Better search engine ranking from the best internet marketing firm in Austin

Modern Digital Marketing Founder, Mike Massie

Originally a small business owner of an “offline” business, Mike Massie started building websites back in the late 90’s in order to advertise his own business on the internet.

“I knew I had to get my business online, so I built a website using Microsoft Publisher and uploaded it to the web. It turns out that I liked building websites so much and got so many compliments on my site, that it soon became a favorite hobby of mine.”

Writing A Book Results in Learning A Lot About Internet Marketing

Years later, Mike wrote and published a business manual for martial arts school owners, Small Dojo, Big Profits. Since he knew that the best way to market his book was via the internet, he applied the web marketing knowledge he’d gained over the last several years to marketing his business manual online.

“I quickly found that there weren’t that many martial arts instructors who were specifically looking for business information on the internet. So, I had to get really good at marketing online, really fast. That meant studying web design for marketing, sales copywriting, e-commerce… the works.”

A Hobby Turned Into a Passion Becomes a Career As Well

This soon led to Mike’s gaining considerable knowledge and expertise in search engine optimization of websites (so-called “on-page” factors), as well as search engine promotion of websites (“off-page” factors).

“Before long, I was selling manuals left and right. Plus, I had school owners contacting me for all manner of services, including web design and SEO. Before I knew it, I was offering a complete line of small business marketing and business coaching services for both aspiring and established martial art school owners.”

Modern Digital Marketing Is Born…

“When I started building websites and doing SEO for martial art school owners, I didn’t even think about how many clients the average school has. And, many of those clients are small business owners and professionals, who also need to advertise on the web. It didn’t take long before I had people contacting me from all sorts of different industries requesting my services.”

At this point, Mike realized that he wasn’t going to be able to just limit himself to working with martial art schools. Soon, Modern Digital Marketing was born as a complete, one-stop web design and SEO firm for small businesses.

“I’ve really developed a passion for helping small business owners succeed. With print advertising dying out, small businesses need internet advertising that is both affordable and effective. I’m more than happy to provide them with effective web marketing services that meet their needs.”

And, from all appearances Mike wouldn’t have it any other way.
