Our customers are primarily digital entrepreneurs who are operating in the eCommerce and the content site industry and we're applying a mix of strategies to develop their organic traffic streams. We work in association with a paid advertising agency to fill this gap for our clients.

However - our business also operates a number of revenue generating content websites of our own and for clients, publishing large volumes of content per month. We're therefore building an operation that identifies keywords and article opportunities, delivers on them with engaging content and continually optimises that content for monetisation.

Our services include keyword research, content writing, content upload and optimisation, Search Engine Optimisation (on-page and off-page), full turnkey management of websites - SEO and content, full website build services including eCommerce, website management (updates, security and general optimisation), Pinterest Management, Social Media Management, Collaboration Management (influencer marketing), eCommerce strategy development and financial modelling and eCommerce SEO.

We work in a fast paced world where nothing is all that permanent. As such we're in favour of "hitting publish" or "shipping it" - don't sweat the small stuff - especially when we can go back and edit any issues we find. Delay is the enemy - getting things wrong is just one more step in the direction of progress.
