We begin with a comprehensive audit of your current digital assets and website to establish a baseline.

We focus on building a strong foundation through technical excellence while implementing proven strategies that drive measurable results.
How do you manage PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising campaigns?
Our PPC management includes comprehensive account review or new account setup, campaign creation, ongoing optimization, and regular reporting. We leverage industry-specific knowledge to target highly relevant keywords, implement geographic modifiers, optimize ad positions, refine ad copy, use advanced grouping strategies, and continuously test variables. Our approach focuses on efficiency, sustainability, and consistency.
What does your SEO service include?
Our SEO services cover both on-site and off-site optimization. The on-site component involves ensuring your website’s technology, code, and structure are optimized for search engines, with particular focus on Google’s best practices. We conduct technical SEO audits, keyword analysis, competitive analysis, and implement ongoing optimizations to improve your organic search rankings.
How do you approach website development?
We specialize in WordPress development, which is our primary recommended website platform and CMS. Our services include custom WordPress theme development, content updates, navigation improvements, hosting management, UI/UX enhancements, landing page customizations, web analytics, application integration, domain management, and security updates.
What is T-Bolt Reputation Management?
Our reputation management service installs review solicitation and management tools on your websites to generate new first-party reviews, import validated third-party reviews, and provide a platform to monitor and respond to online reviews. The system can be configured to automatically publish positive reviews while flagging negative ones for your team’s response.
How do you structure your pricing for PPC management?
We charge a fee to either set up a new account or evaluate an existing account and charge an hourly or flat fee for this, depending on the complexity of the project. These fees typically range from $1000 to $3000. For ongoing account management, we charge either hourly or a fee based on the budget declining from 15% as budgets go up.
What are your SEO audit costs?
Our comprehensive SEO, AEO and GEO audits typically range from $750 to $1,250. This cost covers a detailed analysis of your current organic positioning in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages), domain analytics, competitive analysis, backlinking profile, and keyword opportunities. For clients who proceed with ongoing SEO management, we often apply the audit fee toward the first month of service. Ongoing SEO services are billed hourly and depend on the services provided. We will provide a detailed proposal and SEO plan prior to any engagement to ensure that our clients understand what work we are doing and have clear expectations on outcomes.
Do you require long-term contracts?
While we believe in building long-term partnerships with our clients, our specific contract terms depend on the services provided. Some programs show better results with longer commitments, but we’re flexible and can discuss options that align with your comfort level and business goals.
How quickly can you implement digital marketing programs?
Our implementation timeline typically follows this structure:
- Week 1: Kickoff meeting and needs analysis
- Week 2: Delivery of audit and recommendations
- Weeks 3-4: Integration and setup process
- Week 5: Begin standard program delivery
- Weeks 6-8: Specialized implementations and program review
- Ongoing monthly analysis, reporting and optimization.
For website development projects, timelines depend on complexity but generally range from 4-8 weeks.
How do you measure and report on results?
We provide comprehensive reporting through a client login dashboard and/or customized monthly reports. For PPC campaigns, we track metrics including impressions, clicks, CTR, conversion rates, and cost per acquisition. SEO reporting covers keyword rankings, organic traffic, and user engagement metrics. All our programs include regular review meetings to discuss performance and strategy adjustments.
What results can I expect from your services?
While results vary based on your industry, competition, and starting point, our clients typically see increased efficiency in their digital marketing spend, improved conversion rates, higher quality leads, and enhanced online visibility. For PPC specifically, we focus on improving click-through rates and lowering cost-per-conversion ratios while attending to lead quality.
How do you handle website security and maintenance?
We provide ongoing WordPress security updates, plugin maintenance, and regular backups. Our preferred hosting environment is WPEngine, which offers additional security benefits and performance optimization. We proactively monitor sites for potential issues and implement best practices to prevent security vulnerabilities.
What is T-Bolt Locations and how does it work?

The system pushes out correct data to all channels on-demand and identifies discrepancies in near real-time, ensuring your business information remains accurate and consistent across the web.
How do you approach email marketing segmentation?
We believe effective email marketing requires proper audience segmentation. We work with clients to identify distinct audience groups (prospects, customers, partners, alumni, etc.) and develop appropriate messaging strategies for each segment. This includes determining optimal content types, messaging formats (individual vs. group), and sending cadence based on relevant variables like time of year or specific events.
