We came to Valor Marketing because our old website wasn't SEO optimized and looked like every other IT firm's website. We needed to stand out and Joe Zeman and his team delivered.They handled our full site rebuild including SEO and AEO optimization, content rewrites, blog migration, and redirects. Their expertise and communication were excellent.We've already seen an uptick in traffic and continue working with them on Google Ads and ongoing SEO/AEO. We constantly refer friends and colleagues to them as they are a great referral partner. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner: I'm thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Valor Marketing! It's great to know that our team, led by Joe Zeman, made your website stand out with effective SEO and AEO optimization. We're delighted that you've already seen an increase in traffic and appreciate your referrals and continued partnership.

Working with Valor Marketing LLC has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our business. From the very first meeting, their team was professional, responsive, and really took the time to understand what we needed from our website. They didn’t just build a site. They built a strong online foundation for our brand.Our new website is clean, fast, mobile-friendly, and reflects the high-quality work we deliver at B.A.D. Pro Services LLC. We’ve already had multiple customers mention how easy it was to navigate and request a quote, How nice the website is, which says a lot. The attention to detail and communication throughout the entire process were top-notch.I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, so much so that we’ve already decided to have Valor Marketing manage our Google Ads next. I’m confident they’ll bring the same level of excellence to that as they did with the website.If you’re a business owner looking for a reliable, experienced team to handle your website or online marketing, I highly recommend Valor Marketing LLC. They know what they’re doing, and they truly care about helping your business grow.
