Philosophy and Approach
Cal and Web Leveling have adopted the motto "Don't be evil" as a guiding principle for their work (since Google decided to leave it by the wayside). They are committed to helping clients achieve what they need for success, even when it doesn't align with initial expectations.
Web Leveling's approach to client relationships is thorough and goal-oriented:
- They begin by understanding each client's specific objectives for digital marketing services.
- They establish analytics for all developed online properties.
- Monthly check-ins ensure that processes align with client needs.
Cal believes that Web Leveling stands out as a digital marketing partner due to their ability to see the bigger picture. Their services can be layered for comprehensive solutions or offered piecemeal to achieve the best results at the right time.
Innovation and Staying Current
To stay at the cutting edge of digital marketing, Cal and his team:
- Attend networking events and conferences
- Continuously research industry authorities
- Employ dedicated staff to monitor emerging trends
However, they also maintain a balance by establishing best practices to ensure that new methods don't replace established ones unless they bring greater value.
