So how did we get here? Let’s rewind a bit.
How It All Started: The Birth of All Nation Restoration
Back in 2010, Ben started All Nation Restoration with nothing but a truck, a toolbox, and a work ethic that wouldn’t quit. He wasn’t backed by a big corporate name, and he didn’t have a long list of clients waiting for him. What he did have was a deep knowledge of restoration work and a commitment to doing the job right—every single time.
Growing the Business, Building a Reputation
That commitment to quality didn’t go unnoticed. Before long, word-of-mouth started working in Ben’s favor, and more jobs started rolling in. That’s when Chris Moreno joined the operation—Ben’s longtime friend and an all-around reliable guy you’d want in your corner.
Together, they focused on treating customers like neighbors, not transactions. They showed up when they said they would, did the job right the first time, and refused to cut corners. Their reputation grew so fast that they started having to turn down jobs every single day because they simply couldn’t keep up with demand.
It was a great problem to have, but it was a sign of something bigger: it was time to grow.
From Fixing Homes to Fixing Marketing: The Rep Lock Story
By 2016, All Nation Restoration was thriving, but there was one massive roadblock: traditional marketing wasn’t cutting it anymore.
The Yellow Pages? Useless.
Relying solely on word-of-mouth? Too slow.
Ben knew they needed a real digital presence—but he wasn’t about to pay an overpriced agency for mediocre results. Instead, he did what he always does: figured it out himself.
SEO, PPC, Google Ads—you name it, he learned it. And when Chris saw what Ben was up to, he jumped in too, trading drywall dust for digital marketing courses.
Then came Bray Taylor—a longtime friend with a sharp eye for strategy and a passion for helping small businesses grow. Together, the three of them built Rep Lock Marketing, a marketing agency created by small business owners, for small business owners.
What started as a way to save Ben’s own business became a game-changing service for others.
