History & Mission Statement

Darrin Ward is a search marketing services and Internet-business strategies consulting firm that was founded in 1999 by Darrin J. Ward, a veteran search engine industry entrepreneur and founder of the leading search-industry website SEO-Chat. The firm’s mission is to help clients reach maximum ROI and revenue levels through organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO), paid Search Engine Marketing (SEM), and general Website functionality & Internet operations consulting.

Our Services

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is the art and science of refining a Website's information architecture, source code and various others parameters so that they are streamlined for both search engines and regular visitors. This streamlining process makes it easier for search engines to "read" websites, which means that they will rank higher for competitive search terms. Additionally, we adopt an aggressive organic link-building program, which further helps search rankings while also delivering qualified traffic from link partners. Darrin Ward has specialized in the SEO industry for over 10 years, and we know how to deliver consistent "white hat" results.

Paid Search Marketing (SEM)

Through Paid-Search Marketing, we know how to deliver highly qualified traffic by identifying targeted search keywords, closely monitoring and managing Pay-Per-Click (PPC) bids, and by optimizing landing-pages. Darrin Ward uses proprietary software to help control campaign spends and PPC bids on a per—keyword basis. This proves ultra-effective in optimizing overall ROI for paid-search marketing campaigns.

Conversion Enhancement & Business Operations Consulting

After more than a decade of experience with Websites and Internet businesses, Darrin Ward has encountered and overcome almost every obstacle imaginable. It is for this reason that we consult on Website accessibility and functionality, which increases conversion rates and Website performance. We also strategize around Internet business operations & logistics, which helps our clients to make sound business decisions in a fast paced Internet world. We help our clients to find creative solutions to all of their technical, e-commerce and business obstacles.

Why Darrin Ward?

We know how to align and integrate with companies, and we have a deep understanding and passion for doing business online. We forge these qualities into all of our services, helping our clients to understand the industry and to formulate strategies specific to their individual requirements. The end result is that our services deliver value by increasing our clients' abilities to outperform their competitors.

Unlike many SEO / Search "consultants" and companies, we do far more than just consult. We actively practice what we preach by developing our own Websites in competitive areas, such as cigars.
