Internet Marketing Services

Local Internet Marketing is when your site ranks for keywords related to your product or service in your geographic area. Here is an example of a local search placement for one of my clients, Blue Flame Bartending :

Local results will appear in the top of the first results page under 2 conditions:

1. The search engine user put a city or state in the search box with their initial search query like “Columbia Internet Marketing Consultant”
2. The search engine deemed that a generic phrase like “carpet cleaning” should be local in nature so it feeds results from the location of the users IP address.

These are the search engines and databases that your company needs to show up in:

Google local, Google maps, Yahoo local, Yellow pages, MSN local, MSN live search, MSN yellow pages, MSN Maps, AOL local, AOL yellow pages, Yellow pages, SNC yellow pages, True local, Infospace, MapQuest, Superpages, local.com, Anywho.com, 411.com, Areaguides.net, Address.com, YellowAssistance.com, Citysearch, Insiderpages.

(The results from these engines account for about 95% of all local searches)

For just $199 a month I can get your company into all of these local databases.

Summer special! Through August 31st, receive $50 off the first month and $100 off the next two months. You save $250!

Remember too, our local internet marketing service is performance based. That means that you pay nothing unless we produce results and we will gladly refund your payment. By working with our company you obtain targeted prospects, and you only pay when we deliver those leads to you. Our results are measurable. You know if your advertising dollar is being used effectively.

Local Search Marketing consistently ranks among the highest  return on the investment of your marketing dollars.

A few years ago, businesses would could afford to use any form of advertising available. They would advertise in newspapers, magazines, on the radio, and on television with the hopes of receiving a positive response. Measuring the effectiveness of the advertising was almost impossible. Things have changed drastically over the past year and businesses are now more concerned with saving money. They want to get the most for their marketing dollars, and aren’t looking to waste money on ineffective marketing.

If you own a small-business, a local internet marketing service is exactly what you need.  It allows you to cut costs, gain customers, and increase revenue.

Website Design

Every business or organizational website needs to be optimized for marketing. A great designs or beautiful website in and of itself will not get you the exposure you need. Our specialty is combining both design and marketing to increase your exposure as much as possible.

We also develop a unique strategy for each client in order to focus on their specific business needs.

We can provide everything; from a fresh look to a completely custom built storefront application, we deliver a cost-effective solution that out-performs many other higher priced firms.
