Built in SD - FAQs
What is Built in San Diego?
Built in San Diego is a free editorial feature series by Revvia Marketing that spotlights local business owners across North County San Diego. We sit down with founders and operators, learn their story, and publish a professionally written article on revvia.com (http://revvia.com)— no cost, no catch, and no obligation to work with us. It's our way of celebrating the people who are quietly building something great in this community.
Who is eligible to be featured in Built in San Diego?
Any locally owned and operated business in North County San Diego is eligible — including businesses in Carlsbad, Vista, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, and the surrounding area. We focus on owner-operated businesses where there's a real person and a real story behind the brand. Franchises and chain locations are generally not a fit, but if you own and operate a franchise location independently, reach out and we'll talk.
What does the feature include and what does it cost?
The feature is completely free. Every business owner who participates receives a professionally written article of approximately 1,500–2,000 words published on revvia.com,(http://revvia.com) a live backlink to their website that helps with local SEO, and full ownership of the content to share on their own website, social media, or marketing materials. There is no fee, no advertising buy, and no requirement to become a Revvia client.
How does the interview process work?
We keep it simple. One of our team members will come to your business at a time that works for your schedule for a relaxed 20-minute conversation. We'll ask about your story, what makes your business unique, who your customers are, and what you'd want the world to know about what you do. No prep is needed — just show up as yourself. We take notes, write the article, and show it to you for review before anything is published.
Will Revvia try to sell me something?
Full disclosure — yes, eventually, but not at the interview. Revvia is a marketing agency based in Carlsbad, and when we return to present your live article we'll also share a custom marketing plan we've built based on what we learned about your business. That presentation is also free and the plan is yours to keep regardless of what you decide. We believe in leading with real value before ever asking for anything, and we think the work speaks for itself.
Who writes the articles and where are they published?
Every article is written by the Revvia Marketing team — a North County San Diego-based agency whose writers and strategists live and work in this community. Articles are published on revvia.com,(http://revvia.com) which is indexed by Google and other search engines, meaning your feature is findable online and contributes a real backlink to your website's domain authority over time.
Can I use the article on my own website or social media?
Absolutely — and we encourage it. You own the content. Once you've approved the article and it's live, you're free to republish it on your own website, share it on social media, include it in email newsletters, print it, or use it however you see fit. Many business owners find it makes great content for their About page or for introducing their story to new customers. When possible, we love it when you link our article when mentioning it as it drives awareness of what we do as well, but there is no obligation.
