What Clients Say

"Before working with Jeff at Smart Marketing First, my home inspection business was quiet. My website barely showed up online, and new calls were rare. I knew I had the skills to serve homeowners, but I couldn’t reach the people who needed me.
Jeff completely turned that around. He took the time to understand my business and built a strategy that made my site visible and trustworthy. Almost immediately, I noticed more visitors coming to my website. Soon after, the phone started ringing — not just once in a while, but consistently. Every week brought new clients who had found me online, and my schedule filled faster than I ever imagined.
What stood out most was Jeff’s dedication. He treated my success like it was personal to him, and that kind of commitment is rare. Thanks to his hard work, my business grew, my reputation strengthened, and I finally felt confident knowing my online presence was working for me.
If you want real results — not just clicks, but actual customers — Jeff is the person you need in your corner."

What Clients Say

"Working with Jeff at Smart Marketing First has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our nonprofit. He didn’t just build us a website — he built a platform that truly reflects our mission and connects us with the community we serve. From the ground up, Jeff created a site that was professional, easy to navigate, and designed to attract visitors who care about our cause.
When it came time for our annual Haunted House fundraiser for Mission Hospice Society, Jeff went above and beyond. He promoted the event with creativity and precision, ensuring that word spread far and wide. Attendance and donations exceeded expectations, and the energy around the event was incredible.
But what truly set Jeff apart was his generosity. He didn’t stop at building and promoting — he made a significant donation himself, showing that he genuinely believes in the causes he supports. That act of kindness left a lasting impact on our team and community.
Thanks to Jeff’s hard work and heart, our fundraiser was a success, our nonprofit gained visibility, and our mission grew stronger. He’s not just a digital marketer — he’s a partner who invests in your success."
