Many claim they can do SEO. Can you trust them? NO!
SEO is not smoke and mirrors. Do your homework to find the best.
Not all of them.
Do your homework! Research Internet marketing consultants before you sign a contract.
Search Engine criteria changes constantly. Unfortunately, there are a great many national and international companies who say they know SEO. Many promise to get you on page 1 of Google. Even Google will tell you this is an empty promise.
Some Internet consultants are using their clients as a crutch while they look for their next full-time employer. They are active for a while, then disappear.
Internet optimization is not smoke and mirrors. SEO? Social Media? Email Campaigns? Articles? Blogs? Newsletters? Tracking Results? Ranking high with search engines takes time, knowledge, and resources to be successful.
Lash Internet Marketing is successful. In turn, we make our clients successful.
Not all Internet Consultants are effective, because:
- there is no national certification
- “consultants” market themselves to make $$$ while unemployed
- anyone can call themselves an SEO expert
- there is no standard checklist that gets you to the top of page 1.
- one success story doth not an Internet Marketing Consultant make.
To find a credible, trustworthy, effective Internet Marketing Consultant use the following criteria:
- Look at results.
- Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
- Look for reviews on Yelp.com and other customer review sites.
- Get references and call them.
- How long have they been in business?
- Is it a sideline or full time business?
- Are they guessing, or are they backed by experts in each area?
- Where do they research their information?
- What classes have they taken?
- How do they stay current with Internet changes?
Research our competitors, then call us at (707) 794-9294. Our successful track record demonstrates your future.

Wikipedia defines Internet Marketing as:
“Internet marketing, also known as digital marketing, web marketing, online marketing, search marketing or e-marketing, is referred to as the marketing (generally promotion) of products or services over the Internet. iMarketing is used as an abbreviated form for Internet Marketing [1]
Internet marketing is considered to be broad in scope[1] because it not only refers to marketing on the Internet, but also includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless media.[2] Digital customer data and electronic customer relationship management (ECRM) systems are also often grouped together under internet marketing.[3]
Internet marketing ties together the creative and technical aspects of the Internet, including design, development, advertising, and sales.[4] Internet marketing also refers to the placement of media along many different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO), banner ads on specific websites, email marketing, mobile advertising, and Web 2.0 strategies.[citation needed]
In 2008, The New York Times, working with comScore, published an initial estimate to quantify the user data collected by large Internet-based companies. Counting four types of interactions with company websites in addition to the hits from advertisements served from advertising networks, the authors found that the potential for collecting data was up to 2,500 times per user per month.[5]“
