FIX what isn't working and GROW what does work
Does the writing on your website, emails, signs and ads accurately communicate who you are and what you do?
Are you having any issues with online sites, reviews, email, social media, or your website?
Is your business experiencing growing pains?
Want to get all your ducks in a row by becoming more efficient and organized and make better use of technology, time and space?
Is business stagnating? Is it time for a new marketing strategy?
Do you have something that isn't working that stays in the background of your mind? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone else handle it for you?
This is a technical problem with a technical solution. Your domain’s DNS records need to be assessed and changed so that the Interweb handles your email properly. Don’t worry, we speak Geek.
This is completely doable. Technical settings behind the scene enable this to happen smoothly. And you can still use your favorite email program such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.
We have a lot of experience with CRMs (or Customer Relationship Management systems) and can recommend options and help you get up and running. The possibilities are endless here, from the very simple and inexpensive, to more sophisticated sales team options. We can set these things up for you, train you, and also provide email content writing.
We can help you get organized and stay organized, and teach you to make the most of the email program and tools you already have… or set you up with something more efficient that makes your life easier.
We can help make things flow smoothly. Whether it’s getting on board with a Google Business Suite, a shared calendar system, or something else…we have solutions for you.
If a potential customer finds your website but encounters broken links or this type of security message below, they are likely to back away and find another vendor or service. We can fix these things for you.
We have both the technical and design experience to update your website, no matter what platform or hosting service you use. We specialize in writing services, as well as graphics. We also do brand new complete website builds for clients.
Do you need to integrate your Instagram posts into your website? Need the ability to capture online leads? Want video content to properly display on your site for mobile phone screens or computers? We can help you with a wide variety of needs.
We can help you improve your search ranking. It’s partly SEO-enhancing content, and partly about reviews, online listings and behind-the-scenes settings.
If you’re not sure why, but you know your business could be more booming, we will point out which things are worth upgrading. One size never does fit all, so we tailor our assessment to YOUR particular business and situation.
STRATEGY.
We help you decide how to promote, where and when to get the best results while minimizing time and expenditure. The strategy is customized for YOU, for your business, your style, your strengths.
We are experienced in Google and Bing/Microsoft Pay-Per-Click Advertising and can advise you or manage campaigns on your behalf.
What makes sense to focus on? Which platforms yield the best results for your business? There is a sweet spot for every business, and what works for one may be inappropriate for another. Nothing is cookie-cutter. We will help you identify a winning strategy that will conserve your time and energy and get the most bang for your buck.
When it comes to your own business, it can be tricky to have an outside perspective. We come in with fresh eyes and the ability to quickly and easily diagnose the weak links in the chain. Take advantage of our comprehensive Marketing Assessment for just $75, which includes a plan of clearly defined action steps to remedy the situation.
Communication is so important in any business. What impression are you making with your website or email content? We can edit your existing writing or create new content to transform and polish your professional image.
Whether it’s writing a professional bio for you as the business owner, re-writing website content to make it shine, writing email content that makes people open and click, writing social media posts about your products or services, or something else, quality WRITING and EDITING is our strong suit at Grand Valley Solutions.
We have created professional videos for clients, from raw footage to editing with graphics and music. We also have done sound editing of podcasts and other voice recordings. We also create graphics for thumbnails, book covers, etc. Grand Valley Solutions is a one-stop-shopping center for small businesses!
We speak everyday Geek. Do you have a spreadsheet or small database project? Are you trying to figure out how to do a mail merge for a mail campaign? Are you trying to get your smartphone to play nice with your computer? Whatever the need is, contact us and we’ll let you know if it’s in our wheelhouse. (If it isn’t, we can help you find the help you need.)
In today’s technological world, there are a huge array of frustrations that arrive almost daily. Some of the “small potatoes” projects that we’ve helped clients out with include: stopping LinkedIn’s annoying automated invitations to contacts; merging duplicate social media accounts and online listings; dealing with various log-in website issues; using Skype, Zoom or Google Hangouts; etc. These are just examples, and as you know, technology is constantly changing and presenting new challenges.
Don’t get frustrated. Give us a try!
We’ve helped clients navigate a variety of bureaucratic hurdles. One client was creating her own 501(c)(3) organization and we assisted her with filing the paperwork. We also dabble in bookkeeping and some clients ask us to help out with tax forms. We also have experience in grant writing. You name it and we’ve probably done it.
We have decades of very diverse business experience, combined with engineering skills to assess and adapt to new situations. If there is anything you need help with that you don’t specifically see listed here, please reach out to us. We will honestly tell you whether or not we can give you the results you need.
