Good online marketing is all about Return on Investment. A website that looks beautiful quickly loses value unless it becomes an online tool to generate business.

Similarly, a Google marketing campaign loses value if it is not properly managed by experienced experts. Do-it-yourself online marketing can come at the high cost of taking you away from what you do best: managing your business.

The purpose of all marketing is to drive traffic to your business. Whether or not new business comes through your website, the important thing is that it finds you. My job at is to help make sure it does.
