Martin Maybruck’s Story (SEO Westport CT)

I am the father of an 9 year old girl and Husband to Holly Maybruck. We live in a 110 year old farm house (used to be a grain store) in Westport, Connecticut . (It’s in Fairfield County, CT or southeastern Connecticut)

I have always been self-employed and I have a MAJOR entrepreneurial passion . I was an Architect in a prior life and I owned my own Construction Management business in New York City.

Story about my first website :

I made my first company website www.PierHead.com back in 1997 – (You can see some of my old projects there – we won several AIA awards too). I had to learn Search Engine Optimization after I realized that no one was coming to our company website. Well the Search Engine Optimization I did worked! I haven’t touched the site in years (it’s not a web site design I would do now) but it is still on the first page of Google’s results out of 18,800,000 web pages for the keyword “general contractor new york city “.

It’s the #1 actual New York City contractor website, the sites above it are all government websites or vertical search engines.

(SEO) Search Engine Optimization & Internet Marketer since 2002 :

I love (SEO) Search Engine Optimization & Internet Marketing …it is my passion and has been since 2002 and I love helping people grow their businesses and see real results using the power of online marketing…see the list of online marketing strategies that I use below.

In 2009 I joined Howie Schwartz, an internet marketing “guru” as a coach and project manager. I teach some of Howie’s online lead generation courses like www.imleadership.com and www.howiesapprentice.com.

Martin’s Latest Local Small Business Success Story

I am currently helping a small local apparel retailer who is seriously struggling to stay in business during this recession. Walk in sales have slowed to almost nothing. But they are surviving now due to the improvements I made to their website:

>> to make them stand out from their competitors
>> helped improve sales conversions
>> implemented several online marketing strategies to improve visibility and increase targeted traffic (more real buyers not window browsers)
>> and I set them up with an email marketing strategy that makes them almost half a month’s worth of revenue each time they send out an email .

They are now dominating their competition and their website is keeping them in business and surviving this recession. And this didn’t cost much at all …we just used smart marketing strtegies that are proven to work, tested results and kept improving on them.
Implement > Test > Improve > Implement > Test > Improve…keep repeating
