SmartSites celebrated their 10th anniversary since their humble beginnings on April 15, 2021.
A company with over 200 employees today and generating an annual revenue of over $10 million once started out as a business consisting of just two brothers and a few of their friends. SmartSites was started in 2011 by brothers, Alex and Michael Melen, with the paperwork signed on Michael’s 21st birthday which was, coincidentally, the day after he graduated from university. The duo spent their first few days and nights assembling furniture and wires and doing basically everything that would help them cut down on expenditure as a small startup.
Today, this startup that started out with two brothers and a team of their friends has been consistently ranked to the Inc. 5000’s List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for four years and has achieved over 500 5-star online reviews. This is on top of the many awards and accolades SmartSites has amassed throughout the years. Michael Melen, co-founder and CEO of SmartSites said, “I can be (half) credited with starting SmartSites but its growth and success go entirely to the rest of the team.”
As a digital marketing agency that specializes in web design, organic SEO, and PPC marketing, SmartSites is able to come up with creative solutions that will elevate any brand. A comprehensive marketing strategy is formulated after considering the unique needs and goals of each client. What many businesses may not know is that online marketing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it is all about finding where your target market is at, what they want and how best to reach them. To this end, local SEO may make more sense for some businesses than others and is especially recommended for those whose offerings are limited by geographical location. SmartSites is adept at picking out the unique needs of any business in identifying the best approach to take when elevating their online presence, whether that is through landing page optimization, social media ads, creating engaging content, and many more.
Faced with the ongoing pandemic that broke out earlier last year, an increasing number of businesses have started to recognize the importance of having a digital presence. From having a mobile first web design to content that keeps customers browsing, it can be said that the digital marketing industry is one that never sleeps. Even after a campaign has been successfully launched, there is data to stay on top of and actionable insights to derive. This round-the-clock work is the domain of digital marketing agencies such as SmartSites, which is showing no sign of ceasing after 10 years of activity. In fact, the dedicated team of over 200 employees is committed to finding new and innovative solutions to derive brand awareness and help clients increase their conversion rates day after day.
As to what the next 10 years will bring for them, only one thing is for sure: there is no slowing down from here.
