Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engines and commerce are no longer friends. They’re lovers, and the honeymoon’s just getting started. Nearly every purchase made involves search engines. They’re used to find not just retailers, but also reviews, product specs, and social opportunities. Search engines are dominant, and any successful marketing strategy will treat them as such. SEO is a modern necessity.
The image of SEO has been tarnished by several generations of amateurs and con men. However, that doesn’t change the fact that getting on the good side of a search engine is the only way that you make anything happen. Real SEO—not the kind your nephew sells from his basement (I am sure he means well)—is what we offer.SEO isn’t all about sneaking around search engines. Sometimes, it’s about giving them exactly what they want—and local content is what they want.
We’ve known for years that local content is one of the most powerful ways to climb the page. We started building out our processes when search engines were first secretly prioritizing these results. Now, we possess some of the most tested and proven methods on the market.Not all of our Local SEO strategies are advertised; call them “trade secrets”. What we can tell you about, we still do better than just about anyone else.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
A powerful tool in the right circumstances, sort of like a loaded gun. Using either, you run the risk of shooting yourself in the foot.

We develop strategies with an understanding of the hard limits of this technique, and where it has the best potential to deliver the explosive results that only PPC can.
The best ads can draw them in, but they can’t make your visitors stay. Keeping them around all comes back to your landing page, and that’s why we assess your landing page as part of our PPC strategy.
