An SEO and PPC Tip for Maryland (MD) Business Owners

Don't look at Google's search results pages as paid ads and organic (free) listings. View the page as a virtual monopoly board. The more listings (properties) you have, the more visitors, leads and sales you'll receive! The most effective search engine marketing strategies combine BOTH paid search and search engine optimization (SEO) activities”

Services & Expertise:

  • Search Engine Marketing
  • Online Marketing & Lead Generation
  • Marketing & Website Analytics
  • Website Design & Optimization
  • Google Analytics Consulting

If you own a business and you're still on the fence about going "all in" with online marketing, you're being left behind by your savvy competitors. Often, the issue is lack of data. If you could see about your business what I see about mine (and our clients), you wouldn't feel a sense of uncertainty or risk when considering increasing your online marketing budget, you'd feel a sense of urgency and excitement! I have an [extreme] passion for new media and online marketing and a special affinity for small service businesses interested in growing. If you own or operate a small (or not so small) business and are interested in getting more leads and sales from the Internet, I'd love to meet you and learn more about your situation.

I live in Silver Spring, Maryland (MD) - which is between Baltimore, Maryland (MD) and Washington, DC area. Although, I focus most of my time working with companies in the Mid-Atlantic - Maryland (MD), DC, Virginia (VA), I travel fairly frequently between Florida (FL), North Carolina (NC), Ohio (OH) and Chicago, IL. If you're located in one of those areas, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

SEO + Marketing Analytics:
Every businesses (potential) low cost lead generation strategy

Far too many businesses treat their website as if it were a brochure. If you own a service business - a bathroom remodeling company, a home improvement company, a plumbing company, a roofing company, etc. - your website is your (potential) number one lead generation and sales tool - period!

If you hired your a friend to build your website and you took a "set it and forget it" approach, you're leaving a ridiculous amount of money on the table and your competitors are laughing all the way to the bank! SEO, the process of making changes to your website in order to make your site easier for search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing to find, index and rank, is an unbeievably inexpensive marketing tactic for generating high-quality leads.
