Local internet marketing consultant for website development and local search engine optimization of small to medium sized businesses serving regional and local clientele

Located in Upstate New York's Tech Valley / Capital District Region, we practice the art and science of what is known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), delivering affordable local internet marketing solutions as a consultant for commercial website owners in the Northeast.

If you are a company president, professional, business owner or director who has limited experience with the development and maintenance of your company's website, and have found the SEO / internet marketing learning curve too time consuming to be effectively managed in-house, or if you have looked into retaining one of the larger SEO firms and found their services quite cost prohibitive, please consider the following:

Our experience in the field began in 2003 when we launched Creative Synergy, which was originally designed to place college students in touch with the online services they needed to get their written assignments done properly and handed in on time.  This site has since grown into a valuable information and referral source for writers of all stripes.

Then, in 2004, we launched Credit Cards Kiosk, a financial services related website, and it, along with Creative Synergy, continue to serve as our online laboratories where we study the science and subtleties of factors such as visitor accessibility, keyword density, affiliate marketing, internal and external linking structures, and many others.

Perhaps the best examples of what our services can do for your small to medium sized organization, though, are demonstrated by an examination of what we have done for our Landscape Maintenance Services Division's website, Creative Greenery, over the past year. 

In January of 2007, although the site was still less than one year old, we implemented a modest but comprehensive SEO plan.  We submitted to local directories and local search engines, wrote and submitted for syndication one keyword rich feature article and one online press release, and negotiated one optimized inbound text link from a highly respected website, related to our industry.  Over the course of the next six months, we monitored the results of the changes we'd made, and 'tweaked' our website, as needed.

The results have been quite dramatic.  Between April 1, 2007 - November 30, 2007, the number of unique (new) visitors to our website rose 229% above that of the previous year, repeat visitors were up 251%, and page views per visitor, up 171%.  Most gratifying, 20% - 25% of all new business for 2007 originated through our website - at a fraction of the cost of television, radio and even newspaper display advertising! 

In fact, you can check our current natural rankings, real-time, by clicking the following links to see how prominently Creative Greenery places on page 1 in MSN for "schenectady landscape maintenance services", page 1 in Yahoo for "schenectady area landscaper" and  page 1 in Google for "landscape contractor schenectady".  We also place similarly on Google Mobile, and Yahoo Local / Mobile.  And, because all of these listings are in the "natural" search results, not paid inclusion or pay-per-click (PPC), it doesn't cost a cent when someone clicks on a link!  [View Our Services] [Back to Top]

Let us provide the same kind of positive search engine results for your local business website.  While we cannot guarantee identical page 1 prominence for any keyword in any industry (we don't get to tell the search engines who goes on the natural results section of pg.1 - no SEO / SEM firm does - and the honest ones tell you that up front), we promise you that we will bring the sum of our real-world small business experience with website development and promotion, augmented by certifications in "Search Engine Optimization", and "Web Site Promotion", issued by the International Webmasters Association / HTML Writer's Guild to bear on the tasks of crafting your website to drive sales, positioning it where your target audience can easily find it, and ensuring that it becomes an integral and revenue generating element of your overall marketing plan and business model.

So, if you're a lawyer in Troy, NY, who would like to be on the top of the major and local search engine results for keyword phrases like, "top attorney Troy", or an ophthalmologist in Albany's Pine Bush who wants local search traffic for, "Albany eye surgeon ", or even a commercial real estate broker in Saratoga Springs who wants to place prominently for, "commercial properties Saratoga", we are the internet consultant specializing in local search engine optimization, with affordable internet marketing solutions designed to drive significant amounts of qualified (interested) local traffic - and national and international traffic looking to buy in your locality.

While the results of a successfully implemented local SEO campaign may be dramatic and gratifying, they do not happen over night.  The first significant benefits of a program begun today would not be seen for up to 3 months, with full effects after 6 months.  Don't wait any longer.  You made a significant investment in your company's website.  If it isn't delivering a reasonable return on Investment (ROI), then you need to make some changes - and we're here to guide you through them.

If you desire higher natural ranking in the 'search engine results pages' ( SERP's ), highly targeted search traffic looking to buy locally, and the improved page rank and link popularity that comes from having fresh, optimized content, and many one-way links from quality websites, we are here to provide the strategic planning, technical expertise and creative synergy you need to get local traffic and convert visitors to buyers.

Excerpt from a recent article about local search users -

"Local SEM (Search Engine Marketing) firm WebVisible and Nielsen last year surveyed U.S. consumers about their local search behavior. 
Search engines were rated the number one resource for finding local business information. Here's how the responses broke down in terms of professed usage:

Local search usage

--Search engines: 74%
--Print yellow pages: 65%
--Internet yellow pages: 50%
--Traditional newspapers: 44%
--Print white pages: 33%
--Television: 29%
--Consumer review websites: 18 %

(Percentages are greater than 100 because respondents were permitted to select more than one answer.)

Traditional directory usage down:

--6% use telephone directories more than they did 2 years ago.
--43% use it the same.
--52% use it less.

The survey further revealed -

67% would prefer using an Internet yellow pages resource than the big yellow print book... 84% say the Internet yellow pages is a much faster way of finding local businesses than the print version; 63% say the business listings are more current online; 45% prefer the search tools offered in the online version; 81% said the Internet was vital to their lifestyle. 

Among this group, 90% had used the Internet to search for a local business. Just over 70% of survey participants say they prefer to stay within a 20 minute drive of their homes to reach a business. And 80% of respondents say they have researched a product or service online and then made their purchase offline from a local business."
