Three small stone blocks stacked on a much larger foundation block - the four types of SEO, with technical work as the base everything else rests on.

Local SEO, Marketing, SEOBy Stephen KnightJuly 28, 2026

“We Don’t Really Use the Website, It Doesn’t Do Anything For Us”

We Rebuilt Our Own Website. Here’s What We Left Out.

Marketing, News, SEO, Web DesignBy Stephen KnightJune 24, 2026

We stripped out the trends, the buzzwords, and the giant hero text nobody reads when we rebuilt our own site. What’s left is the stuff that actually makes a website work – and the data that proves people wanted it that way all along.

What story does your website tell

If your website feels “off” but you can’t say why, you’re not alone. Subtle design flaws hurt trust and credibility – just like a neglected storefront. Learn how good design builds confidence.

Word of mouth referrals and what happens when they Google your competitor

Referrals: Word of Mouth Is Great… Until They Google Your Competitor

Local SEO, MarketingBy Stephen KnightSeptember 29, 2025

Referrals are great – until someone Googles your business and your competitor shows up first. Word-of-mouth alone isn’t enough. When someone searches for your business online, missing or inconsistent listings can send them to your competitor.

What a website really costs

Decoding Website Costs: How Much Should You Invest in Your Digital Presence?

Marketing, Web DesignBy Stephen KnightAugust 30, 2025

The town crier, the Pennysaver, and Google as the new way to be found

The Modern Town Crier: Why Google Ads are the New Yellow Pages

Advertising, MarketingBy Stephen KnightJuly 1, 2025

There was a time when every local business in America had a line item in their budget for it. The Yellow Pages. The Penny Saver. The local paper. The Town Crier – whether literal or figurative – was how you let the neighborhood know you existed. Every year, a check went out. Every year, customers…
