Mainely SEO is the brain child of Nathan O’Leary, an out of the box thinker, entrepreneur, idea guy and internet guru. Nathan’s idea to start a business, develop websites and marketing them online started back in 1998.
He was just 19 at the time and working at local a pet store. His nickname was Fishman because he knew a lot about salt water reef tanks. You know, the ones with bright colored fish, live rock and living coral! Back then his business was called ‘Fishman Industries’, not the best name for a web design company. He created many websites for his family and friends but it was extremely difficult back then to convince a company they needed to be online. They did not see the value. He can still remember trying to pitch Jolly John on the idea that he should list all of his cars for sale online. Even today, it can still be hard for small businesses owners in Maine to grasp the idea that they can compete at the same level as large corporations online.
The internet has leveled the playing field for everyone, big and small. With the reach of the internet, and now social media, anything is possible. There are over 500 million people on Facebook and your solution to their problem shouldn’t be hard to find. Mainely SEO will put your business front and center when your customers are ready to take action. That “action” could be to sign up for your newsletter, purchase your products or even recommend it to friends.
Call Mainely SEO today for a free 30 minute telephone consultation to discuss your wants, needs and most importantly, your goals and what you would like to accomplish online. You may just need a Facebook fan page, a full eCommerce website to sell your goods, or maybe even a custom iPhone application.
Nathan enjoys networking and talking business anytime. Many times you can stalk find him at local events such as Tech Maine events, Tweet Ups, Social Media FTW, Facebook Maine and the Social Media Breakfast’s (which are his favorite!)
