Marty volunteered to build a website and an Adwords account to help them get by. Turns out he had a knack! Their business prospered off of a modest $400 a month on Google.

Marty dove into the world of SEM and quickly became immersed in the field and took on a few more clients who all experienced success with AdWords as well. Quickly Marty realized he needed to bring help on board and started South Bay Search Marketing, LLC.
