Welcome To Our Flyline Search Marketing Blog
We are a family owned and operated marketing agency. Our goal is to find and strategically partner with other great family owned and operated companies. In 2009 we opened our doors for business. One day after we opened, we took on our first client. It was a small family owned plumbing firm in the Atlanta area. To this day, that incredible family remains a loyal customer of Flyline Search Marketng. Not many firms are blessed enough to still serve the very first customer who ever signed up.
The Flyline staff is one of the most talented and dedicated you will ever meet. Once we strategically partner with a customer, our team jumps into action. They pour their life energy into helping our client achieve their goals. The dedication, effort and relentless spirit our team brings to the table has literally created life changing results for many we serve. Over the years, the Flyline team has produced some of the most amazing results you will ever see. One example: We helped a family owned florist named Carithers Flowers grow from $160,000 in annual online revenue, up to $3.5 million in annual revenues. Took 10 years of hard work and dedication, but we did it. Over that same time span, we also served other flower shops. We achieved similar success for all of those firms as well. Our team has battled and scrapped for every inch of the reputation we have achieved. Proud of our team, and our company.
We are a full service advertising firm, that specializes in digital marketing. Our comprehensive marketing program is designed to produce steady, reliable sales and revenue growth. Since opening our company in 2009, we have proceeded to build a lengthy track record of delivering success. Our firm has generated millions in sales for customers across the United States.

Serving customers all across the country offers great advantages. One being that we have mountains of analytics data at our finger tips to pour through. That data is used to refine and improve our comprehensive marketing program. Since 2009, that program has morphed from a solid concept, into a tactical and strategic weapon. One that we can use to the advantage of those we serve. The historical data is proof positive that this is in deed a fact. Customers who strategically partner with Flyline Search Marketing consistently achieve success.

Why Florists Should Follow The Carithers Flowers Blueprint For Growth
Growing Flower Shops In 2018 Follow The Carithers Flowers Growth Strategy Blueprint Take a quick look at the floral industry data on flowers shops. Small to medium sized flower shops have been closing at an alarming rate. Most recently the industry has just seen one of it's largest players, FTD, inch closure to the same fate. The data seems to indicate that closure rates have been accelerating over the past five years. There are lots of factors that have contributed to this trend. Lets talk a bit about those. Over the years, small to medium sized flower shops historically relied on wire services for new orders. Their very survival was dependent upon the success of large order gathers, such as FTD, Teleflora and 1-800 Flowers. The cost of order acquisition has steadily climbed for these [...]

Pay Per Click – Is PPC the new Yellow Pages?
Example: Anytime Fitness Health Club Located in Roswell, Georgia Pay per click advertising is fast becoming the new yellow pages. It is imperative for small business owners, who have traditionally relied upon yellow pages for their business leads, to begin to understand the true power of the Internet. In areas where DSL and Broadband Internet penetration and connectivity rates are high, pay per click has virtually replaced the phone book as the method used by most people to look up phone numbers for businesses. Here is an example of that phenomenom. In February, the yellow pages delivered approximately 30 business calls from current club members, over 100 calls from companies trying to sell our client their products and services, and literally zero calls from new prospective clients seeking a club membership. A total of zero new club members can be attributed to the yellow page advertising program during February. These numbers are accurate and verifiable, given, the club purchased a separate phone line and published the number only in their yellow pages ads. They purchased advertising in both the AT&T Marietta and Roswell yellow page directories. Those books cover a tremendous geographic area, all the way from Marietta to Dawsonville, Georgia (More than 25 square miles of advertising coverage). Our client spends more than $400 dollars per month on this yellow pages program. The client advised us that the program has generated very few members of the past 6 months. During the same 30 day period, a total of 337 people, within a 7 mile radius of the gym, conducted a Google keyword search for the term "Anytime Fitness". We know this because the clubs firm name is included in the hundreds of keyword terms we use in Google adwords lead generation efforts for this customer. The owner of the gym added approximately 45 new members during February, and indicates all learned of the club either because they drive by on a regular basis, live near the club or saw the Google ads we placed for the gym. All that said, I hope the number 337 really burns into your memory. Think about that number for a minute. That number represents the total number of people, within a 7 mile radius of that small gym, who searched precisely for that clubs firm and phone number. The yellow pages simply did not match that result during February. Want to know how many people saw all the Google ads we ran for our client during February? Sit down, this number is really going to make an impression (no pun intended). The total number of people who saw our clients Google ads during February was 28,787. Thats right folks, the Google program drove 28,787 impressions for this client in one months time, all from within a 7 mile radius of the club. That my friends is the true power of the Internet. Needless to say the owner of Anytime Fitness was pleased with the return on his investment from Google.
The Flyline Advantage
Leading the League in Connecting Buyers to Sellers! Want to grow your business even in a tough economy? Do what Pete’s Plumbing, Anytime Fitness, Do It Yourself Pest Control, Winder Construction, Mat Works Ltd and others have already done; hire Flyline Search Marketing™ to custom design and professionally manage a Pay Per Click marketing program for you on Google, Yahoo, MSN or Ask. Why are companies selecting Flyline Search Marketing™ over our larger rivals? 1) Flyline Search Marketing™ offers an affordable and extremely customer friendly fixed program fee structure. The vast majority of our client’s monthly advertising budget goes directly towards the purchase of actual advertising on the search engines. Our competitors keep between 30% - 50% of your total monthly advertising spend as their monthly management fee. The more you need to spend, the more they make. Example (Program Running Locally) You contract with Flyline Search Marketing™ to direct your advertising spend of $4000 monthly on Google. Flyline Search Marketing™ charges $400 per month to professionally design and manage your local Google program. Your firm receives $3600 dollars worth of actual advertising. If you had contracted with one of our larger rivals to spend the same $4000, they would have kept $1200 to $2000 of your money as their monthly fee. You would only have received $2000 to $2800 in actual advertising value. Example (Program Running Nationwide) You contract with Flyline Search Marketing™ to direct your advertising spend of $8000 monthly on Google. Flyline Search Marketing™ charges $800 per month to professionally design and manage your Nationwide Google program. Your firm receives $7200 dollars worth of actual advertising. If you had contracted with one of our larger rivals to spend the same $8000, they would have kept $2400 to $4000 of your money as their monthly fee. You would only have received $4000 to $5600 in actual advertising value. 2) Flyline Search Marketing™ allows more of your money to go towards the purchase of advertising. Because more of our client’s money goes toward the purchase of actual search engine advertising, our client’s consistently enjoythe benefit ofhigher ad positionsandmore traffic. 3) Clients of Flyline Search Marketing™ have the distinctive advantage of being able to add funds to their Google, Yahoo, MSN or Ask advertising account balance at any point in the month with no increase in management fee. The majority of our larger rivals don’t even offer that option. Those that do keep 30% - 50% of the additional funds you add, further increasing the overall monthly management fee you have paid. Bottom line, our clients have a huge advertising advantage over those of you using some of our larger rivals.
