Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business.
Michigan has THE highest unemployment rate in the nation. It has been staggering around 8.5% for far too long. While displaced workers are starting new businesses all the time, many of our local entrepreneurs haven't got the technological savvy or marketing knowledge to get the customers to their door. As an independent search engine optimization consultant, I make sure my clients have a website that not only ranks well in the search engines, but also interacts well with its visitors and entices them to take an action toward buying.

While technically I could do this service for anyone in the world, I’m focusing on helping my fellow Michiganders meet their mortgage obligations each month and provide for their families. As one of the hardest hit states in the current economic crises and it’s no exaggeration to say that many Michigan residents constantly sit just a few months away from loosing it all. The way I see it, we need to band together to help one another if we are going to not only survive this (dare I say it) recession, but prosper through it. I hope to help them do just that by getting the internet marketing exposure they require.
