Internet Marketing and Research Services

My firm works with around 4-6 retainer clients at a time.  Before I engage with a client, I’ll have questions about attitude, history and expectations.  Frequently, I will be fully booked and we can schedule your project for the future or I’ll provide a strong referral.   The only goals is to help you be successful without over promising or under delivering.

Why Am I Qualified To Work on SEM/ORM Projects?

I’ve been intensely involved in the web since 1990, and a full-time business consultant in that space since 1997.  I do not do this work “on the side” or after hours - it’s my full time gig. The skills that I possess have been a natural foundation for helping businesses gain market share, save money and discover new niches - and I love my work. My language is simple, and I do not mince words.  I’ve found that brutal honesty and solid planning is the fastest way to success online.  Fail fast, correct quickly, surge forward and dominate.

Why Should You Hire Me?

All businesses have to watch how they spend their money, and that includes money spent on web consultants.  Trouble is, many aren’t used to measuring effects of marketing.  So when I’m asked when a website will pay for itself, a good first step to answering is to get a list on paper like this one.

Reasons People Hire Me:

• Our competition is eating our lunch.
• We have no idea what works or what’s a waste.
• Negative information about our firm is showing up in search engines
• We spend too much time on the phone with non-buying prospects.
• Our billable hours are far too low.
• We’re losing customers to on-line buyers.
• Our yellow page ad isn’t working.
• Nobody ever looks past our home page on the website.

Some can be addressed with a smartly designed site and marketing, others can’t. My job is to help you find those ways.  Forget fancy promises and flashy animations, pre-planning meetings and PowerPoint decks.  I’m here to give real help.

SEM can have a HUGE ROI. A few ways your SEM project can earn its keep:

• New prospects find you, like you, and make contact.
• Existing customers get what they need on line.
• Negative sentiment about your company is muted and managable.
• Your confidence is bolstered by proudly sending people to your site.
• Your website is taking orders and providing on-line sales support.
• Your website is freeing customer service staff by providing many answers on-line.
• Your website helps you understand your customers.

So go ahead and make a list - send it to me.  I will do my best to give you some ideas you will find truly useful, no matter who you hire to help (if anyone.)
