Stephanie Russo Horsemanship a new Snohomish Wa Business

I have just contracted with Stephanie Russo Horsemanship, to help train my horses this year.  Stephanie, lives in Snohomish Wa, and generally does most of her work in that area, but has agreed to come up here to Whatcom County to assist me in getting my horse ready to sell.  We are working with about 20 head of horses right now and most are unbroke horse, so a lot of work  for Stephanie.

I have known Stephanie Russo for several years now, I first saw her at a Dennis Reis Clinic in Washington, then talked to here at a Dennis Reis clinic in Hurricane Utah, I really like the calm way she works with horses.  Stephanie has graduated from College with degrees in Horse Management and Business, plus she has 12 endorsements from Dennis Reis.   Stephanie has such a strong background in the horse industry she is going to be a in demand go to resource for years to come, I am glad I hired her before the word gets out in Snohomish Washington, or I sure would not get her up to Whatcom County.  We are planning on spending about 3 days a week on my herd and I sure need the help.

Helping My Bellingham Auto Mechanic Get More Customers

I happen to have a very good Bellingham auto mechanic, who repairs not just my cars, but also my generator, my quad runner, my trucks, my horse trailer, well you get the idea.  Well my mechanic was forced out of his former location and has to start all over again, letting people know where he is and also I am sure he would not mind a few new faces in his customer lineup.

I have decided to help this Bellingham Auto Mechanic develop a great lead generating web presence.  Did you know that 70% of US households now use the Internet when shopping locally for products and services?  Might as well let them know about this auto mechanic and the excellent work he does.  Stay tuned to see what happens, you might pick up a few pointers on getting more clients or customers for your own local business.

Help Customers Find Your Local Business

I got some help this morning, it was very unexpected and very much appreciated.  I am traveling to Las Vegas this Thursday to attend an Online Revenue
Workshop.  I got an email with the following information;

It’s Showtime! The Showtime Airport Shuttle Service

It looks like the Showtime Shuttle will be the best way to get back and forth from McCarren Airport. They run every 15 minutes around the clock and charge $6.50 one way, $12.00 round trip, cash only. You find them upon exiting baggage claim out of Door 12. If you’re in Terminal 2, proceed to the Showtime Tours Desk in baggage claim.

Call 702-895-9976 when you get to the hotel to schedule your pick-up back to the airport. They pick up and drop off at the hotel entrance.

Now what is so special about that email? Well it helps me get to the workshop first of all and it came not from the hotel where I am staying, but from the workshop organizers, it makes me feel like I am in good hands.

The hotel failed to assist me in this matter, they had no posting on their website, they had no information available by phone, just told me to catch any old shuttle to get there, this may be true but I like being told things like; go out door#12, this old farm boy understands directions like that, then I definitely am going to be heading in the right direction.  Which reminds me I better add directions to my own websites so my customers can find my local business here in Bellingham, WA

Does a Local Marketing Strategy really Work?

Let’s take a look and see if my local marketing strategy actually paid any dividends. If you remember I added WA to blue roan horses for sale, to give it a little local flavor and make the pond I swim in a little smaller.  Tale a look below:

The red arrow points to my post yesterday, there it is in all it’s glory sitting in the #7 slot on google for the keyword phrase blue roan horses for sale wa that is pretty good for a 12 hour old post   On this site, which is not really a horse site.  Now I have to confess something here, see all those sites outlined in yellow?  They are mine also, how naughty of me but yes I really enjoy being a #1 page hog.  From top to bottom here is what I got:

• The #3 position is my company business website
• The #4 position is an old SBI site I made years ago
• The #4 position is an old blog on that SBI site,
  I have forgotten how to even use it as the technology was very clunky.
• The #5 position is the horse barn, my current horse website – blog
• The #6 position is this blog here of course

So as you can see a well thought out local marketing strategy works very well and I not only get local calls but people call from all around the United States.

Local Internet Marketing is like being a Big Fish in a Little Pond

The big advantage of local internet marketing is you get to be a big fish, no longer are you a small fish in the big ocean of internet marketing.  That little pond you call local, is just not big enough for those big companies to bother with so you no longer have to compete with those big sharks and whales that knox you around and in some cases have you for breakfast.

You are free to swim around you little local pond at a leisurely pace and still make a nice living while enjoying your lifestyle of choice.  It is really no different than what you see happen in the dirt world.  I have seen time and time again small construction companies doing well locally with a couple of dump trucks, maybe a backhoe, then they expand and get more equipment, employees, and start bidding on bigger contracts often across the state, even in other states.  Often they just can’t compete, for a number of reasons, not enough operating capital, not enough expertise, they just flopped into too big a pond.  So try local internet marketing to hone your skills and build up the cash flow, then move to a bigger pond, but you may find the water is just right locally.

Blue Roan Horses for Sale WA

This is about  moving down the long tail I have added WA to my previous keyword phrase to generate blue roan horses for sale wa this will reduce the number of searches but improve my position in the search engines.  I am convinced that working the long tail is not only better but also will give you more consistent traffic over a longer period of time  If I had horses in other states I would certainly add that state to the keyword, but only ad if you can deliver your service or product to that area.  I don’t want to deliver to texas so I don’t advertise for Texas.

I will need to link again for this new phrase so  if you are looking for blue roan horses for sale wa then this will get you there.

Fast Local Internet Marketing Results for Bellingham Lawyers

Notice how fast my last post Bellingham immigration lawyers was indexed in the search engine; just 8 minutes, now the post is sitting right now at position 22 but with a little tweaking who knows where it may end up.  My main point is that you can achieve fast local internet marketing results for Bellingham  lawyers and therefore you can do the same in your town, city, parish, or county quite easy and fast.

One thing I notice is that there are just a few google ads for bellingham immigration lawyers so that might be worth investigating the use of google adwords, I would think that one client would pay for a whole lot of pay per click advertising for some brilliant lawyer.
