About Monstera Marketing Agency

I'm Travis Matthews. I started Monstera Marketing Agency because I've been the business owner on the other side of the table. I know what keeps you up at night, because it kept me up too.

Travis Matthews, founder of Monstera Marketing Agency

25+ years of running real businesses

My parents ran businesses, so I grew up around it. I opened my first shop in college, selling antiques and vintage clothing.

After that I spent years with national home furnishings brands. My job was usually to walk into a store that was losing money and make it profitable again. Later I helped open and run six luxury home furnishings stores across Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. That's what brought me to Dallas, and I've been here ever since.

I've worked both sides of a sale: business to business as a brand rep, and business to customer on the store floor. I've managed inventory, staffing, logistics, and marketing budgets. So when I look at your rankings, I read them the way an owner would: in calls, jobs, and revenue.

Why marketing

Marketing was always part of running a store. I also love technology, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a nerd about it.

When I moved into digital marketing, I kept seeing the same thing. Good local businesses were losing to competitors with bigger budgets. Owners were paying agencies for work that never turned into calls. I wanted to fix that.

Nothing makes me happier than helping a smaller business compete with the ones that can outspend it. And I'd rather save you money than waste it.

Why the name Monstera

I studied horticulture in college, and the monstera is one of my favorite plants. It grows big and beautiful, but only when you give it what it needs: the right light, the right soil, and something to climb.

Businesses grow the same way online. Give Google a clear structure and steady signals, and your business grows. Skip them, and it stalls, no matter how good your work is.

How I work

I oversee all the work myself. When you're on my local SEO program, you're the only business in your trade I take on in your market. You'll never compete with another client for the same spot on the map. If anything ever overlaps, I'll tell you up front.

I explain everything in plain language, because you should understand what you're paying for and why. Clients tell me they've never had it explained so clearly. Those lightbulb moments are my favorite part of the job.

I treat every client as a partner. When your phone rings more, that's my win too. When something isn't working, I take it personally, and I tell you.

"He's super responsive, always keeps me in the loop, and clearly wants me to succeed."
