agency founded in 1988. When yellow page leads dried up, founder Doug Bencsko, who owned a garage door business, could not find SEO or SEM providers that understood local home service needs. So he built his own digital marketing department.
Managing Partner Tim Coleman joined in 2008 to develop the internet division. Together, they built a strategy generating hundreds of leads a month at an affordable cost per call. Within a decade, the company served over 90 local businesses and produced tens of thousands of monthly leads.

Our Values
Skin in the Game
We run our own service brands. Every strategy we recommend, we test with our own money first.
Specialization Over Spread

Dedicated Support
Our strategists manage only 10 to 20 accounts each. Your business gets priority attention.
Market Exclusivity
No competing clients in the same vertical and metro area.
ROI, Not Vanity Metrics
We actively manage cost per lead for profitable returns.
95% Client Retention
Our customer retention rate since 2008 has averaged over 95% each year.
We make it our mission to provide a life-changing number of leads to our customers every month at an affordable and profitable cost per lead.
