Getting found by more potential customers
Getting more customers starts with getting seen. When potential customers search online for the products and services you offer, you want your business to show up as the top choice.
That’s exactly where a strong online presence can make all the difference. From your website to search engines and everywhere in between, we help put your business in front of the right people.
“We've seen a noticeable improvement in our online presence and customer engagement since working with them. If you're looking for a marketing company that truly cares about your success, I highly recommend them!”
-Katrina M., Eaton Meat
Alexander Sealcoating & Striping has seen a similar impact, saying:
“We’re already seeing an increase in quality traffic and incoming leads.”
-Kay A., Alexander Sealcoating & Striping Inc.
Other clients have seen the impact of simply being easier to find too. Johnson’s Boats & Motors says Hibu helped put their name “everywhere” and get them to the top of search engines:
“Hibu and my sales rep Don has helped me escalate my sales. I am now top on all search engines. Don came into it saying what items do you need sold by the end of the season, let’s make it happen… and he did by putting our name everywhere.”
-Johnson’s Boats & Motors
On a similar note, Joe W. said after five years with Hibu, one of the biggest differences is knowing the business “exists online and can easily be found.” He continued:
“I have hit monthly and yearly targets that I had never thought possible, if someone searches anything to do with garage flooring in my area, my business pops up. On ChatGPT if you’re looking for information about garage flooring and you’re in my service area, ChatGPT recommends my business and two other businesses to get bids from. That wouldn’t be possible without Hibu. To sum it all up, I was doing okay on my own with Facebook ads and referrals, but Hibu took my small business and made it a real reputable business.”
-Joe W., Joe Walker Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Dry Cleaning
A strong online presence helps make sure your business is there when potential customers are looking.

Generating more leads and calls
While getting found is an important first step, you ultimately want potential customers to take action and become paying customers. That could mean picking up the phone, filling out a form, requesting more information, or booking a job.
With the right digital marketing strategy, our clients have seen more of those opportunities come their way.
“We were skeptical at first, especially about the cost, but Hibu has delivered real results. We’ve seen more calls, quality leads, and booked jobs. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in helping our business grow. We’re very satisfied with our decision to work with Hibu.”
-R. Perez, Arthur Perez Movers
For Jason at Freedom Escrow, the increase in leads has been significant.
“We’ve seen our business leads grow by 200%.”
-Jason W., Freedom Escrow
Those opportunities are showing up for businesses across all different industries. Tyre L. at Loves HVAC said, “Hibu helped increase calls into our business.” And Chase S. at C & R Pools LLC echoed that sentiment saying, “They have helped my business tremendously in gaining leads and traction.”
For Klein Cabinets & Interiors, Hibu helped strengthen multiple parts of their digital marketing:
“They redesigned our website, corrected inaccuracies in our online business information, improved our visibility on Google, and implemented targeted advertising campaigns that have generated quality leads. They also helped us better track online inquiries and phone calls, making lead management and follow-up much more effective. Their proactive communication, regular performance reviews, and strategic recommendations have made a measurable impact on our digital marketing efforts. We highly recommend Patrick and the Hibu team to any business looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and results-driven marketing partner.”
-Scott S., Klein Cabinets & Interiors, Inc.

Turning more opportunities into customers
The real value of a new lead comes when it turns into new business.
For Bard Nurseries, a new Hibu One Smart Site has helped make that happen by giving potential customers a professional place to learn more and get in touch.
“They transformed our website into a very attractive website that is getting a ton of attention. Our contacts from our website have gone through the roof it’s hard to keep up with them. We couldn’t be happier with our service and with the business we are attracting from working with Hibu.”
-Elizabeth B., Bard Nurseries
Jonathan’s Flooring has seen an even more dramatic increase in the number of potential customers reaching out.
“It has been a pleasure working with Hibu. They have helped my company grow. They turned my horrible website into something to actually be proud of. My customer requests have tripled.”
-Sherie C., Jonathan’s Flooring
And for Community Dental of Salem, a comprehensive digital marketing strategy continues to help bring new patients through the door month after month.
“Being a newer dentist in the area, we continue to get new patients every month from Google online and our website. We are very happy with our representative Greg and how he handles everything for us.”
-Glenn, Community Dental of Salem
Whether it’s more website contacts, customer requests, or new patients, these results show just how digital marketing can turn online activity into real opportunities to serve more customers.

Helping businesses grow
Of course, the biggest measure of marketing success is the impact it has on the business as a whole. More visibility, leads, and customers all come together to contribute to something even bigger by helping your business grow.
That’s what James B. at The Gutter Guys has experienced since working with Hibu.
“It has been a pleasure working with [my Hibu rep]. [They have] been extremely helpful and professional the entire time. [They] communicate extremely well and helped me understand what made everything work. I’ve noticed an increase in business since working with [them] and will continue to use [them] and highly recommend [Hibu].”
-James B., The Gutter Guy
