I've been helping businesses for over 25 years - going back to 1998 actually - Conway and the Grand Strand since 2014 - and along the way I've built the largest independent local media and business network consisting of 65+ grand strand area websites, business directories, community pages and 150+ social media channels all Designed To Help Local Grand Strand Businesses Get Seen. No other agency, chamber, or organization can help your business be seen the way that I can. I've worked with websites, SEO, social media, photography, video, advertising and just about every other aspect of promoting a business. Today, I use that experience (and the network I've built) to do 1 thing and 1 thing only - help local businesses reach more people!

But... Here Is The Thing

I Don't Want To Just Get Your Business Seen...
I Want To Make Sure Your Business Is Ready To Be Seen FIRST!

You See, I Feel That Most Businesses Are Doing It Wrong. Too many businesses throw up a website, create a Facebook Page, and think that's all they need to do. But there's MUCH more to it! An outdated or confusing website, an unprofessional Facebook Page, or photos that don't represent your business well can actually turn potential customers away. And here's the kicker » You shouldn't be spending money on advertising unless your website, social media, and even your physical location (if you have one) are working FOR your business, not against it! That's why I developed Grand Strand Marketing and My 3-Step Process. First, let's review what you already have. Then, let's fix what needs fixing. And only THEN should we focus on getting more people to see your business!

My goal is simple: Help you attract more customers without wasting your advertising dollars or your time!

Ever Paid For Advertising And Gotten ZERO New Customers?

And then heard excuses like...

Step #1   Let's See What You Already Have.

I'm going to start by taking a look at Your Website, Your Facebook Page, and, if you have one, your Storefront, Office, Restaurant, or other brick-and-mortar location. Wait.. No Website? No Facebook Page? No Problem! Head On Over To WebsiteAndSocialMedia.com and I'll Help You There First. Then You Can Return Back Here To Getting Seen With Me On Grand Strand Marketing.

Before we worry about getting more people to see your business, let's first see what they're going to find - both online and in person.

There's not much sense in you spending money to get more people to see your business if what they find doesn't make them want to do business with you.

If your Website is outdated or confusing, your Facebook Page doesn't look very professional, your photos don't represent your business well, or your brick-and-mortar location just isn't making the impression it should, those things need to be fixed first.

I don't want you wasting your time, and especially your money, getting more people to see your business until we're confident they're going to like what they see.

Step #2   Let's Fix What Needs To Be Fixed.

I'll let you know what should be changed, updated, improved, or added. From your website and social media to your photos, videos, messaging, store signage, physical location appearance, customer experience and overall presentation, we'll look for practical ways to make your business easier to understand, easier to find and more appealing to potential customers.

And, this includes SEO - Search Engine Optimization - for your website! Your website might look great, but what's going on behind the scenes? SEO plays a very important role in helping Google and other search engines understand your business, where you're located, and the products or services you offer. Things like missing or poorly written page titles, descriptions, headings, image ALT text, and even the content on your website could be limiting your opportunities to be discovered by potential customers.

And now there's AI Search! You may have even heard the term GEO - Generative Engine Optimization. More people are using Google's AI-powered search features and tools like ChatGPT to discover businesses, products, and services. The good news? Many of the same SEO fundamentals that help traditional search engines understand your website also help make your business information accessible and understandable to AI-powered search systems. There's no magic trick or guaranteed shortcut! I'll look for important SEO issues and opportunities for improvement, then help address reasonable corrections within the scope of our work.

After all, just because someone can find your website by searching for your business name doesn't mean they'll find you when searching for what your business actually offers!

And here's the good news - most of the things we might find that need to be fixed or improved are already included in my price. I'm not just going to point out what's wrong and hand you a list. Whenever possible, I'm going to help you fix it. If we uncover something that would require substantial additional work or expense, we'll talk about that first - there won't be any surprises.

Step #3   Then, Let's Get More People To See You.

Once your Facebook Page and Website and Physical Location (if you have one) are ready, it will be time to expand your reach! You'll receive exposure throughout my Grand Strand Network of 65+ local websites and 150+ local social channels.

• Your business will be set-up with a Permanent Full-Page Profile (see a profile) on my network featuring your company information, website, contact details, logo, photos, video, map, full facebook page feed and more. And, your profile will also include special Schema Markup - a very unique behind-the-scenes coding that helps Google better understand your business, what you do, where you're located, how to contact you, etc.

Once we've got your full-page profile all set-up and added to the network, you'll also receive...

• A Listing/Placement/Link of your new profile, on any of my networks' relevant business categories, city, local, regional and state-wide websites & pages, directory listings, and there will be opportunities for added visibility of your business through our news, press, showcase, event and community websites. - see all
• A Google and Bing Indexing Request! Once your new business profile on our network is live, I don't simply sit back and hope search engines eventually discover it! I personally take the time to manually submit your new business profile URL directly to Google and Bing - America's two leading traditional search engines! Using Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, I request that both search engines crawl and consider your new business profile for indexing. And here's something else worth knowing: Bing's search technology also helps power search results on other platforms, including Yahoo! It's just one more way I go the extra mile to help your business get discovered online. While indexing and search rankings are never guaranteed, I believe every opportunity to help potential customers find your business is worth pursuing!
• A Chance For A Higher Google Search Ranking! The more places online a business can be found, the more opportunities that business has to reach potential customers. More importantly, Google considers links from other websites (like mine) when determining search rankings. More websites = better (higher) ranking chances. The higher your business appears in search results the better. So, having your business featured on multiple relevant local websites such as mine, can create more opportunities for your business to appear higher in google search results. Remember, Magazine ads, radio commercials, and billboards don't directly improve your Google rankings - only online sources do!
• A Social Media Promotional Push! We have close to 100,000 combined followers on all of our Facebook pages! We'll make posts on many of them (those related to your business, location, which network site(s) you were added to, etc.) announcing your placement in our network! This will bring some pretty good instant attention to your business and your new profile with us! And, I'll also share the news on my personal facebook page as well (@JoeyOConnor) where I have the 5,000 friends limit (and many additional followers) so you will receive exposure on both business pages and personal pages!
• A 30 Day Follow-Up Review! About 30 days after we've completed everything, I'll take another look at your business, website, social media and overall online presence to see how everything is looking, answer any questions you may have, and see if there's anything else we should adjust or improve.
