I have been doing reputation management for clients since before most people knew what it was. In the early days of internet marketing, it meant pushing down bad press releases and managing what showed up on the first page of a Google search for your name. Today it is largely a Google reviews conversation — […]
There is a ceiling on what traditional page-by-page SEO can accomplish in terms of scale. Writing individual pages for every keyword variation, every geographic permutation, every product or service combination is slow, expensive, and usually incomplete. Programmatic SEO removes that ceiling. What Programmatic SEO Is Programmatic SEO is the practice of building large volumes of […]
Facebook and Instagram Ads are one of the most powerful and most misused tools in local digital marketing. I have managed campaigns for Grand Strand and South Florida businesses across a wide range of industries, and the gap between campaigns that generate real leads and campaigns that burn budget almost always comes down to the […]
One of the most common situations I encounter with new clients is a website that was built a few years ago, launched, and then essentially abandoned. No updates. No maintenance. No new content. Sometimes the plugins have not been updated in 18 months. Sometimes there are broken links on every page. And the business owner […]
