We are currently in discussions about acquiring some websites. We are also open to the idea of developing sites from scratch.
  • We are just finishing up our Real Estate guide to generate traffic to your website and generating leads. The book is geared towards real estate agents but the principals are the exact same for any website owner.
  • We also plan on driving our content development service. As we feel blogs and websites aren’t being updated on a daily basis and in the online world to be successful, you need to be updated daily and provide relevant information. Wouldn’t it be nice to hire professional writers with SEO experience, have articles promoted on social media while you focus on generating sales to your site. Our clients who use our content development service have more time now to focus on branding, marketing, sales, and most importantly customer interaction. It is about providing value to our clients. The more value we can provide our clients, the more we feel they will be satisfied with our services.
