About

Over 10 years ago in 1999, I quit my high powered job in an Intellectual Property Law Firm in Washington DC and started a small website geared towards products and services for new moms, having just had our second child. Little did I know a new career was beginning in search marketing. I stumbled into the world of Search Engine Optimization and began building relationships with others in the industry by attending conferences like PubCon and Search Engine Strategies in Boston, San Diego, Las Vegas, London, Orlando, NYC, and New Orleans.

Throughout the years I’ve used my search marketing skills to grow brick and mortar companies I bought and sold including real estate investments, a fitness center and cleaning company. What I learned is that I love combining search marketing with local businesses. As the search strategies have changed over the years and Social Media has emerged through companies like Twitter and Facebook, local search marketing has become even more important, and exciting.

I hope you enjoy the case studies and articles on Summer Suns, and contact me if you would like to discuss a local marketing plan for your small business.
