Our Process
At FGM Internet Marketing, our process allows us to get to know you before mapping out a plan to help you accomplish your goals. We start with a full audit of your website and digital marketing to understand where you are and where you’d like to go. We also use this time to develop a client relationship built on open and transparent communication.
We’d love to have an initial consultation call to answer any questions you may have before embarking on this journey together. Read on to learn more about our process, or click here to contact us and schedule a call.

Taking what we’ve learned in the Digital Physical, we look to the future. What are your 1 to 5 year goals? Who are your customers? Where are your pain points?

What to expect
You’ll leave the Digital Physical + Strategy with a better understanding of your goals, customers, competition, and digital marketing strategy. At this point, you can choose to implement the strategy yourself or move forward with a retainer agreement for digital marketing services. If you choose to move forward with us, we’ll credit 50% of the cost of your Digital Physical + Strategy towards your retainer fee.
Step 3: Choose a Retainer Agreement
Our retainer packages are structured to meet you where you are. Not all businesses need a detailed, 12-month digital marketing strategy and 5+ digital marketing channels running at once. At the same time, certain goals cannot be accomplished without going all in and committing to a higher level of digital strategy.
We want to make sure our work fits your business in scope and budget. Many of our customers start at one level and move to another. Our retainer fees are per month and do not include ad budget. Because it takes about a year of intentional digital marketing to achieve results, we protect your investment by asking for a 12-month commitment.
