WE ARE YOUR LOCAL TEAM

Hey Grapevine, we live in your city and are ready to serve our neighbors.

Local Matters

When we do business with local companies we actually help keep our communities unique. Local businesses are owned by good people who live in our same neighborhoods and care more about us and our community’s future. Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our cities, providing the most jobs to residents. We support local businesses and care about you. There are a ton of reasons to do business with local companies, below is our top 3.

1. Community Well-Being

Locally owned businesses know more about their communities and contribute to local causes. They work hard to network with other business owners and build relationships. Working with these companies allows for more of your dollars to stay in the community.

 

2. Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurs help build things we love. We can help these great men and women by doing business with them. Sometimes we support them by buying their product or service. Other times we show our support by donating our time or giving of our resources. Illinois has some amazing entrepreneurs. These local innovators are important to our communities as they help provide new jobs and prosperity.

 

3. Competition

Competition is great for the customer. By working hard to provide a better service or product local businesses compete to earn your business. Oftentimes local businesses can provide a greater level of service by being down the street versus across the country. Competition also leads to better prices. Seek out local businesses offering both and reward them by becoming their customer.

Why Good Web Design Matters

For many of us in this new world, a brick and mortar presence is not possible and not needed. Your website becomes the digital edifice to your success and the first impression client’s see.

A well designed site disseminates your information quickly and succinctly. Gaining the trust of your audience is one of the most important methods to gain new customers. You can achieve this by running a website that works properly and fulfills your client’s needs.

We guide you through the design process. Extracting the key elements of what your company does and showcasing them in a dynamic and exciting way.

Why SEO matters

SEO matters for your business for several reasons:

  • Billions of users use search engines: With over 93% of online experiences beginning with a search engine, SEO is essential for ensuring you can reach the billions of searches that occur on search engines. Without SEO, online consumers won’t find your products and services and may choose a competitor who ranks higher on the search results page.
  • You can’t pay to rank higher in organic search results: Except for pay-per-click (PPC) ads that display at the top of the search results page, you cannot pay any search engine to rank your website higher in the organic search results. As a result, SEO is essential for outranking your competitors.
  • SEO can help you satisfy consumer queries: A significant factor in SEO is satisfying search intent and consumer queries. When optimizing your website, you will begin to create content and experiences that users will find beneficial. As a result, you will start to build a trustworthy and authoritative reputation that will keep consumers coming back for more.

Why Local Presence Management Matters

Location, location, location! If you have a multi-location business, you need accurate local data on Google, Apple Maps, and other online platforms. In fact, it’s the foundation of all local search—including the metaverse—empowering you to reach customers wherever they happen to be.

Of course, it takes time and effort to manage local data like addresses, phone numbers, opening hours, and reviews—but when you get it right, your local online presence becomes a powerful tool to drive transformative business growth. Our unique Local Presence Management (LPM) service takes care of everything for you, leaving you free to focus on doing what you do best.

WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR A NEW SITE

The decision to upgrade your website is a big one. It requires time, money, and energy. So what should you expect during the process? We break down our process for you below!

Step 1: Design
This is the fun part. You’ll likely talk about color schemes, function, special features (like e-commerce), graphics, videos, and the overall look. We always recommend coming to the meeting with a few examples of websites you love. After that meeting, the creative team takes some time to bring your vision to life in 2D.

Step 2: Review
Once the team has had some time to work through the design process. it’s time to show the client. This is usually done in person with a presentation. You can discuss the layout, colors, etc. during this time. Often, more meetings will follow as you’ll likely have some feedback and changes that you’d like the creative team to implement.

Step 3: Develop
Now that the design is approved, it is time for the website to go to the developer. The developer starts to build the website on a production server so you can view the site online without it being viewable to the public. During that time, you can work with the copywriter and other people in the agency to nail down the voice, content, and graphics. This is usually the longest part of the process, but it is the most important!

Step 4: Test
Once your website has been coded by the developer and you’ve settled on all of your content, it is time to review your new site on the test server. You’ll receive a link to view the website and share with your company and decision-makers. Usually there are a few tweaks that need to be made at this stage before the site is finalized.

Step 5: Launch!
At long last, your new site is ready to launch! Once you give the go-ahead, the developer will start the launch process. This includes setting up hosting and getting the domain pointed. It will also take some time to propagate. Be patient — it will be worth it! After a few hours, your site should be live and ready for you and the rest of the world to enjoy!
