Read on GoogleI've been building my website from scratch for the past 6 months, partly because I had the time, and partly because I couldn't find anyone that I felt had the knowledge and willingness to help me. Until I found Jimmy. I met him at a Wordpress meeting that he organized and when I left, I knew I had found an answer to the struggles I was having building the site. While he can and probably would have preferred to have built my site from scratch, he was more than willing to help me. I think his pricing is more than reasonable. He always gives me free advice and very helpful tips when I call him. He often calls me just to see if I need anything.

Read on GoogleIn the past have been burned by companies wanting to design websites and get our digital foot print on the web. Have known Jimmy for over a decade and decided to start a conversation about what we needed, he laid out a plan of what he could do and what he thought we needed to do to get started. He jumped in small at first getting us started with a business listing 1st then on to web design and all through the process was very informative on where in the process he was. Got everything up and running and have seen more business than i ever expected from what was done. We are starting to work on other things he proposed and have seen results from them also (text blast, google ads). He under promised and over delivered. VERY HAPPY !!!!

Answers to common questions about working with Zenogram.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO focuses on helping people find and understand a business when they search for services in a particular area. The work can involve website content, business information, Google Business Profile support and clear contact paths.
Can you help with Google Business Profile?
Yes. Where authorized access is available, we can review your current profile and agree on improvements. The work follows your actual business details, eligibility and the scope we agree together.

Can you help multiple locations?
Yes. We can plan work around legitimate business locations and the areas you serve. Each location needs accurate information, and the content and scope should reflect how the business actually operates.
