Big Fish Local

Please join us in welcoming Jeannie Seery, Big Fish Local’s new Content Marketing Specialist! 🎉

Jeannie joins us as our Content Marketing Specialist, but her story started in a very different place. She spent more than 16 years in human resources and organizational development, where she learned what motivates people, what earns their trust, and what helps them grow. That curiosity about people is something she carries into everything she does.

When she’s not writing, you’ll find Jeannie at home with her husband and three kids or out in the community as a volunteer, mentor, and local leader. She believes strong local connections help both communities and businesses thrive, and we couldn’t agree more.

Paid ads and SEO aren’t competing choices. One puts you in front of customers today, the other keeps them finding you for years to come, and together they build a marketing strategy that lasts.

Here’s how to make short-term visibility and long-term growth work hand in hand:

✅ Use paid ads to reach ready-to-buy customers fast while your organic rankings build
✅ Let ad data reveal which keywords and services bring in your most qualified leads
✅ Turn those high-value searches into helpful service pages, blogs, and FAQs that rank on their own
✅ Keep messaging and landing pages consistent so every channel delivers the same great experience
✅ Track real outcomes like booked appointments and revenue, not just clicks and rankings

Because the goal isn’t choosing between fast results and lasting growth, it’s building a strategy where each one makes the other stronger.
