VR Metro

Based out of Canton, Michigan, VR Metro is a small internet marketing and web development firm founded in 1997, giving it a long-standing presence in the web hosting and site management space. The team works with a mix of clients ranging from home-based businesses to international manufacturing firms, including sectors such as behavioral health, wood door manufacturing, laundry services, and industrial products. Its small size (1-10 staff) allows for a personal approach, with quotes handled through direct calls to discuss a client's business before a program is proposed. The agency's declared services span SEO, e-commerce development, IT managed services, social media marketing, web design, web development, and pay-per-click advertising. Web design work covers both new builds and site rebuilds, with each project passing through pre-launch checks and SEO adjustments, and sites made responsive for mobile. Web hosting includes management of VR Metro's own network along with value-added services such as security and version updates for WordPress installations. On the marketing side, work includes search engine keyword targeting, pay-per-click campaigns, banner advertising, and SEO tailored to vertical markets, alongside social media channel management for clients lacking in-house resources. The company notes experience with both legacy programming, such as Perl-based e-commerce sites, and newer technology builds, including Roku streaming channel development.
