Digital Marketing Services: You’re Busy Running Your Business. Let Us Help You Get Found Online!

Are you looking for an SEO or digital marketing agency to help grow your business? These days having an online digital marketing presence and using digital marketing services and strategies isn’t optional — it’s a requirement. But let’s face it. Digital marketing can be confusing and overwhelming for most business owners.

And if you’re like me, you get tons of phone calls every week from so-called‘ “expert” digital marketers vying for your money and making BIG and bold promises about how they can help you rank #1 on Google. The truth? Virtually ANYONE can call themselves a “digital marketer” these days. All they have to do is set up a website and start making calls. Do they have to have actual experience with digital marketing? NOPE! That’s why you should only work with reputable digital marketing agencies with years of experience — ones that are experts in their field and have a proven track record.

But here’s a fact: if your business doesn’t have a strong digital marketing strategy and potential clients or customers can’t find you online, your business will struggle and get left behind. You’re the expert at what you do and have better things to worry about (like managing your business!) than trying to learn the latest SEO strategy, writing content for your site or managing your social media channels. So you need to find a digital marketing team that can help you grow your business by building and growing your online presence. Keep reading to find out how we can help your business grow…

To make things even more complicated, you’re probably bombarded with calls and emails from supposed “digital marketing experts” who are vying for your money. They will typically call you with heart-stopping claims about how your business is in trouble if you don’t fix “this” or “that” and if you pay them to do the work, they will solve all your problems. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!

Unfortunately, these days virtually anyone with a computer can call themselves a “digital marketer” and set up a Google Business Profile (GBP) listing (poorly and one that might violate Google’s Terms of Service) and a quick website (that isn’t search engine optimized.)

When you hire a digital marketing agency to help grow your business, you need to hire a digital marketing expert in the industry who is qualified, has credentials and truly knows what they are talking about! (And a true, expert SEO and digital marketer costs money — not a few hundred dollars a month. Think of it this way: if you had a brain tumor, would you look for the cheapest brain surgeon to operate and remove the tumor? Probably not! You’d want the most experienced surgeon with a high success rate. Your business is no different! You want an experienced digital marketing team to work on your company’s digital marketing — not some cheap, cut-rate “agency” that really doesn’t know what they’re doing…)

Your Customers Go Online to Find Products, Services and Businesses

Think about how you look for products or services. When you want to purchase a product or need to hire a service company, what do you do first? If you’re like most consumers – a whopping 97% – you go online to research products or services. Yup. You pull out your mobile smartphone, get out your tablet or turn on your trusty computer, go to Google and do a search for what you’re looking for. If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the search engine results right away, you probably quickly move on, change the search keywords you use on Google and try your luck again until you find websites that have the information you’re looking for.

If you’re like a lot of people, you might even ask a friend or someone you trust for a product or service company recommendation. But once you get that recommendation, chances are you’ll still probably go online to do more research on the recommended company or product. (Oh, and while you’re searching, you’ll probably also take a look at the product or business’ reviews. Reviews are important to a business’s reputation because 88% of buyers trust reviews as much as personal recommendations.); Once you find a company online that has the product or service you’re interested in, THEN you get in your car and drive to that local business or pick up the phone to call them.

As you can see, the Internet is the way to shop and find local businesses…

“3 in 4 people who conduct a local search on their smartphone visit a related business within 24 hours.”
