(Reason 1): Secure Your Brand Identity

The Manta article seems to focus on someone stealing a name like Jerry’s Plumbing and stealing their brand. This may or not be an issue in our local market. We do find that many businesses use their business name in their URL (domain name.). However, we find that our best search results are with URLs that contain a keyword with location. For example: Plumbers in Waldorf, MD.

He’s developed an integrated plan that includes our new website design, Google Place Listing and Facebook Fan Page; and he even provided us a free Internet coupon (ZPON) campaign. I’m excited.

He is totally accessible. I can tell his number 1 priority is helping us grow our business. We work together.

“I knew I needed a website. I did that with GoDaddy. But, that website wasn’t really doing anything to promote my business…

Paul redesigned my website and Rick did the SEO work. I quickly started ranking high in Google local search.

Paul and I now meet every week to discuss new strategies on promoting my business.

And, I learned how to do SEO from Rick.

Paul has helped me create content and products, based on my knowledge and experience, that I can sell right from my website. And, it works! We’re on an amazing journey that I’m confident will not only grow my reputation and business, but will also create residual profit for me with the products Paul has helped me create.”
