RESULTS OVER VANITY
LOCAL ROOTS, REAL REACH
NO BLOAT. NO BULLSHIT.
HOW THIS STARTED
Started in Tampa. Built for results.
Phil Lafaurie and Beckem started Client Social because they kept seeing the same thing: good local businesses getting sold expensive contracts by agencies that didn't understand their market, couldn't explain their results, and disappeared after the check cleared.
Phil spent nearly two decades in IT and platform engineering before starting Client Social. He reads the actual data before drawing a conclusion — which means when something isn't working, he knows it before you do, and he'll tell you. That background shapes how Client Social runs campaigns: rigorously, transparently, with a bias toward cutting what doesn't convert.
Beckem brings the relationship side that most agencies outsource to a junior account manager. Together, they cover the two things most agencies separate: the technical side of getting found, and the human side of keeping clients.
They chose Tampa and Miami deliberately. National agencies treat Florida like a franchise territory. Client Social treats it like home. Because it is.

THE BUSINESSES WE TAKE ON
Small and mid-size businesses in Tampa Bay and Miami.
What they have in common: owners who care about where the business is going, not just that something is "running." People who want to understand what they're paying for. Businesses where more calls equals real growth — not just a vanity metric.
We have 47 clients. We know every one of them by name. That's deliberate.
Service businesses
Medical and dental practices
Restaurants and hospitality
Contractors and home services
Law firms, accounting, and local professional services
THE FOUNDERS
Built by people who got tired of the same story.

Philip Lafaurie
Co-Founder & CEO
“We kept seeing the same thing: good local businesses getting sold expensive contracts by agencies that couldn't explain their results and disappeared after the check cleared. We built the kind of agency we always wished existed — one that reads the actual data before drawing a conclusion, and tells you what it finds.”

Beckem
Co-Founder
“Tampa and Miami are real markets with real density. Growing populations, strong small business communities, industries that compete hard for every local search. National agencies treat Florida like a franchise territory. We treat it like home. Because it is.”
OUR MODEL
What we do. And what we don't.
We run digital marketing — SEO, paid search, web design, and social media — for Tampa Bay and Miami businesses. Monthly, you get a plain-English report showing what moved: leads generated, rankings shifted, spend vs. return. No dashboard you have to interpret yourself. No account manager reading you a summary of a summary.

Dashboard-dump reporting you have to interpret yourself
If you're looking for an agency that posts three times a week and calls it growth, we're not it. If you want to know why your competitor is showing up above you on Google and what it takes to fix it — that's exactly us.

OUR WHY
We started Client Social because the agency model was broken.
Long-term contracts with no accountability. Reports full of vanity metrics. Account managers who read you a summary of a summary. Campaigns that "ran" but never converted. We've seen it from the inside — and we built something different.
Client Social is the answer to a simple question: what would a digital agency look like if it cared more about your pipeline than its own margin? Turns out it looks like this — transparent pricing, honest reporting, and a team that tells you the truth before they tell you what you want to hear.
Small businesses deserve the same marketing infrastructure as enterprise companies.
