That sounds pretty basic, right? You would think so. But when I first started talking to business owners, I was surprised. I found out many have little control over their online presence and were paying for services they knew little or nothing about.
For example, in reference to control, some pay hundreds of dollars a month to maintain a website. If they ever discontinue that service they will lose their website. It’s as if they’ve rented the website all this time.
Or perhaps they pay a service to list their business in several online directories. This is an important service and can help with the online visibility of your company. But what happens to those listings if you ever stop paying the monthly fee? It seems the online business listings will stop as well.

I could go on and on with examples of confusion and lack of ownership I discovered in a few short months. It’s true, not all online marketing services or businesses operate that way. And it’s also true that these models probably have a place in some companies. But often business owners don’t even know what they are getting for their money. It’s important to ask questions up front. But it can be hard to know what questions to ask.
These findings were very motivating to me as I decided to start my own company. I knew there were ways to help companies improve their online presence AND keep them in the driver’s seat.
I also was confident I could explain these ways in simple, easy-to-understand language. This would empower business owners to make wise decisions with their online presence.

Even if you’ve had a bad experience in the past with an SEO or Web Design company, reach out to me with your questions. I’d be happy to answer them and help any way that I can.
I do not believe in a one-size-fits all approach. Each business is unique. I will start the process with a consultation to discuss your needs and business goals. Based on that conversation, and some research of my own, I will make suggestions for your business. Once you understand my suggestions, you may decide if you’d like to move forward with them or not.
If you’d like to start a conversation, please feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to hear from you.
Best wishes,
