This is probably the easiest article I will ever write. I LOVE what I do for a living and I expecially enjoy showing other people how they can take advantage of the web to the benefit of their business. Although the "Why should I do business with you?" question rarely comes up when I meet someone in person, it struck me that many of my online audience may be asking themselves just that.

Who is this Ben Finklea guy and why should I trust his company with my web marketing business?

:-)

Well, it's a great question and I could give you 10 good answers. (In fact, scroll down and I bulleted out a few...I just couldn't help it.) But, the most powerful answer is that fact that our customers make more money after they retain us. Not funny-money. Not maybe someday money. Actual, quantifiable increases in your company's profits. If you've read much on this website then you probably understand how we do online marketing so I won't go into all the details. But, I'm always amazed how few marketing companies actual talk about conversions.

I own a webstore. It's called Sprysoft Academic Software. As a store owner, I get calls every week talking to me about SEO, online ad buys, or other ways I could market my business. Because most of those people don't know that I also run Sprydev, I usually let them talk and listen very carefully to their answers. Just the other day I asked a guy about helping me to convert more customers on my site. Could he do that? His response was telling. He said that they would get the customers to the site and then I could convert them. In other word, "No! We don't do that!" SEO does not equal more business! You MUST streamline your site with clear calls to action or your money is wasted.

Friends, when you are evaluating SEO companies, ask them if they have ever run an ecommerce site before. Ask them if they have ever made money on a website other than billing out time for other people. It's the actual experience of running the ins and outs of a web company that makes SpryDev so good at what we do. We know because we've been there before. We've done it before. We've wasted a lot of time and money on fruitless marketing and advertising efforts. We know what works and that is what we do for our customers! You can learn in two ways. Make a bunch of mistakes or ask someone who has already made them. Well, ask me! I'm glad to help you grow your business online.

OK, here are 10 other great reasons:

1. Results. Our customers have reported earning more than they spent on our services, usually with 4 or 5 months.
2. Personal service. I personally work with every single customer. You won't be passed on to someone new.
3. Consistent effort. We don't do a bunch of work in the first month and then charge you while we wait for results. We work on your site continually while our contract runs.
4. We're "Fire and Forget". Once we have all the information we need, you don't have to manage the process. Sure, you can call us anytime but you should keep your eyes on your business while we build the traffic you need to make you successful.
5. We've done it before. We also own and operate an online store, Sprysoft Academic Software, so we know what it takes to be successful online.
6. We live what we preach. (We drink our own Koolaid.)
7. We're obsessed with GOOD SEO. We read dozens of websites, books, and resources to learn the best way to make your site shine online.
8. We don't do BAD SEO. We don't do anything that the search engines have said not to do! No gateway pages, no link farming, no spamming.
9. Our results stick. You know that your site will go up in the seach results naturally with good links and good content. That means that if the search engines change their algorithms, your site will probably move UP, not down.
10. Our work is like the Good Side of the Force. It may take a little longer but it's more powerful, more effective and it doesn't blow up planets when your back is turned.

Now that you know what we're all about, why not give me a call? My direct number is 512-989-2945 x204. (That's reason #2 again. :-) )
