Helping the Succeed Online
Helping Localized, Service Based Businesses Succeed Online
We Build Online Presences for Local Based Service Providers.
There’s a certain level of pride one has in being a local service provider. You’re the ‘go-to’ folks for the people in your area when it comes to your specialty. Competition between you, other local providers, and larger regional and national companies that service your area is tight. However, your service is of higher quality, more reliable, and more personalized than your competitors. You help build the community around you, donate time and money to the local groups and sports teams, and provide steady jobs for local families to rely on. You are the backbone of your community and America.
We’re here to help you tell your story.
We’re an online presence development company focused on the local based businesses that service America. We’re on a mission to help localized service providers reach their business goals through an affordable, goal oriented, and custom built online presence solution. Every project that we take on combines our client’s budget, their goals, their style, and our suite of services to create something that not only looks good, but also shows results.
It all started with a garabgeman.
Britton Heim, our founder, grew up working in his family’s waste hauling company. He has first hand experience working in, and operating a service industry business. Heim’s Disposal is rooted in rural, central Pennsylvania where small localized businesses dominate majority of all services provided. In the waste hauling industry there is stiff competition between local haulers, as well as much larger regional and national haulers. While many of the local haulers had little more than a phone book ad, Heim’s Disposal took on an online presence project that set them apart. They were now in a better position to compete with the larger regional and national companies. They attracted new, higher quality customers faster and operated more efficiently. Britton led this project and when he did he discovered just how powerful a good online presence can be. Since 2014, Britton has been building websites and developing online presences for businesses, and now Britton Heim & Company is here to help develop yours.
What We Do to Develop Online Presences
Throughout our journey creating and developing for businesses we’ve found a select group of services that work really well for our clients. What’s even better is that these services can be combined in different ways to fit nearly every client’s needs. This is important. Not every business is the same, and not every business needs that same thing from their online presence. We’ve come to settle on six over arching services that we provide: Website Building, Local Based Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click Advertising, Online Tool Integration and Training, Consultation, and Maintenance and Support. By using different elements from each of these overarching services we can create a truly unique solution that fits your business’s needs.
Website Building
Websites don't need to be fancy. That's not to say they don't need to be attractive, but they need to be effective at achieving goals. Whether you're looking for a lead capture tool, or just a way to show off your business, a custom built website can help.
Local Based SEO
There are various types of Search Engine Optimization, but the goal is the same: get your name to show up in search results. We focus on the SEO tactics that have been shown to increase local business's visibility in local search results.
Pay Per Click Ads
Search engine and social media pay per click ads are a great way to get your business in front of potential customers. Their ability to be targeted at specific demographic and geographic markets, as well as their affordability make them a very powerful tool.
Online Tools Integration
There are many tools online that can help your business achieve it's goals. Whether you're looking to communicate with customers easier, give your business a more professional look, or increase operational efficiency, there's a tool for that.
Online Presence Consultation
Sometimes you just need someone to talk things out with. Online presence things that is. We're here to help you decide if an online presence is right for you, where to take your online presence next, and how to use it more effectively. Let's have a chat.
Maintenance and Support
Your online presence is an investment in your business. In order to continue to see ROI it needs maintained. Our Maintenance and Support programs are custom fit to your business, and make sure your online presence is secure, fast, and operational.
Discover. Build. Maintain. Repeat.
This is how we make it happen.
We’ve created a process that has shown results and satisfaction time and time again. It was created to make sure you know exactly what to expect, we know exactly what to build, and the end result turns our exactly as it should. You could say it’s a pretty exact process. Having a set process to our projects also enables us to be more creative in our solutions and provide a more customized service. That may seem a bit backwards, but it’s true.
Discover.
We start with the Discovery phase of the process where we use our online presence worksheet to gather all the information we’ll need to know for a successful project. The worksheet saves both you and us time and allows for a shorter first meeting, and a quicker turn around time from first contact. You can find the worksheet below.
Build.
Once we’ve gathered all the info we need, we enter the Building phase. This starts with a proposal, which will outline all the work we’re going to do. Once accepted, it’s time to start building out your online presence. When completed you’ll get to review everything, make a few revisions, and then we launch everything into the internet to make it live.
Maintain.
The Maintenance phase of the process is arguably one of the most important. After your website is launched your custom maintenance and support program goes into effect. We assure that everything stays up to date, secure, fast, and operational, as well as provide support and growth services to keep your online presence growing.
Repeat.
Phase four is an optional phase, however it can be necessary depending on the business. The Repeat Phase is exactly what it sounds like. After your initial project, when its time to grow or change your online presence, we repeat the Discover, Build, Maintain phases. All of our online presences are built to grow with your business, so their easy to expand and change in the future.
