Get Found Online and Grow Your Community Bank
Geear is a digital marketing agency for community banks. We help banks capture leads from their website and campaigns, get each one to the right banker, and show leadership what marketing produced. We also run search, paid ads and AI search programs, using what we've learned working with 120+ FIs.
We care about your data in our privacy policy.
Digital Marketing for Community Banks
The banks we talk to want more deposits from businesses and personal customers, new business relationships, fee income from services like treasury management and merchant services, and clear proof for leadership and the board that marketing is working.
A commercial loan often starts with a conversation with a banker, so for most community banks, digital marketing's job is to start more of those conversations.
Geear is SOC 2 Type II compliant, so we have the controls in place to keep customer data and reporting secure. Find out more here.

How We Work
A Clear Process for Community Bank Marketing
Through our experience in working with financial institutions, we've developed a successful process for getting measurable results. We'll apply our proven model, and fine-tune a plan to meet your specific needs. We'll provide a specific timeline of activities, so you'll always be aware of our progress and what's happening next.
1 Identify Your Goals
We start with what your bank is trying to grow and where your marketing stands today: search visibility, ad performance, how you show up in AI search, and what your tracking can and can't show.
2 Launch Campaigns
We recommend the channels that fit your goals and budget, and write ads, pages and emails with your compliance review in mind. Nothing goes live until your bank approves it.
3 Measure and Improve
Campaigns launch with tracking in place, so forms, calls and clicks tie back to the channel that produced them. We report in plain language your leadership can follow and change what isn't working.
No Contracts.
Working with Geear doesn't mean signing a 12-month contract. If you're not getting value, you walk away without any financial penalty. Banks often keep their creative or web agency too, and bring us in for search, ads, HubSpot and reporting.
