I had a website that did not rank in google at all. I never received any phone calls from new customers. Since Dave took over my site, I have steadily ranked on the first page when searched under Frederick Maryland printers. This has increased my new customer calls from zero to at least one a day. At this rate, I will quadruple my sales this year.

A Frederick Moving Company would be smart to include a Mission Statement like this one I found from a high traffic moving company site that specializes in another state:
Our Mission Statement

Provide a great work environment and treat each other with respect and dignity.
Embrace diversity as an essential component of the way we do business.
Ensure that our customers are getting excellent value for their relocation—whether it’s a basic move or full service and ensure that Shleppers does not compete on price with companies that offer inferior service and value to customers.
Conduct our business with the highest moral and ethical standards.
Contribute positively to our community and our environment.
Recognize that profitability is essential to our future success
