These days, your number one ally in the world of business is your website.

An optimized, well laid out site with excellent content can generate tens, hundreds, or even thousands of views and clicks each day. And if you’re lucky, potential customers might even fill out a contact form or reach out to you...

“At the end of the day, it all comes down to leads.”

It’s a simple enough concept—your marketing strategy, your tactics, your team and your results should eventually generate leads and sales for your company; otherwise, why invest anything in marketing at all?

“How much does digital marketing actually contribute to our bottom line?”

Early in my career, these were words that sent chills down my spine.
