Digital Marketing Services
PPC + Organic search = Growth
We drive visitors to our clients’ websites and convert them into clients with a combination of pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, organic content marketing, and elbow grease (technically known as conversion rate optimization).
We act as an extension of your business. With decades of experience managing ad spend, marketing digital content, and designing websites that convert, we’ll take care of your digital presence so you can focus on running your business.
The Gator SEM Approach
When you partner with Gator SEM, you get us and Google

We help brands of all sizes unlock the true potential of their search campaigns. Our portfolio affords us access to an ad specialist at Google who advises us on optimization strategies and lets us know about the latest AI-powered developments coming down the pipeline, straight from the source. So when you partner with Gator SEM, you get us and Google!
Conversion rate optimization is at the core of what we do. It’s one thing to generate high-quality traffic—it’s another to convert. We look to the data to create better user experiences, optimize landing pages, PPC ads and everything in between.
The results? Laser-targeted ads and eye-catching landing pages that yield significant bumps in conversion rates for our clients.

Trusted with over $1M in annual spend
We earn that trust by learning our clients’ business as though it was our own. We know where to invest budget because we know your customers — who they are, what they’re looking for, and where to reach them. We spend your money as though it was our own.
