I met a man in Louisville Kentucky today who owns the domain name www.thelouisvilleseo.com . This name is really close to the one we chose www.seolouisville.com for our Louisville, Kentucky office website. His name was Rob Docherty and he was a 20 year old bundle of enthusiasm. I told him about Jacob Wissler and www.seohouston.com and Keith Hickman of www.awsp.com . I told him about our merger with around houston web design and artistic video. He is looking to make his way in the seo world and he will do it I think. He has a real strong personality. He said he met someone from iprospect.com and he new enough to through down seoinc.com and searchenginewatch.com names. He also said he met with Debbie Hill of Creative Web Marketing in Louisville. I look forward to meeting with all the Louisville Kentucky web design community. I hope I am recieved well. I really like Kentucky people.
Louisville, Kentucky will have a force in the search engine marketing business open a office in the eastern part of town at 264 and Shelbyville Rd. Directory One is one of the quiet secrets in the SEO business. Neither Philip O’Hara or Sean Odom have not been outspoken about their accomplishments until now. Directory One has revenue’s that reoccur will be over a million dollars this year.
It is hard to believe that a million dollars of seo work is only a fraction of a percentage of the total amount spent on seo each year. The last figure I have seen is 600 million dollars will be spent on optimization this year or last. I would love to see our company get 1% of that marketshare in the next two years. We will need partners though. Many web design partners in Houston have carried us to the million dollar mark.
Directory One’s packages start at about 500 a month and go up to 5K a month. These are current seo packages with ppc and organic work being done on your site monthly. The search engine optimization packages includes content, linkage, press releases,and on page optimization.
Directory One helps the better business bureau with their search engine marketing and their members who have pages on the reliability mall site in Houston and will be working with the Louisville BBB as well.
It is exciting to be opening a office in my home town. It means I will get to spend more time with family too. Shaun Tinnell will be the lead sales representative in Louisville and Lize` Reed will be the General Manager of the Louisville operation. Lize` has already opened the office and is in the process of getting it furnished. The phones and internet will be installed this week. Now the work starts.
