Blackwood Industries

Based in San Diego, California, Blackwood Industries works with local and small-to-medium businesses across verticals such as commercial franchises, plastic and medical surgery practices, and living trust attorneys. Founded in 2008, the agency operates with a small team led by President & CEO Michael Luevano, alongside an account manager, a lead web developer, and a content specialist. Work is structured around helping local businesses improve online visibility and convert searches into customer inquiries. Services are organized around what the agency calls Strategic Internet Marketing (S.I.M.), which combines business listing consistency across platforms like Google, Yelp, and Yahoo, Google My Business and local geo-ranking management, keyword-focused blogging and outlet submissions, social reputation management across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, and video blog marketing on channels such as YouTube and Vimeo. On the branding side, the agency offers Strategic Internet Branding (S.I.B.), covering logo creation, slogan and brand awareness development, and sales-driven copywriting. Additional offerings include mobile-enhanced web design, social media development, and mobile apps for small and medium-sized businesses. Services can be purchased as a full package or selected à la carte, allowing clients to engage the agency for a single area such as Google local optimization or web design rather than the entire suite.
