Lay the groundwork for lasting online success
Starting your digital journey without a proper setup is like building a house on a swamp.
Think of your digital presence as the roots of a tree. Without strong roots, even the best branches won’t thrive. Our Digital Marketing Foundation service builds that solid base, so every future marketing move you make delivers bigger results with less effort.
We handle the details that trip up many small businesses, like mismatched addresses or scattered profiles. This means search engines trust your info faster, putting you in front of local customers who are ready to buy. Skip this step, and you risk wasting ad dollars on a shaky setup that confuses algorithms and hides your business.
By starting here, you multiply the impact of ads, SEO, or social efforts down the line. It’s a one-time push that keeps paying off, helping you stand out in crowded local searches.
Get your key online profiles set up right
Your business needs to show up consistently across the web to build trust with search engines and customers. We claim and optimize the spots that matter most, turning them into assets that help search engines and AIs trust your brand.
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first thing your customers see when searching locally, and the centerpiece of your online presence. We optimize it fully and make sure it reflects your business’ unique strengths.
Many businesses miss out on free exposure from sites like Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yelp, Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and LinkedIn. We check for existing profiles, claim any missing ones, and add basic optimizations like bios, links, and images. This creates a unified online footprint that reinforces your location and services everywhere, making it easier for customers as well as search engines and AI to find and trust you.
Prep your assets for future marketing wins
A strong foundation includes tools and content ready for action. We create starter materials and insights that fuel your next steps, saving you time and guess work.
We produce a basic set of short videos and custom images highlighting your services, team, or location, perfect for posting on your new profiles or using in ads later. Send us your existing photos, and we’ll optimize their metadata like titles, descriptions, and geotags to make them perform better on search engines and profiles.
We do keyword research to spot the easiest wins in your niche, like terms with good search volume but low competition, pointing you toward phrases that can bring quick results. Plus, we set up Google Analytics and Search Console to monitor your site’s performance, requiring website access. If you lack a site, check our winning websites service to get one built right.
Build credibility and local rankings with consistent citations
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone across the web. Getting them right builds credibility with various algorithms, improving your visibility.
We sign you up with the major citation aggregators for a full year, with easy renewal options. These powerhouses distribute your info to hundreds of directories automatically, broadening your reach fast and helping search engines confirm your details are legit.
We also craft an initial package, based on your industry, location, and unique positioning, which we analyze in a Strategy Session. This could include niche directories or extra boosts based on your budget, prioritizing spots that maximize impact without overspending.
Lean on our expert guidance every step
Starting strong requires the right info from you, and we provide clear direction to keep things clean long-term. It’s about partnership, not just a service.
Before we begin, complete our full form with basics like contact details, plus extras like photos. We need at least a few shots to optimize profiles, but more helps us do an even better job for you. This step is required to build accurately, preventing delays or mix-ups.
We also hand you simple instructions for basic ongoing online activities, like handling reviews, periodic updates, and what to do if you ever set up new online profiles. It’s vital to keep your profiles consistent and algorithm-friendly, so we give tips to help avoid common pitfalls that could undo your progress.
