Rob Croll, Founder

Robert Croll is the owner and lead consultant of Marlannah Group Internet Marketing.

I started Marlannah Group because I truly believe that the evolution of technology and the Internet have created an incredible opportunity for small businesses today. With the right strategies and tactics in place, even the smallest business can reach customers across the country or across the globe. Over the past several years, Internet marketing has proven to also be an effective means to reach local customers, making it a valuable tool that should be in the arsenal of nearly every small business.

But many of the concepts are new to business owners, the tactics often require a thorough understanding to be effective, and the market is full of less-than-scrupulous players. Most small business owners don't get enough sleep as it is without spending the time trying to design a comprehensive Internet marketing plan too. 

And that's where we come in. My team of talented partners and I have the knowledge and the tools that your business needs to succeed online. We're small business owners too, so we understand that your budget probably isn't as big as you'd like and that your experience with Internet marketing is limited (or has even perhaps been negative). We can help you understand what's possible, devise a plan that works for your business, and implement the tactics necessary to help you build the business you want. 

In addition to being an Internet marketing consultant, I'm also an experienced teacher, presenter and writer. You can read some of my published articles online, and also get real, practical online marketing tips at the Small Business Internet Marketing blog. (Don't forget to sign up for the RSS feed to get the latest tips.)

I have over twenty years of business and marketing experience, and I welcome the opportunity to work with you to build and implement a plan for capitalizing on one of the most effective mediums for bringing in new customers -- the Internet.

My core philosophy, and that which guides every action taken by Marlannah Group is:

Respect
Every client deserves to be treated in an honest and respectful fashion. While the idiom that the client is always right is sometimes wrong, we will always strive to exceed clients' expectations. (And if we think there's a better solution than what you have in mind, we'll tell you.)

Increasing Awareness
The Internet is a vast and often confusing place, particularly for small business owners whose time and energy is devoted to running their own businesses. It is our responsibility to identify the appropriate options that will enable our clients' businesses to grow, to help them understand what we're suggesting (and why), and to show them the potential benefits.

Just Say No
If we don't think we can do it -- either because we don't have the expertise or the time -- we'll say so. If we can, we'll gladly provide a referral to another qualified provider.

Stand Apart
Attention to detail and personal service are the hallmarks of our organization, and we work hard to be the 'trusted expert' our clients turn to when they need Internet marketing advice.
