Marketing and SEO
We find the words your customers really use, even the ones that sound odd to you. Then each thing you do gets its own page, with the towns you serve right on it.

Elyisius does marketing and SEO for small businesses in Soldotna, and this is where we're based. Most people looking for a business like yours don't know your name yet. They type what they need and the town. We help you be there when they do, and we make it easy for them to reach out once they find you.

What we help with
Digital Presence
Your name, phone, address and hours match on your website, your Google Business Profile and your listings. That way nobody ends up calling an old number.
Social Media
Recent posts show people you're open and busy. We help keep them going when the week fills up.
Getting found around Soldotna
Soldotna sits where the Sterling Highway meets the Kenai Spur, right at the bend of the Kenai River. A lot of the businesses here take customers from all over the central peninsula, out Kalifornsky Beach Road, up Funny River Road and right in town.
So the places you serve belong on your pages. Somebody out on K Beach wants to know you'll come their way, and a page that names it tells them. We run a business here too, and we know marketing is usually the first thing that gets pushed to next week.

How we work on your marketing
We see how customers find you today
Your website, your Google Business Profile, your social media and where your calls come from. It's all part of a system evaluation, and we tell you the truth about what's working and what isn't.
We learn how your customers search
What they type, what they call your work and what they ask before they pick up the phone. That's what goes on the pages.
We build a page for each thing you do
Every service gets its own page, written for the person reading it. The title and headings say plainly what it is and where.
We keep going
SEO takes time. We keep watching which pages bring in calls and messages, and that's how we decide what to change next.
What Soldotna owners ask about marketing
Is there a marketing company in Soldotna, Alaska
Yes, Elyisius does marketing and SEO, and we're based right here in Soldotna, Alaska. We're Seth Stacey, Jacob Mena and Mark Theiler, and we own a small business here too, so we know how fast marketing slides when you're busy running things. It's one part of what we do. We also help with branding, websites, social media and lead follow up, and we tie it all together so it works as one system.
How long does SEO take to work
SEO takes longer than any of us would like. New pages usually need weeks before search engines start trusting them, and busier searches can take months. We'll never promise you'll be number one on Google, and anyone who promises a spot by a certain date is guessing. What we will do is show you what's working and what isn't.
Do I need a Google Business Profile
Yes, you need a Google Business Profile if you run a local business around Soldotna. The map results show up at the top of a local search, and you can't be in them without one. Our post on the importance of a Google Business Profile for a small business in Alaska walks through it.
Why does each town need its own page
Each town needs its own page because people search them separately. Somebody in Sterling usually types Sterling, and a page that names Sterling can speak to that search. The page has to really be about that place, though. Dropping a new town name into the same words looks cheap, and people can tell.
Do you do marketing for businesses outside Soldotna
Yes, we do marketing for businesses outside Soldotna. We're based here, with Kenai, Sterling, Kasilof and Nikiski close by, and because most of the work is online, we also work with businesses in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Mat-Su Valley.
Can we meet in person
Yes, we can meet in person. We can meet you at your business, or we can get on a video call.
How much does it cost
What it costs depends on what your business needs, and there are a lot of options, which is why every job starts with discovery and a system evaluation. We build the smallest thing that removes the problem, and it's measured against what that problem already costs you every month. That way you can weigh the work against the time and money you're already losing to it. We're glad to give you some price ranges if that helps. Even better, if you let us know what you'd like to spend and what you need done, we'll put together the best options we can for that.
How long before we see something working
You'll see something working once the first process is built, because we start with the issues that are costing you time, money and frustration. Starting small means you're not waiting on a big project to finish before anything changes. You get to watch it work on your real messages before we build the second one, and if something needs adjusting, that's when we find out.
