I originally had my website built through another guy and quickly realized it didn’t really reflect my business the way it should. Neil helped me rethink how everything was positioned, from my website and LinkedIn profile to defining my ideal client and pricing my services properly. What I appreciated most is that he didn’t just focus on “marketing.” He helped me understand how to approach local businesses for corporate fitness services and build a clearer long-term direction. It feels like I finally have structure instead of guessing.

Neil and the team at Columbus Marketing Experts rebuilt our website and helped our practice start appearing in Google searches for weight loss services in Dublin, Ohio. Before working with them we weren’t showing up on page one, and now we are starting to appear in the search results and Google maps. They explained everything clearly and built a professional site that represents our medical practice well!!

Columbus Marketing Experts helped me build my personal website and refine my LinkedIn profile so it better reflects my professional work. Neil also shared ideas with our team about running effective LinkedIn profile workshops, which helped us plan trainings that were relevant to LinkedIn updates and algorithms. The process was thoughtful and practical, and the guidance made it much easier to translate our ideas into something clear and useful online.

Neil gave me practical guidance on how to structure my food business properly before trying to scale. He walked me through clarifying my ideal customer, focusing locally in my neighborhood and adjacent neighborhoods before trying to take on the whole city, setting up a simple ordering system, and building a repeatable menu before expanding. He also helped me understand the importance of having a Google Business Profile, registering my business correctly, and using local events and networking strategically. It made the process feel clear and manageable instead of overwhelming.

Before working with them, we weren’t showing up consistently when people searched for our services. Within weeks, we started seeing more inbound calls and people mentioning they found us on Google and Maps. The biggest difference is that we’re actually being discovered now.

I requested a website review from them, and they gave me a full breakdown with priorities. It helped me fix things I didn’t even realize were hurting my site.

Someone I wish I had found much sooner… so hoping to help anyone reading this! Neil runs one of my favorite advertising companies in Columbus Ohio (and the United States in general). It’s one thing to be knowledgeable and it’s next level to know the intricacies of marketing that he does - while delivering his solutions in such a thorough way. He is kind and patient as he listens to concerns and objectives in goals - asks questions to truly understand and know exactly how to overcome issues I’ve had. I can’t say enough about him. Save yourself time, headaches and ultimately money and hire Neil TODAY!

Columbus Marketing Experts has been a huge help for my business. They handled our branding agency needs, designed a clean and functional website as our website designer, and even worked with us as a media consultant to improve our online strategy. Everything now feels cohesive, and we’re already seeing results.

I hired Columbus Marketing Experts to help me get ahead with AI-powered search results. They knew exactly how to optimize my site and Google profile for voice search and AI answers. Within a month, I saw a jump in my impressions and traffic from tools like ChatGPT and Google SGE. Neil explained the new AI trends in simple terms and set up the right content structure for me. I’ve never felt more confident about where the internet is heading. Highly recommend for any business wanting to future-proof their SEO.
