Spend money to make money

Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus was definitely ahead of his time when he wrote that. Like 2400 years ahead of his time. Nothing I say will matter in 2400 years so kudos to Titus.

Digital advertising isn't an option for any business these days - if you're not spending time and money marketing your services online, you're not capturing all the business that's available to you. And you're losing money (right Titus?!).

There are SO many ways to market your business online and there are methods to the madness - ways to be cost savvy without sacrificing reach, guerrilla tactics to leverage free platforms in a meaningful way, and more. Each business will require a different mix of platforms and media to make the biggest impact...so read on below but don't get overwhelmed - we can help you navigate the best path forward for your budget.

Cons: WHY IS THIS PLATFORM SO CONFUSING?! Keywords can be competitive

 

That pesky Google has its hands in everything these days, including your ad spend.

Google Ads are a great way to reach folks who are search for exactly what you're offering. A well-conceptualized and executed search campaign will funnel people who are ready to "buy" right to your landing page.
