Search Engine Optimization and Marketing

For years marketeers have dreamed of paying for ads only when they work. Then along came Google and Yahoo and Facebook and some thought they had found the one perfect nirvana for paid and unpaid promotion.

But in this modern world, hot trends catch on real fast, and your competitors work the systems vigorously. So today you probably need a Search Engine Guru to help you navigate all the ins and outs of organic and paid search.

How does it fit in with your mainline marketing strategy? Traditional promotional tools? Social media marketing? CRM system?

I had to make it work to keep my boys in college. Now I can help you too. I learned on my own dime with my own promos, plus now have helped a number of clients. Full service or occasional coaching, oversight and direction consulting. Includes advice on tools, budgets, planning, monitoring and tracking.

SEO services for even the smallest business offered in conjunction with Brighter Scribe.

When not doing marketing consulting, Athol is the head of Brighter Naming, and previously co-founded NameTrade.

Your technical naming guru is ready to help with all your creative name generation, registration and trademark searches. Name your business, company, product or service correctly from the start. Fixed price, guaranteed results at Silicon Valley speed.

New business and product names for hardware, software, equipment and services in the scientific, technology, industrial, Internet and financial markets a specialty. Includes full domain, registration and trademark checks.

More than just a naming consultant, he is supported by a team of international namers to make sure you get a great variety of good names on the master list from the start.
