Online Marketing Shark

Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Online Marketing Shark is a small, veteran-owned marketing company serving business owners in Hampton Roads and other parts of the United States. The agency is run by founder Michael Kuzmiak and works with local businesses across a range of verticals, including personal injury attorneys, restaurants, hair salons, dentist offices, house cleaning companies, and realtors, with a focus on helping owner-operated businesses generate more calls and local leads rather than serving large national accounts. The agency's core offering is local SEO, aimed at improving placement in Google's local search results and Map Pack rankings rather than pursuing national SEO campaigns. Local SEO engagements are structured without long-term contracts, though the agency states that a six-to-nine month commitment is typically needed to produce measurable year-over-year gains in customers, supported by monthly reporting intended to show return on investment. Alongside SEO, the agency offers Facebook advertising and ad management, using pre-built funnel structures adapted to different business types, as well as broader services including general advertising, social media marketing, web development, and business consulting. Additional offerings mentioned include mobile-friendly website fixes, a proprietary software tool referred to as the "Game Changer," and Google virtual tours for realtors and other businesses. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short discovery call to review their business, goals, and marketing needs before any services are proposed.
