Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We offer 10% off all website design and Wordpres design options. All websites INCLUDE SEO, keyword targeting, Google Analytics, tracking, monthly maintenance, security, and best practices.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Onboarding is one of the most crucial elements of any new client. Thus, we work closely with you, and your team, and provide a well-discovered and researched digital strategy prior to engagement.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

As the President of Searchology and The Cheif Searchologist, I have 20 + years of digital marketing, I was an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago [grad/under grad[ teaching digital marketing, search engine optimization, paid search, Google Analytics, and digital marketing. In addition, I was a corporate instructor teaching 2 courses in Google Analytics and Digital Marketing.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started out with a local magazine called Velocity in 1998. Digital was still in its infancy and I took to it immediately. I've stayed in the digital marketing and Internet marketing field ever since.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We have worked in almost every business verticle for B2B, B2C, and M2B. From funeral homes to Fortune 500 companies. We've seen it all during our time in the digital marketing space.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We had a pretty massive website design project that took about 3 months to complete.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Read client reviews and don't ever be afraid to ask questions. Make sure that you read the fine print. And no matter what...you MUST hold the keys to your own castle. Don't work with companies that don't provide you with the access you need [and in many cases] own. Lastly, if ANYONE says they can guarantee you positons on Google...RUN. Why? They don't control Google. Thus, if they make a promise like that...it is a sure sign of a shady digital marketing firm.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Depends on the project. But here are a few things to keep in mind. 1. Ask about project scope and keep your eye on project creep. IE - some projects can get very heavy very quickly. 2. Ask for pricing upfront. If they can't tell you in short order...it may not be worth it in the long/short term. 3. Make sure to ask about tracking tools and what THEIR expectations are based on the potential work ahead. 4. Ask about reporting, report expectations, and communication levels. 5. Ask them about budgeting and how transparent they are with YOUR money.
