“I just got tired of seeing small businesses
get kicked around,” said Lissa Monroe, the techno-diva of SunDog Marketing and
Design. “So I decided to fight ‘big biz’ competitors where it counts: in the
online marketing arena.”
Today’s shopper
goes online first. And they search, mostly on Google (approximately 83% of global
searches) to find top-ranked businesses. From there, they turn into a lead, or
purchase directly. Sounds simple enough, but Monroe says there’s a damaging twist.
“Just over 91%
of shoppers never even make it to Page 2 of the search results” she says with a
sigh, “So if small businesses aren’t on Page 1, their online leads and sales will
suffer dramatically. Many who are shoved past page 1 see sales dry up and
close shop.” And who is usually on Page 1? You guessed it: big businesses with
big marketing departments committed to page 1 ranking. “Small businesses just
can’t compete against that without serious technical expertise. That’s why I
opened SunDog.”
Disproving the Experts
Monroe spent 6
years working at marketing powerhouse Hudson, Ink, a nationally recognized
marketing firm in Montgomery. “They’re famous in their niche, which is one of
the toughest markets around” said Monroe, referring to the firm’s renown with
in-home service contractors. Monroe
dreamt up the idea of taking contractors to the top of Google. Fortunately,
Hudson Ink’s owner was willing to invest in her training.
So off she went
to learn from one of the internet’s top SEO (Search Engine Optimization”
experts. “My head was spinning!” Monroe remarked of her intense training, “And
then I was given a big disappointment.”
“Toward the
end, my teacher, one of the top experts in the field said, ‘Oh, you’re not
going to be able to do this with service contractors; that field is too
difficult.”
“I was so let
down… but challenged too.” Monroe said. “And my boss doesn’t take ‘can’t’ very
well!” So Monroe committed herself to the labyrinthine process of learning to
get top results for a group who ‘wasn’t supposed to’ be able to rank. The
result?
The industry
considers getting 70% of your clients to page 1 a “very braggable” result. Monroe
did a little better than that. “We got 95.6% of our clients on Page 1. This was
– and remains – unheard of” she said with a touch of humility.
After 2 years
of stellar results, Monroe was ready to go on her own as a local SEO expert,
helping small business compete – and win – in today’s online marketing world.
Small Business, Big Numbers, Big Results
“A business on
page 1 of Google will get more leads,
more sales, more customers, and be a healthier business” Monroe says
triumphantly, “And that’s what SunDog does.”
Whether you
have a website or not, Monroe says she can get you “listed” and start climbing
the page ranks of Google and the other major search engines.

And I'm not going to let them keep kicking small businesses around. |
Monroe offers
businesses a no-cost “Digital Profile” to let them see where they rank, who’s
beating them, and most importantly how they can begin climbing the ranks. These
are available to readers at

for no charge.
“Many clients
came to me with a Page 5 – or lower – rank, and wondered why even their mother
couldn’t find them online!” she says with a laugh, but gets serious. “They were
losing sales because they were just lost in a digital wasteland. We’ve achieved
page 1 ranks for them, and for clients this has meant hundreds of leads. This
can be the difference between closing shop or flourishing.”
Not for Everyone
“I’m fairly
selective of clients” says Monroe, “because I have to be. Everyone wants to be
on page 1 of the engines, but I can only accept about 20 new clients a month.”
Due to online marketing’s explosive growth and SunDog’s guaranteed results,
this hasn’t been a problem.
“I don’t ‘do’
websites, I just make them rank better by giving you a great online presence using
search engine and directory listings. My goal is to help any business gain a
healthier, consistent online presence. And that means sales. This is a tough
business, and I’m against some huge firms whose goal is to keep small
businesses off on page one,” says
Monroe who crosses her arms defiantly. “And I’m not going to let them keep
kicking small businesses around.”
