GoBeRewarded Marketing Agency relocates to new building with more space in Vista Village area

Web design and advertising agency GoBeRewarded is moving to a new location in the downtown Vista area.  In April, GoBeRewarded will move to 249 S. Indiana Avenue, also known as the former Empowered Firearms & Training Building.  It is located behind the Vistonian and the New Community Church of Vista and next to Pepper Tree Frosty ice cream and Best Pizza and Brew of Vista. 


The move comes after outgrowing its existing space along W. Vista Way, close to the Interstate 78 and Emerald Avenue exit.  Currently, the agency sits next to the Tri-City Medical Center and Tri-City Veterinary Center along the 78 corridor.

After searching for months and weighing several options, GoBeRewarded CEO and owner Aaron Gobidas chose a new location that is close to our existing one yet now in the heart of Vista.  The new space is three times larger than our existing one and will feature private meeting rooms for clients and employees.

Our current space only has one floor which is divided into a studio, conference room, and work area.  Now the full-fledged office will feature special spaces devoted to the unique services offered and be readily available for workshops and seminars.  The new offices will be more spacious and provide the perfect environment for meeting with clients and local businesses.

Plans to relocate originated when the agency could no longer expand its staffing operations and services.   “We have a strategic plan to continuously add to our organization with additional departments and services but right now we just don’t have the space,” said Gobidas. “Now we’ll be able to take clients out to lunch at the restaurants nearby and I think retention for our existing clients will be another differentiating factor.”

The new property is located at a key corner in the Historic Downtown District of Vista, with the Paseo Santa Fe area to the South.  There is significant mid-rise residential and mixed-use development planned and in-process along the Paseo Santa Fe area and hundreds of new units are anticipated. 


The location will continue to serve as a prime location for clients traveling from north San Diego County and southern San Diego.

“We've been growing quickly over the last few years, so it will be nice to move into a much bigger building, in a better area,” said Lead Web Designer Matt W.  "I was one of the first three people hired 5 years ago, so it's really rewarding to see our web design, media, and digital advertising teams expand to the point that we need a new office.” 

As a board member of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, I think it’s only fitting that we be surrounded by other Vista businesses.  This is a great opportunity for us to thrive in an environment that contributes to local growth in the downtown area.  I see moving as a further investment in the Vista community,” said Gobidas.

This location is within walking distance from downtown Vista and close to several restaurants in Vista Village.  It is also still close to several of our existing clients in Carlsbad and Oceanside and minutes away from the 78 corridor. 


GoBeRewarded originally started as a text message marketing business by owners Aaron Gobidas and his wife Madeline in 2015 in their one-bedroom apartment.  After seven years, it has grown into a multi-department digital marketing and advertising business that serves North County San Diego and beyond.

This week, while helping a Vista nail salon improve their SEO, something unusual caught our attention. In the Google Map Pack, under a listing of local nail salons, a new option appeared: “Have AI check prices.” Naturally, we clicked it.

ChatGPT has transformed how we search for information , from writing help to answering complex questions. It’s fast, conversational, and remarkably capable at understanding what we mean even when we’re vague. But when it comes to finding local businesses or services , ChatGPT isn’t ready to replace Google Maps, Yelp, or other local search tools just yet. Here’s why ChatGPT is powerful but not perfect when it comes to local business discovery.
