About my Business:
The internet has opened up the world to consumers but for main street American businesses, the small and medium sized businesses, the promise that internet commerce has to offer has been for the most part out of the reach of our limited marketing budgets.

Some businesses can afford to mount a limited seo or ppc campaigns but it takes time and money. Most of us are left to use the Yellow Pages, small regional paper publications, valpaks and handouts. All expensive and ineffective.

Did you know:
* 52% of all web traffic is video (according to industry watchdog, eMarketer)
* More than 70% of all web visitors watch online video (according to NY Times)
* The average YouTube visitor spends 27 minutes watching video per day
* The search engines visit video sites every few minutes—so your videos appear in Google, Yahoo and MSN just MINUTES after you submit, not days or weeks
* Because video is so popular, video links and clips often show up before other content


What we need is a key to open that door of internet commerce?

Video Search Engine Optimization (VSEO) is the key. We have the ability to get our clients on the front page of Google and other search engines in a matter of hours. Not days, weeks, or months – we can do it in a day.!!!
And it costs less than a typical Yellow Page ad to maintain if you provide a video. Don’t have a video, not a problem. We have an Emmy Award winning television, commercial and infocommercial professional on our team who can create a high quality video, for a fee, customized to your specific needs.
Over 50% of the traffic on the internet today is video. If you want give your business massive exposure for far less money than any traditional SEO company then please check out www.localadsconsultant.com to see what we can do for you.
There is no better way to market to thousands of consumers that are online Shopping / Researching / Blogging / Gaming / Surfing all around the internet. We provide high exposure to our clients without having to be an expert or even know anything about the internet or technology.
About Me:
I am a fairly new resident to North Carolina. I relocated here from suburban New York City about a year and half ago. My best friend is my lovely wife Wendy, we've been married for 15 years and we have a wonderful daughter named Cailee.
My Ideal Customer is:
Any small or medium sized business that would like to attract better qualified customers to their place of business. Whether it is a brick and mortar establishment or a website.
My Ideal Referral Partner is:
Business development companies, advertising agencies, real estate agents, and any small or medium sized business.

And the shorter the better, too! In my experience, the .30 second-2:00 video will do MORE for you than the 8 minute one. Think about it. When YOU search You Tube for a video, which one are you more likely to click on - the 2 min. segment or the 8 ...
