About Me

Laura Clough
I am an Information Technology / Project Management professional and an entrepreneur.  I have owned several successful businesses and my own version of a real estate empire.

I have sold a waterfront condo using a Google Pay-Per-Click campaign – boy did that make me a believer in this Internet Marketing stuff.

My current obsession is Search Engine Optimization and Google PPC for local businesses who don’t normally worry about showing up on the first page of Google.

There is much untapped potential for small businesses to get their name and their products out there.   Most local small businesses don’t track their website stats, so they don’t realize that they are getting a benefit from paying those pesky hosting fees.

I’ve seen too many local businesses give up their websites all together because they didn’t see the return on investment and effort.

I think that’s foolish, and it frustrates me.   The tubes are here to stay, and they do get you more customers than you might realize.   I am convinced that there is money to be made on this internet, and I’ll be posting what I learn here to pay it forward.

I currently live in Maine (The Way Life Should Be) with my husband, our two children and our retired racing Greyhound, Maisy.
