.. specializes in website design and 'white hat' search-engine optimization (SEO) services for small businesses and professionals. My goal is simple – to successfully bring new customers and higher sales to any business that genuinely wants to do better. 'Successfully' means presenting your products or services to people in a way that motivates them to walk into your store ready to buy, order from you online, or phone you to make a purchase.

I work only with small and medium-sized businesses because they're the smartest and most focused part of the American economy. Their owners are motivated to succeed for the best of reasons – to have their homes, raise their families, and to make a good life for themselves. Bodega's reason for being is to help you build a more successful business, and help you see your goals and dreams realized.

I'm easy to contact. Anytime that you'd like to talk, just call my toll-free number or send an email to welcome@bodegacoast.com. When we start working together, you'll have my private cell-phone numbers and email addresses.

Common Questions

Q:   I run a retail business, selling to people in person, not through the Web. Can you really bring more shoppers into my store?
A: Yes, and not just bring them through the front door, but have them arrive with a purchase already in mind. Most of the sales that begin with someone searching for a product online, end with them buying that product at a local store ('most' means 65-80%, depending on the type of product).

This is called "Research online, Buy offline", and has been a rapidly growing trend for the last three years. The novelty of ordering "tweezers from Timbuktu" is wearing off, but many people are using the Web to save time (and gasoline) by finding a local source for the products and services they use in their everyday lives.
 
Q:   I've read that 'search engine optimization' can help increase my over-the-Web sales. How true is that?
A: Very true, when optimization is done competently it can improve your online sales tremendously, as well as boost both over-the-phone orders and retail-store purchases. It does all of that by making your products easier to find by those people who are the most eager, and able, to buy them.
 
Q:   And 'white hat' SEO means ... ?
A: ... that I use only those practices and techniques that fall within the 'fair play' guidelines recommended by Google and the other main search-engines. I've never used any of the shady practices or 'black-hat' tricks that have been penalized or banned by the search-engines. And never will.
 
Q:   I'd like to make search-engine improvements to my current site, but I just opened an estimate from Siphon & Leech Deezines that has way too many zeros in it. Would I need to empty my bank account to pay for your help?
A: No, never, my services are affordable by everyday small and medium-sized businesses, most of whom have limited budgets for marketing. You deserve the results that you'd like, at a price that works. And the best return for your money that's possible.
 
Q:   Do you ever have special discounts, or do any in-trade work?
A: Actually, yes, for selected business-types or specific products. Ask me about it when we first talk.
