Five Steps to Success

1. Optimize Your Presence

Establish and elevate your website, social, mobile, and, if applicable, local visibility. Just as a new business would open up a store or get real estate in the offline world, it is just as important for a business to "open up" or take ownership of their online real estate.

2. Manage Your Reputation

Leverage your online real estate as listening tools to understand what your customers are saying about you.

3. Become An Authority

Engage and network within online communities and provide advice and insights on your area of expertise.

4. Convert Visitors to Contacts

Focus in on the traffic your marketing activities are generating and how to effectively convert that traffic into revenue.

5. Retain Customers & Grow

It is much easier to get more work from exisiting customers than to get new customers. In this step, you build systems to continuously stay in front of your customers to earn repeat business.
