We are excited to announce the launch of the new website for Golden West Autobody in Springville, Utah.

Caleb came to us and said that he need a website and digital presence for his new autobody and classic car restoration business. He wanted a website where potential customers could see his work, and learn more about him. He also wanted a place to gather and show of reviews of his amazing work.

But he didn’t just need a digital storefront. He also needed a CRM system to help him track restoration projects, generate invoices, track his expenses, and send out bills.

We started by building him a very visual website that highlighted his experience and identified his target market. Then we built an inexpensive CRM and invoice system that he can use while he’s growing. Most pre-built automotive CRM systems change hundreds of dollars per months, and are way more complex than a small shop needs.

Caleb is thrilled with their new website, and we look forward to helping Caleb and the team at Golden West expand as their business grows!

Overnight First Page Google Search Results!

A few weeks ago we met with one of our clients to suggest that they update the home page on their website. They had recently made some changes to it. In the interest of cleaning up their home page and making it pop a bit more they had removed much of the text on the page so they could focus on the images.

Demand Generation Engine is now 503 Digital!

WHY THE NAME CHANGE?

We believe in practicing what we preach. And after a year of working as Demand Generation Engine we were starting to feel like the name wasn’t working the way we wanted. There were a few reasons behind the change.

A NAME SHOULD BE EASY TO REMEMBER

“Demand Generation Engine” was too long.

It takes too long to type out.

Our potential customers had a hard time remembering it. And a harder time spelling it!

And most of our customers didn’t know what it meant.

YOU SHOULD SPEAK YOUR CUSTOMER’S LANGUAGE

Most importantly, the name didn't speak to our customers in their language. If you work in marketing you should understand what Demand Generation is. And also what a Demand Generation Engine is.

But demand generation is more of a Business to Business (B2B) marketing term, and most our our customers are Business to Customers (B2C) businesses.

If you’re a local business owner, it’s just marketing speak. And doesn’t have any real meaning to you.

So we are trying to simplify. 503 signifies that we are based in Portland, Oregon and want to work with local Portland and Pacific Northwest customers. Digital emphasizes that while we can handle marketing from Strategy to Websites, we focus on the digital side of it.

If you know a local business that needs help finding more customers, or managing their marketing, send them our way! We would love to help them grow.

Onward!

“We went from only having a few customers a week to now being booked two months out!“

We have been working with Greg and Erin at CoffeFixNW for the past few months. They repair and service home espresso machines. We helped them move their website from WIX to WordPress, and helped them with some Search Engine Optimization (SEO) updates.

They recently left us a review on our Google Business Page and this comment jumped out at me:

“We went from only having a few customers a week to now being booked two months out!“

They got these results with on a few simple changes that boosted their search engine results, so they show up better when people are looking for them.

If you live in the Portland metro area and have an espresso machine that needs service or repair, give them a call!

If you are looking for similar results, send us a note. We would love to help.

Check out our latest review from Coffee Fix NW, a few simple changes filled their calendar!
