Oh, Hi there, I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my profile and contact page today.

I see that you are looking to know a little more about me, well. I am Trevor Gibbs, and I have been specializing in marketing services since 2000. I help businesses, charities, professionals, and solo entrepreneurs to set themselves apart with their effective digital marketing tools, build their relationship marketing strategies or even your own mobile app.

Since then, I have helped large corporations and nonprofits improve their branding and engagement strategies. I am passionate about encouraging local community businesses and charities to thrive and foster greater relationships with their current and future clients as well as donors and supporters. I look forward to helping you to protect and serve your brand.

On the personal side, I originate from Cheltenham Spa in England, where I grew up, studied, and harnessed my most of my skills in various industries. In 2004 after getting married, I moved to Brazil with my wife. We regularly go back there, spending time on vacations, and working from there – well as you know everyone can work from home since the covid era, and virtually everything works online these days.

In 2014 we established ourselves in Orlando, FL, which allowed me to focus the business on helping local charities and businesses by offering various solutions and services to build their relationship marketing strategies.

Some of these services I am sure you have seen on my website if not please look at some of our other pages on this site.

You may ask why I do this, and it all comes down to one of my clients having a legal dispute with their website not being compliant or accessible. Being a non-profit during the Covid era, and with limited income, we supplied a solution that continues to protect them each day and gives them peace of mind they are complaint not only with ADA but with some additional requirements they were not aware of which was a required.

This is when I became an accessibility solutions specialist helping other businesses and nonprofits with similar situations. During the covid era when many people started looking at ways to make money while not at work and found that raising legal disputes against businesses was a way they chose to go. Still, today this litigious trend is overgrowing and puts so many unaware businesses at risk

I realized I had the resources to help and protect small businesses and charities; hence, the Web Detective was born to help serve and protect your brand.

I look forward to connecting with you, and please use one of the contact options on the contact page here on this site.

Please continue enjoying looking around the rest of my site and have great remainder of your day.

Database Marketing

Marketing effectively with data

Database marketing is a strategy that involves using customer and prospect data to drive targeted marketing campaigns. By analyzing and segmenting your customer data, businesses can create personalized marketing messages and offers that are more likely to resonate with their audience. This type of marketing can be highly effective, as it allows businesses to reach their target audience with relevant and personalized messages

The most common type of messages are sent via email, and printed materials. Although open rates can vary and often may not get read at all, the results can still be profitable as you only need a few responders for ROI. This is why it’s the most popular marketing strategy used as the cost per lead is low compared to most digital platforms and advertising.

SMS Reputation

Reputation Management

How important is Reputation Management?

Reputation management is crucial for small businesses as it can significantly impact their success or failure. Before anyone does business with a company or business, they get Google checked first. On average, 8 out of 10 people look at reviews of businesses before engaging or to establish the brand and service reputation

A good reputation helps building trust with customers, which leads to repeat business, positive reviews, and referrals. On the other hand, a negative reputation can deter potential customers and lead to a decrease in sales. Getting a 3-star review can take on average Twenty-Six 5-star reviews to equal that one 3-star review.

With the rise of online review platforms, social media, and other digital channels, small businesses need to actively manage their online reputation. This includes monitoring reviews, responding to feedback, addressing negative comments, and showcasing positive customer experiences. The most dangerous impact that a business owner can have on their business, is to never reply to a given review whether it’s good or bad. Especially bad reviews.

Mobile Marketing

What is SMS Marketing?

Short messaging service SMS also commonly referred to as Text messaging or texting. Many small businesses don’t realize how using a SMS service can work on many levels.

An SMS message has an engagement rate of 45% whereas emails average around 6%, this is why so many businesses are finding ways to engage via SMS to drive conversations and business.

Businesses can use SMS to help boost times in their business when trade is slow with popup sales or discounted products or services Any business being proactive and gathering opt-in cellphone numbers of their clients to subscribe to news and upcoming events, can soon be marketing to hundreds or thousands of people within seconds

Everyone loves a discount and when your store or restaurant has quiet times this is when you can entice people for a limited time offer during that period of the day.

It is important to point out that SMS services do not just allow you to randomly send out unsolicited text messages to everyone’s phone number you have. You must create a subscription opt-in environment, this will allow people to send a stop message when they no longer want your message but also prevent you or your business receiving fines for sending out unsolicited messages.

If you are considering using SMS in your business or have any questions, please reach out to us via our contact page.

Mobile Marketing

Mobile First – what does this mean to you.

You may have heard the term “Mobile First”, and should you be concerned about it or even if your website is mobile friendly?

Well actually you should be, considering that 7 out of 10 people use mobile devices to browse websites and ask search engines to find online content from their mobile device. In 2023, Google also checked websites for being Alexa or Siri compatible, VEO Voice Engine Optimization

The first tip we will tell you is that your website needs to be mobile friendly, this means that the design of your website might look perfect on your desktop but might not be so wonderful on a small screen. To be Mobile Friendly your site will need to render correctly and should be displayed on all sizes of mobile screens.

If you are interested in ranking your website using SEO and indexing terms, generating results that show on the first pages of google searches, you will need to start with your website being designed to be shown on mobile screens. Google indexing starts testing your site as a mobile device first and then will test as a desktop version. Hence mobile first websites.

Take a free test and see how well your site ranks for mobile first. Google has a page that tests the loading speed of each page of your website, so it can be tested for its responsiveness when loading on a mobile device. This would be a great way to make sure your website is ranked and ready for mobile marketing by being a mobile first website.
