Who Am I?

SEOBulldog.com| Salt Lake City, UT | 801.871.9099 | [email protected]

1st and Foremost, Father of 4, Married 13 years

Small Business Owner, NOT AN SEO/Web Design Company

Graduate of BYU, 2003

Committed to Growing Your Business, Ethically, Honestly, and Realistically

Fitness Enthusiast, Competitive Men’s Physique Competitor (like Bodybuilding), Certified Personal Trainer

“I'm not an SEO company trying to impress you. What you see, is what you get. You get an SEO consultant that works with you, hand by hand... not a "canned solution" that fits all.”

Page 3: Getting Started With Your Online Presence For Small Business

My Philosophy

• I believe my packages are fairly priced, and get results.• I don’t sell pipe dreams, and silver bullets.• I am the one that does the SEO, BUT, I need you to work with me on it to

achieve results.• It all starts with quality of your site, IF you can take constructive feedback

and make the recommended fixes to your site, we can achieve great results.

SEOBulldog.com| Salt Lake City, UT | 801.871.9099 | [email protected]

The idea is simple: I want to provide you results that STICK and not having you in a constant cycle of ‘pay-me-more” to keep increasing your ranking.

Why Market Online?

• Recent studies have shown that 86% of consumers who use Internet search engines to find a local product or service follow up with a phone call or in-store visit. And 61% of those end up making their purchase offline. As a small business owner, that means you can no longer afford to take your chances with traditional mailers or phone book ads that may or may not be working.

Why is it important for you?

• Simply put, if you aren’t online or have a poor web presence, you are missing out on these customers.

• It is imperative to go where your customers are-online. Don’t be intimidated. You can either learn it or hire a professional.
