Digital Marketing for Local Businesses
You are busy running your business, and many times, successful business owners don't have time to run their marketing. However, if you aren't preparing for your next round of business, it may never come.
Have a Predicatble Marketing Plan in Place, Designed Specifically For You
In the digital age, you are required to be online because if you and your business are not online, you don't exist. From taking care of your website, SEO, Ads/Pay-Per-Click, lead capture, and support, I am here to make sure your business succeeds for years to come!
Why? Because when you succeed, everyone wins.
You tell your customers that it's best to leave their project up to the professionals. It's time you do the same.
What are the pieces to a good Digital Marketing Strategy?
All successful businesses have these digital marketing peaces in place:
Intentionally Designed Website
DIY gets you in the door, but an intentionally designed website speaks directly to your customer and converts! With a website that showcases your services, helps leads contact you quickly, and notifies you right away.
Local Business Profile Optimization
Who would you trust? A business with fifty 5-star reviews or a business with three 2-star reviews? I know who I'd pick. Together, we both grow your review amount and quality while also ensuring that your local business profiles are correctly optimized to show up correctly.
Local Services Pages For Your Location
Want to show up in people's search results? You need to create content and pages to help show Google that you are an authority in your space and answer people's questions along the way. Plus, with the way that both Google and AI operates, you need to make sure that your services are dialed into each location you serve.
Lead Capture & Nurture
Even if people love what they see when they first discover you, some people are going to want to learn more about what you have to offer before they’re ready to work with you. You need to stay in touch with these people even after they leave your website that way you can help them find their way back.
Traditional Google Ads & Local Service Ads
The fastest way to get in front of the right people is to pay to get in front of the right people. Traditional SEO and Google Business Profile helps you get to the top, but Google Ads open the flood gates. Let's say you spend $10 per leads and you land 10% of the leads that come through. You get 50 leads, spend $500, convert 5. How much money could that mean for your business?
Local Advertising
Yard signs, little leagues, soccer clubs, etc., is the best way to establish brand recognition. Working together, we work together to find the best places to advertise your business and keep your business top of mind with people in your local community.
Potential Costs of Not Having a Solid Marketing Plan
Loss of Trust and Authority
As new and other businesses appear, you officially have to compete for people's eyes and attention. If you aren't able to put a solid foot forward at the beginning, potential customers may believe that you are not the correct fit.
Loss of Recommendations
Most local businesses grow by word-of-mouth referrals, and the only way to get those referrals is by serving more customers or clients. You need to make sure you keep getting business so that people can recommend your business.
Loss of Revenue
Money isn't everything – serving your customers is everything. However, without revenue, you can't keep your business going. This is a non-negotiable.

Kind Testimonials From Past and Current Local Business Clients
Marc took our business website to the next level. We really wanted to showcase our products and services AND allow our customers to place orders online with minimal clicks. This has led to a dramatic increase in our online sales. And even better Marc is just a great guy to work with!

Water Time LLC • South Bend, IN
Working with Marc was one of the best decisions our company has ever made, both personally and professionally. We came to him with a long list of needs, wishes and requirements; he not only took the time to truly understand them, but also delivered above and beyond what we asked for. Marc offered thoughtful, strategic suggestions we hadn’t even considered and opened our eyes to new opportunities. We’ve found a long-term creative partner in Marc Hyde Creative, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Marc sure came to the rescue after two costly and failed attempts to create a new website for my company, Magitek, LLC. He patiently listened and learned the full scope of our complex rehabilitation drive controls for powered wheelchairs. His talent resulted in a site that is people friendly, yet packed with the information necessary to present our products. Not an easy task to create a site that is understood by our special end users and Assistive Technology Professionals alike. Marc is extremely capable, efficient, and knowledgeable. His kind approach proved a perfect fit for us and I know you will have the same great experience. We are blessed to have found him.

Highly recommend Marc! He's knowledgeable, quick, responsive, professional, approachable, super kind/friendly and provides amazing quality. If I had a question, he kindly explained the techy stuff to me without making me feel like an idiot (even though tech stuff doesn't come easy to me). My site is now running smoothly and beautifully! He improved my site speed, gave me a strategy for continued image optimization, did some custom coding tweaks to my themed website and helped me keep only the best plugins I needed for my site. I can't say enough praises on working with Marc and I've already recommended him to lots of other bloggers like me. Definitely will use him again for any of my website needs!
