Meet the founder
Matt Foreman
Founder & CEO
Matt Foreman runs Shoot To Thrill Media, a St. Petersburg, Florida digital marketing shop he founded in 2016 to serve local service businesses — with a particular focus on lawn care and landscaping operators, restoration companies, and glass companies. The public founder story on the site is brief and framed around origin rather than resume: Foreman and his team have said they launched the agency after being burned by a prior web development vendor, and built Shoot To Thrill around the transparency and collaboration they felt was missing in that experience. That origin shapes the firm's positioning today. Rather than chase enterprise SEO or national e-commerce work, the agency stays deliberately local, arguing that a Tampa lawn care operator gains nothing from ranking in Seattle and everything from owning the map pack in their own service radius. The thesis running through the site is that local service businesses lose money not from lack of traffic but from lack of conversion infrastructure — slow sites, unmanaged Google Business Profiles, ignored leads — and that fixing those mechanics is more valuable than chasing vanity rankings. Foreman has assembled a small team of designers, developers, and account managers operating out of St. Pete, and the firm has grown into a retainer-heavy model where clients stay on for ongoing website management after the initial build. Credentials beyond the 2016 founding date and Florida base are not stated publicly, and the site leans on client testimonials rather than founder biography to establish trust.
Editorial
Editor’s take
Shoot To Thrill positions itself as a local-focused shop serving small service businesses—lawn care, restoration, glass companies—rather than competing nationally. The site emphasizes a localized approach to SEO and paid ads, with clear messaging around lead generation and conversion. Claims are generic ("hundreds of businesses"), but the vertical specificity around service trades and local dominance is consistent throughout.
What they do
Services
Local SEO
Built around Google Business Profile management, map pack positioning, and locally-scoped content for lawn care and landscaping operators who only care about ranking within their service radius. The agency explicitly rejects broad national SEO in favor of neighborhood and city-level visibility.
Conversion-Focused Websites
Mobile-optimized, fast-loading sites designed around the realities of how homeowners actually shop for landscaping — quick quote requests, clear service menus, and trust signals above the fold. Delivered through a 'Guided Website' retainer model where the agency continues to manage and maintain the site rather than handing it off.
Paid Ads Management
Google and social ad campaigns scoped to local service areas, built around high-intent lawn care and landscaping keywords like seasonal cleanups, sod installation, and landscape design. Campaigns are continuously optimized rather than set-and-forget.
Lead Nurturing CRM (GameChanger)
A proprietary CRM and follow-up system aimed at the gap most landscapers leak money through: leads that come in but never get called back fast enough. Automates text and email follow-up so estimate requests don't go cold while crews are in the field.
Reputation Management
Review generation and monitoring for service businesses where Google review count and star rating directly influence map pack conversion. Positioned as protective infrastructure alongside the SEO work.
