Duane Palmer

Local Search and Lead Gen Strategist

I live in the fast-growing city of Surrey, BC Canada with my amazing wife.  I'm not shy to say I'm a local search specialist.  That doesn't mean I know everything (things change so often now), but that I am constantly learning to improve and keep up with Google's constant changes.

I've always loved strategy, finding solutions to a problem. My earlier jobs involved everything from being carpenters' helper to fund-raising for a charity, to leading a team to strategize and open up a new work in an unstable region.  Since constantly learning online ways to promote and get websites to be found in search, I realized how many local businesses just didn't know how, or had no time, to get their business website bringing in the calls by being found in search results.  So I started Found Online Solutions in 2012 in Surrey, BC.  I got my first client online and ranked within a couple months, so it attracted her first customer through the web.  Our SEO & digital marketing service clients get more of their OWN customers because I help them get found online through Google/Bing search, maps, social media, video, and digital ads.
Today I have clients who have dramatically increased their web traffic by being found for more search terms, and also a much busier store due to local web marketing and Facebook/Instagram ads.

I invite you to set an appointment for a free half-hour walk-through of YOUR business' online web presence and how we can improve it, then become our next satisfied loyal customer.

Why are your services so inexpensive? Does that mean low quality?

I own a small business myself, so know that it's not beneficial for me to pay some big marketing corporation for their cookie-cutter packages that may or may not help me, and know that a large percent of that is going to their big overhead of office space, sales team, etc.  We can keep costs down because I work from home with lower overhead, have a small team of experts to call on when needing specific tasks done, and I do things strategically, changing course when necessary, so that only what is most needed is done - and for those with lower packages that is not all-inclusive, we will choose the highest priority tasks that will help the most to get your business more exposure, calls, or appointments.  For those who go for the higher all-inclusive packages, we become like your partners providing more value than if you paid thrice as much for a full-time marketers salary!

Yes,  We offer 5-7 page effective local business website design or re-design for just $250 (& 8-15 pages for $450) when any local SEO or local web marketing package is purchased a year in advance.  Not only will you save on the services compared to monthly, but also the website.

We prefer to offer websites only when it's with an SEO order.  Important reasons for this:
1) Keyword research and Search Engine planning should always come BEFORE building an effective website, NOT after.  This is vital if you want your site to match what people are actually searching for, so the very structure and content of the website is formed around your main search phrases gleaned from good research and SEO knowledge. 
2) It actually saves your business $$ in the long run. Why? Because we tackle on-site SEO and web design at the same time - so you don't have to do it later.  I've optimized a website for a client, who then later had a different company redesign his website without coordinating with me - and since many web designers don't plan around search engines, they lost lots of the ranking (& thus $) we helped them achieve.  If you bring an existing website that wasn't planned well for search, it often requires some redesign of your website anyway - so you save this potential cost at the outset.
2) To be frank - we don't make much profit off of websites as a stand-alone service for what many are willing to pay- they ALWAYS take more time than predicted.  Because of this, we decide on a case by case basis if it is worth our time to do a website if not joined with an SEO package.  Just give us a call at 778-578-1202.

Duane, the owner, is a strategic thinker and able to have see the big picture, and work back to detailed strategy. He's very conscientious to detail that can give an edge over your competitors search rankings who use a different company that misses details.  We're not perfect, but will correct any mistakes that may happen.  Most of our customers have stuck with us for over 5 years since they started because they realize they won't get the same value elsewhere, but not as reliable or as good a SUPPORT, and have obviously been greatly helped.  None are locked into any contract, and we do not hold hostage any login details, etc. All web assets we create belong to the business, unless otherwise stated in specific deals.
