Fractional Marketing Director
Get the expertise of a marketing director without the full-time salary. We help plan, coordinate, and guide your marketing efforts so every channel works together—your website, SEO, ads, email, and more. You’ll have a single point of contact who knows your business, your goals, and how to get you there. Meetings can be set 1-2 times per month.
Review Management
Your online reputation matters. We help you gather more positive reviews, respond to feedback, and keep an eye on what customers are saying. This results in better ratings, more trust, and a stronger first impression. Our BlueOx.Reviews software will help you ask for reviews regularly, and direct them to your preferred review sites.
Google Business Profile Setup & Optimization
A strong Google Business Profile makes it easier for people to find you in local searches and on Google Maps. We set it up, optimize it with accurate info and images, and keep it updated so you show up when it matters most.
Google Analytics
We connect your website to Google Analytics so you can see how many people are visiting, how they found you, and what they’re doing on your site. Then we help make sense of the data so you can make smart marketing decisions.
Google Search Console
This free tool from Google shows how your site appears in search results and alerts you to issues that might be holding you back. We set it up, monitor it, and fix problems before they hurt your rankings.
Site Speed Optimization
A fast-loading website is essential. We take steps like image compression, browser caching, and smart plugin use to make sure your site responds quickly, even on mobile. A speedy site helps you rank higher in search and keeps your visitors from bouncing.
Translation
If your audience speaks multiple languages, we can help make your site clear and accessible to them. We provide human-level automatic neural machine translations so your message stays on point. These new pages are also indexable in search results for added SEO impact.
Accessibility
An accessible website works for everyone, including people with disabilities. We provide you with software to make an accessible website within reach, and help you maintain an inclusive online presence.
Rank Tracking
We keep tabs on how your keywords are performing over time, as well as a few of your chief competitors. This way, you’ll know when it’s time to change tactics, or refresh strategies.
Marketing Dashboard
We bring all your marketing data into one simple dashboard: website traffic, social traffic, email visitors, reviews, and more.
