Todd Miechiels, an Atlanta, GA-based B2B search engine marketing consultant,
has launched a suite of customized search engine marketing services
targeted at the underserved small and mid-size market. The initiative
combines Miechiels' proven knowledge of B2B search engine marketing
strategies with new services specifically designed to level the SEM
playing field for emerging B2B firms. Service packages differ in
specific offerings and pricing structure, but the end result is that
growing companies have the same opportunities to leverage search engine
marketing as their larger counterparts have.
The majority of small and mid-size B2B firms consistently report that
they are underserved when it comes to search engine marketing services
- which are often necessary to help them gain visibility and generate
leads. Executives of emerging businesses frequently cite their size as
a disadvantage as SEM has evolved with an eye to big, national
customers that have time and resources to run search engine marketing
campaigns.
"There's a huge gap not being filled," says Miechiels. "Too many
businesses have to choose between using a full-blown agency, which is
often out of reach, or placing their futures in the hands of an
inexperienced or under qualified kid fresh out of school. These
businesses have a real need for expertise and advice as search engine
marketing has become more competitive and complicated," explains
Miechiels. "That's why I spend so much time with my clients early in
the process, at the strategic level, more so than an agency typically
would."
Todd Miechiels, Inc. offers coaching, planning, execution, expert
resources, and ongoing support as part of the initiative to help
emerging B2B firms market and sell more efficiently. Miechiels offers
the services on a one-off basis or as part of a customized solutions
package built around the goals, philosophies, and timelines of the
individual company. Add-ons, such as PPC campaigns, Internet marketing
audits, content development, online PR support, and visitor conversion consulting are also available if needed.
The customized B2B search engine marketing
services have already caught on with several executives across a
variety of competitive industries. SalesNexus, a Houston-based firm
that offers CRM solutions for online sales was among those looking for
proven B2B search engine marketing services, without resorting to a
large agency. "We were looking for someone who had a proven track
record so we didn't have to reinvent the wheel. Todd was able to make
an immediate impact, dramatically lowering our cost per lead, and as a
result we've been able to fund additional growth programs," says Craig
Klein, president of SalesNexus.
Matt Middlebrook, President of Talon Performance Towing Suspensions,
has also found success through Todd Miechiels. "We wanted to get
results quickly but didn't want to just throw money at it. Todd has
worked with us to create a sustainable pipeline that we can count on to
help fuel our growth. Bringing him in early was key to our success."
Tim Maxman, President of Hi-Flitones.com, an Atlanta-based ringtone
company, wanted individualized attention and SEM support to get his
start up off the ground. "Adding Todd to our team has really paid off
for us. Since he's come on board, traffic and revenues have nearly
doubled month over month. I can always count on him to be there to
support us and help us make the most intelligent and effective use of
our dollars and resources," reports Maxman.
Miechiels' passion and intensity for helping the small business owner
succeed is part of his own key to success. "I enjoy working closely
with the executives and entrepreneurs on a strategic level. It's very
rewarding to watch them succeed."
Moving into 2007, Todd Miechiels, Inc. plans to continue focusing its
efforts on providing a handful of B2B firms with the necessary skills
and resources to thrive.
