Verio Launches Marketing Service to Empower SMB Growth

A wide variety of requirements and an even wider array of options plague small business owners when it comes to their online presence and promotional efforts. Many small business leaders have neither the time nor expertise to evaluate, select and implement the most effective website design and marketing technologies that will ultimately help them to utilize their website as a business asset. They can easily spend thousands of dollars to launch the technologies and more needed to successfully market their business online, and this all before factoring in the personal time spent as well.  VerioVelocity changes that with custom website design, copywriting, SEO, directory submissions, Google placement, live chat, video conferencing and mobile web site development all included in one cost-effective package. Small businesses now have instant access to those resources that will enable them to successfully compete in today’s ever-evolving, competitive online marketplace.

“With well over half of small businesses looking to grow revenue and a third wanting to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, there is a clear deficit in delivering cost-effective , high-impact  technologies for the small business  market ,” said Rob Howard, vice president of global sales and marketing for Verio. “The introduction of VerioVelocity quickly changes the small business landscape.”
