Your Local Digital Marketing News and Updates!
Practical marketing help for small business owners. Every post here starts with a real question we’ve heard from someone trying to run their own marketing — a business owner who wants to understand what to do next, not just hire someone to handle it.
You’ll find how-to guides on SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and analytics; when-to advice on hiring help versus doing it yourself; and honest walkthroughs of the tools we actually use with our own clients — Google Business Profile, WordPress, email platforms, and the AI tools worth adding to a small business stack. If a tactic works on a small business budget, we write about it here. If it doesn’t, we say so.
Posts get updated when the tools change, so newer articles reflect what’s working today — not what worked in 2019. Browse the topics and tags below to narrow in on what you’re trying to fix, or book a one-on-one coaching session if you’d rather work through it together.
Insights and practical guidance on websites, digital marketing, and online presence management for small business owners. Written by Kenneth Durrum and the Released Solutions team.
