"We'd been ignoring Bing entirely. PPC Gems convinced us to test it - the CPC was significantly lower and conversion rates were comparable to Google. We've since scaled it considerably."

From Steel to Robotics and Healthcare.
Pittsburgh's economy looks nothing like it did a generation ago. Universities and hospital systems anchor the city, robotics, AI and autonomous vehicle companies fill former industrial buildings, and a deep manufacturing heritage survives in advanced materials and engineering firms. Many of those businesses sell to other businesses, often to technical buyers anywhere in the world.
Locally, Pittsburgh is a city of neighborhoods and hills. Rivers, tunnels and bridges shape how far customers will travel, and a contractor in the South Hills may never take a job in the North Hills. Older housing stock keeps roofers, plumbers and remodelers in demand, and winter weather adds heating and snow-related searches.
We build campaigns around both realities: technical, pipeline-focused search for B2B and SaaS, margin-led Shopping and Meta for online brands, and neighborhood-aware targeting for local services.

Tunnels, bridges and service areas
Pittsburgh geography makes radius targeting misleading. We draw service areas around the communities you really reach, then adjust bids where response rates differ.
