TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

I was hesitant about switching over email servers so I emailed and inquired a lot. However, Jared was always very professional and very helpful. I am sure I drive him crazy, but he was always happy to help. I am thinking of having him come back and work on our local networking as well. I would definitely recommend MPT Pro!!!

Natasha Pankey

What exactly is digital marketing?

Digital marketing uses online channels and technologies like search engines (Google), social media (Facebook, Instagram), email, and websites to promote your business and reach customers. It’s about getting found and connecting with people where they spend their time online.

Why is digital marketing important for my local business?

Most customers today search online before visiting a store or using a service. Digital marketing helps your business get found by local customers, build trust through reviews, connect with your community, and ultimately drive more foot traffic and sales.

How much does digital marketing cost, and what's typically included?

Costs vary widely based on services and intensity, but for local businesses, packages often range from $75-$350+ per month. This usually covers essential services like Google My Business optimization, basic social media management, targeted local ads, and email marketing.

How long will it take to see results from digital marketing?

Some results, like increased website traffic from ads, can be seen relatively quickly (weeks to a few months). Building a strong online reputation and improving organic search rankings (SEO) takes more consistent effort, typically 3-6 months or longer to see significant impact.

How do you measure success and show me return on investment (ROI)?

We track key metrics like website visits, phone calls, online inquiries, new customer sign-ups, and review growth. We provide easy-to-understand reports that show you how your marketing investment is translating into tangible business growth.

What's the difference between "organic" and "paid" digital marketing?

Organic marketing (like Search Engine Optimization or SEO) focuses on improving your visibility naturally over time, without direct payment for clicks. Paid marketing (like Google Ads or social media ads) involves paying to show your ads to specific audiences to get immediate visibility and traffic. Both have their place!

Do I need a website for digital marketing to be effective?

While not always strictly necessary for basic local presence (e.g., Google My Business), a website significantly enhances your digital marketing. It serves as your online home, where customers can learn more, contact you, or make purchases, improving overall campaign effectiveness.

How do you handle negative online reviews?

We monitor reviews across platforms and help you craft professional, empathetic responses to negative feedback. Our strategy aims to address concerns publicly and, where appropriate, take the conversation offline to resolve issues, often turning a negative into a positive.

Can digital marketing really help my specific type of business (e.g., restaurant, salon, retail)?

Absolutely! Digital marketing strategies are highly adaptable. We tailor campaigns to your industry, target audience, and unique selling points, ensuring we connect you with the customers most likely to be interested in your specific products or services.

Is email marketing still effective, or do people just ignore emails now?

Email marketing remains one of the most effective digital channels for building customer loyalty and driving repeat business. When done right – with valuable content and relevant offers – emails are highly engaging and can deliver excellent ROI by speaking directly to your audience.
