SEO-PPC-Internet Marketing Clients and Results
Obviously, you want proof of results before hiring someone to market your site.
Following is sampling of clients with a brief description of our internet marketing challenge, and results. The problem with Marketing work is that much of the results information is proprietary - for example, I can't divulge actual sales numbers. (You wouldn't want me divulging YOUR inside information, would you?)
I do encourage you to contact any one of my clients for references.

So How does Weaversites stack up in my own field? As of 03/17/08 I'm at #1 for "Asheville PPC", #1 for "Asheville NC SEO", #3 for "NC PPC", #11 for "NC SEO", #12 for "Asheville Internet Marketing", #18 for "Asheville SEO". Considering I always work on my own site last, I am not unhappy with these results - but like any other client I'll keep working at it for more top ten results. |

777-Junk.com is a new site offering western NC a fabulous and sorely needed service - junk removal. Who among us doesn't have a garage full of stuff that we keep planning to dispose of, or donate, or recycle? 777-Junk does it all. Since it is a new site, we've only just begun on the internet marketing - so stay tuned. |

Asheville Neurofeedback is a site I have been working on for a couple of months. |
 |
Lake James Vacation Retreats is a site for townhouse vacation rentals on the shores of Lake James in NC. The challenges include a high level of competition, plus the fact that Google Maps / Google Local doesn't seem to have a fix on Lake James... yet. Many online directories, including those specializing in real estate and vacation rentals, don't either. We have tried a number of approaches, and have settled on a focus on "lake rentals" and "lake vacations" as their specialty niche, using both SEO and PPC campaigns. The PPC campaigns are working well, but the organic results have been tough, tough, tough to reach top ten unless you include the term Lake James in your search. |

Dr. John Huie is an educational consultant, life coach and mentor - especially for teens. Formerly the Executive Director of the North Carolina Outward Bound School, Dr. Huie is now focusing on helping teens and their families on a one-to-one basis. I've been working with him for several months to boost the awareness of his expertise on the internet, and am proud to say that if you Google a huge variety of terms for his field, we have achieved top 10 to top 20 results. We've got the Asheville area locked up - so for a broader term, try Googling Struggling Teen Guidance, and we are #12 worldwide (as of 03/17/08.) |
 |
Asheville Creative Services is a virtual advertising agency composed of independently-owned proprietors, freelance media artists, and marketing experts in Asheville. I have been a member for over five years. I've had much assistance with the site design over the years, but my proudest accomplishment is if you Google NC Advertising... and we are #5! |

Hoot Holler Music is a newly-launched web site for a new record label and CD release, "Walkin' to the Bridge." The CD is a variety of original tunes, performed around a 'traditional' bluegrass band (guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, mandolin) but features a variety of styles from true old-time to newgrass-progressive bluegrass. The online music business is about as competitive as you can get. In December, we had top 10 results for the band Tom has played with for years - County Farm. But the competition has been brushing up their sites, so it's back to work for Hoot Holler and County Farm. |
 |
Biltmore OB/GYN is a well-established obstetrics-gynecology practice in Asheville, and the only practice run entirely by women. They're fairly well known but wanted better search engine results for their site. In 2007 we did a "big push" on improving their results. Within only a couple of weeks, our work paid off. Google "asheville gynecologist(s)" or "asheville obstetricians" to see their current top 10 results. |
 |
RisingRoadTours is a travel company specializing in custom and escorted small group tours of Ireland. When we first started working together in 2005, they had a site but it was nowhere to be found on the search engines. I rebuilt the site and we've been working partners ever since. Google Ireland Custom Tours and (as of 03/17/08) their site is in position #2. |
 |
Look of Love is a 3D-4D Ultrasound facility in Asheville. When we first started working together in 2006, they were not getting good SE results. In particular, we wanted the site to show up for more than just Asheville results. In cooperation with the webmaster, we made a few changes, customized metatags, and did some strategic advertising. Google Asheville ultrasound to see their #1 Google position (as of 03/17/08). |
 |
Byers Precision Fabricating needed to attract more B2B business for their high-end laser-precision metal fabrication services. This is one of the few sites that I did actually rebuild in 2006, to overcome a few technical issues with the original site construction. Google Precision Fabricators and (as of 03/17/08) they are in position #4. |
 |
White Night is a subsidiary of Byers Precision. They make a unique vehicle rear lighting system. Their website was getting no rankings at all. This is also a site I rebuilt to overcome some technical barriers. Since we began working together in 2006, their online product sales have increased, they have acquired new distributors. Google Vehicle Rear Lighting and their site is in position #6, and a Google for Truck Rear Lighting and they stand in position #1 (as of 03/17/08.) |
 |
College Walk is a Retirement Community in Brevard, NC. I began working with them way back in 2002. If you Google NC Retirement Communities, their site shows up in position #11 (as of 03/17/08). |
 |
Thornton Realty is a site I've been working with since 2001. I built it originally - and though it's long due for a cosmetic update, if you Google NC mountain property for sale they are currently in position #4 for Asheville land for sale, #3 for Asheville land tracts, #1 for NC land tracts, and #16 for NC land for sale. I'd like to work further with this site with a new web designer, and updated SEO for better SE results on a broader range of terms related to real estate. |
There are many sites I have worked on in cooperation with other Webmasters and Internet Marketing Experts. Following are webmasters and others for whom I've provided SEO and PPC services as a subcontractor. I encourage you to contact them for references. I can also highly recommend all the following people/companies for site building, programming, and specialized skills.

More Clients (sites I have built over the years):

A unique greeteing card company located here in Asheville, NC. Despite the URL name, it's family-friendly but contains a quirky sense of humor when it comes to spirituality. Some cards are hysterically funny, some are sincerely encouraging and insipirational. All artwork is original and beautiful. Both printed greeting cards and e-cards are available. |
|
A small & simple site for a vacation getaway home here in Asheville (actually, Leicester.) Includes an online reservation system. |
|

Donate Life New Mexico was a site I was very happy to build, with graphics/layout collaboration with Michael Ashmore of Shepherd Design. The site provides information about organ donation programs in New Mexico. They now take care of site updates themselves. |
|
Western Highlands Network is a state-funded organization that coordinates health care for mental illness, substance abuse, and developmental disabilities in an 8-county western NC region. I originally built their site several years ago. The latest addition was a site search function, since the site provides large amounts of documents for clients and heath care providers. What they really need is a CMS (Content Management System) and plans for this are, hopefully, in the works. I am not qualified to do that for them and have recommended several other Asheville specialists to redesign the site. Meanwhile, I handle all their updates. |
|
SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives, is an invaluable resource for all businesses. I built their Asheville site years ago, rebuilt it, and now collaborate with a few SCORE members on the updates. Contact them if you are a business person, or even thinking about starting your own business. |

Smart Start of Buncombe County is a non-profit organization that helps young children and their families with early education resources, and helps them transition into Kindergarten and the school systems.

Blue Ridge Grown, a non-profit organization that was created by the Henderson County NC Agricultural Extension Office. Its purpose is to promote the locally grown and organic foods from farms in Henderson and Transylvania Counties. Design-wise I've been happier with this one than most. |
