All business and technological aspects of a web design/marketing company. This includes daily operations management, project management, inside/outside sales, and programming.
By specializing in e-commerce systems I was able to assist clients in the introduction to, set up of, marketing/promotion, and maintenance of an e-commerce site.
search engine marketing and promotion was performed through various strategies. When using Pay-Per-Click campaigns Google AdWords was the chosen application. Link campaign management, landing pages, and various xml feeds for an over all SEM strategy.
Through the use of such tools as WordTracker and Web Position keyword research and reporting was vital for Search Engine Optimization. Finding the relevant keywords in lower competitive searches and being able to report to clients with exact stats not only increased traffic to the clients web site but also gave them satisfaction that their campaigns were being productive.
