Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
The most recent project was to rebuild a 200-page website with a custom search engine. Optimized the website for specific locations and advertised on Google and Social Media channels. The company's profits increased by 20%+ over the year, And we were able to generate over 2K paid and organic leads;
Another recent project was to improve lead generation through B2B email campaigns. The results were impressive. In one month we have generated 5X more leads and conversations than the company was able to produce in 2 years.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I often see small businesses get into a year contract with a large successful marketing company to do SEO and other services and get zero results after paying thousands of dollars per month for a year or more.
Don't be fooled by fancy presentations and salespeople who promise to get you results. Large marketing firms do not create custom marketing strategies to deliver results; they have set packages that they offer to everyone.
As a business owner, you need to understand the strategies you can implement now to achieve measurable results. If you want to generate organic leads, you need to work on your Search Engine Optimization, not only adding a few optimized articles per month and backlinks. You need to work on your website's useability, speed, call to action, messaging, social media presence, optimization, content, video, and much more.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
- Your company's short and long-term goals
- What budget spend are you comfortable allocating for a specific project?

- What is the most profitable product(s)/services you offer?
