I needed somebody who had expertise in digital strategy and marketing to evaluate all of my marketing, website, and social media platforms. I was getting traffic on my website and from Google but it wasn't necessarily leading to a lot of sales and I was getting very little interaction on social media posts. My website had a lot of information but was cluttered. Kelsey did a full digital analysis of my entire company and gave me step by step feedback on things to change on my website, my Google business, and all my social media platforms. She also explained what I was doing well and why it was good with all kinds of detailed notes and helpful information. I feel if I had hired somebody to do this it would have cost me thousands of dollars but to have this type of value included with my SIAA membership speaks volumes about the organization and what it can do for any agency. I'm confident all of the changes will not only help my agency grow but will help establish more credibility to my existing and potential clients. Terrence Kloss
