I’ve never actually heard of this happening to anyone in web design, and I have many web industry friends that I network with routinely.

Here’s what happened:

Mr. Goodwater is a water treatment company in the greater Rockford, IL area.  They need a strong website presence because their ideal clients are routinely searching Google for solutions to hard water, rusty water, and how to get better drinking water, etc. 

Butch Rosecke, owner of Mr. Goodwater, hired my web agency for search engine optimization (SEO) starting about 6 months ago.

SEO is the process of getting your website higher in Google for keyword terms that can drive more traffic to your website and help you make more money.

For the month of October, Butch awarded me with Employee of the Month at Mr. Goodwater.

You’re probably asking yourself, why would a company that doesn’t actually “employ” you name you as Employee of the Month?

When I called him to thank him for the honor, I asked him that same question.  

Here are the reasons he provided:

  1. Your SEO Plan Works:  “We have significantly more Google rankings now versus before we started with your company.  They are also extremely high Google rankings.”
  2. You’re a Great Vendor:  “Great vendors are hard to find.  You’re on-time and take your job very seriously.  It is a pleasure working with you to expand our brand for Mr. Goodwater.”
  3. You Refer Back to Your Clients:  “Not only is your SEO plan helping us get new customers, but you have also referred multiple friends to us that have purchased water treatment solutions.  You even posted about us on your LinkedIn.  Thank you.”

“Between your SEO plan and your referrals to Mr. Goodwater, you were our TOP SALES REP for October 2022.”

To illustrate how awesome his Google rankings are, take a look at this example:

GOOGLE PAGE 1, RESULT #1 (directly underneath the paid ads)

Please Note:  St. Charles, IL is geographically located about 1 hour away from Mr. Goodwater’s physical location in Belvidere, IL.  We can achieve that sort of ranking regardless of a business’s actual physical location.

Other Businesses I Can Help with SEO

SEO is an incredibly powerful online tool when you choose the right provider.

Our strategy works very well for established brick-and-mortar businesses that want to own greater market share within a specific geographic service radius.

— Perhaps you want to rank for your primary keywords when searched in collaboration with the 30+ closest cities/towns around your location? 

— Maybe instead you want to rank for select cities that are hundreds of miles away from your location?

Regardless, we can do it, and we do it well.

Our SEO plan requires NO EFFORT from our client.  We do all of the work, our client simply chooses the areas we target.

Here are some example industries we can assist using SEO (not an all-inclusive list):

If you are not currently doing SEO for your business website, you probably should be.  

Send me a DM and let’s talk.

Thank You Mr. Goodwater

I was very humbled when I hopped off that initial call with Butch when he awarded me Employee of the Month.

Thank you, Butch, for publicly recognizing the contributions of my efforts for Mr. Goodwater.

There is truly nothing more satisfying than receiving praise and positive feedback for a job well done.
