As a local business, it’s critical to have a strong online presence. A way for potential customers in your community to find your products or services, connect with you, and hire you.

When many businesses begin exploring strategies to promote their website and reach people online, the terms “marketing” and “advertising” tend to be interchangeable. But they’re entirely different animals that go hand-in-hand to work together to drive more potential customers to your website.
We are one of the few local firms who connect-the-dots between marketing and advertising and leverage each other for the greatest of benefits.
Digital Advertising (Paid)
Digital advertising (also called ‘online advertising’ or ‘internet advertising’) most commonly includes pay-per-click (PPC) Google Ads and Microsoft Ads on the AOL, Bing, and Edge browsers. These are the platforms that promote ads at the very top and bottom of nearly every SERP (search engine results page) as well as on local map results, and tons of other places, like other websites! Digital advertising has been widely published as having the greatest return on investment (ROI) potential of all online advertising and marketing channels.
Digital Marketing (Non-Paid or Organic)
Digital marketing, on the other hand, encompasses all your digital assets, like your website, content, images, videos, PDF files, podcasts, and business listings like those on Google or Yelp. The results listed on the SERPs that are not an “Ad” are called organic listings, as they were not bought or paid for. Instead, search engines deem these organic listings as the most relevant matches to a search query.
We offer a wide range of paid advertising services to help local businesses get instant visibility in the SERPs, map results, and even on other websites – including your competitors!

Results in search that are not ads are considered organic, or earned-rankings. This means you don’t pay for them, as with PPC. Organic results tend to be more trusted by searchers when deciding whether to click a paid or non-paid result.
