Surefire Signs That Your Business Needs A Google Ads Specialist

In fact, the search engine is so monolithic that it’s estimated Google processes approximately 63,000 search queries every second. That translates to 5.6 billion daily searches and approximately 2 trillion global searches per year.  And people aren’t just Googling obscure 80s pop culture references.

5 Reasons You Absolutely Need A Digital Marketing Strategy

As a person with no natural sense of direction, I never leave the house without my GPS. Even though I’ve lived in the same city for nearly ten years, I love the security of seeing every turn mapped out for me before I ever leave my driveway. And with good reason. Without that guidance, I can get turned around on something as seemingly simple as a trip to the grocery store. And I don’t have time for epic adventures on a weeknight when I’m already hungry.
