8465 Harvard Pl #12 V2P 7Z5 Chilliwack, BC, Canada

An expert dog trainer moved into a new city and had to start her business from scratch. After coming alongside her to launch a new website, videos, GMB map listing, it resulted in her being fully booked in a short period of time. This is what she had to share: "When I moved my business to Chilliwack I knew no one and my website was on page three of Google. As you can imagine things were off to a slow start. I decided to hire Sherman not really knowing what to expect and wow w...as I in for some amazing changes! Not only is my business at the top of Google now, but my schedule book is also full!! He also totally revamped my website, my business logo and added really catching videos to the site. He really works hard for his clients, he has great ideas and he has completely turned things around for me. Definitely recommend using him!!" Unfortunately, due to health reasons, she had to sunset her business. But she's still referring friends to me to help them turn things around for their businesses. Tip 1: Starting from scratch means you have to build a history with Google. Your brand, website, digital assets etc are all individual "entities" (people, places, things) to Google. It has to be matured and to show Google it can be trusted as credible and worth being visible to its search audience. To work with an award-winning SEO who can establish your digital entities and convince Google to give them visibility on page-1 of Google, call me today.

I’m amazed at how simple and easy the process was working with Sherman. It was great to have it done for us, quickly and smoothly wit...h Sherman’s expertise. We now have the professional look and new fresh perspective we need to move forward with our company. What a huge relief!

He went above and beyond what I needed him to do with our branding, website makeover, layouts and copywriting! It was great to have his professional marketing wisdom to improve our company’s presence, but also keeping who we are as a company in mind. Highly recommended." Tip: Know your desired outcomes.

After working with one of the largest gyms in the city, this is what the owner/manager had to share: "Sherman is amazing!

We are now moving i...nto SEO strategies to stand out in the marketplace. We highly recommend Sherman for all your digital marketing needs!"

With this gym, we attacked it on all fronts that included a website that applied search engine optimization strategies, an optimized Google map listing (aka Google My Business), a Google Street View 360 virtual tour of their 30,000 sq ft space, and video marketing for promotions. For a digital marketing campaign that attacks on multiple fronts, call me today. Tip 2: Ask your specialist for a game plan, not just a technique. They should be able to provide you with a spreadsheet of the marketing channels and timelines if you are open to a variety of strategies for the attack. This also assumes you have a healthy budget to accommodate multiple strategies at the same time. For an assertive/aggressive attack plan, call me today.
