Lorrie Thomas is a strong communicator and an energetic speaker. She possesses a great talent for educating a non-technical audience about potentially complicated, technical topics. She's extremely professional and very easy to work with.

You better be ready to move forward with your plans when you hire Lorrie Thomas. She is a dynamo! At our first meeting she asked me specific questions about my business, how I wanted it to grow and what I wanted it to become. After implementing her initial optimization plans I saw immediate results. Her enthusiasm is genuine and infectious. She is more then just an optimizer, she is a savvy business woman and marketing expert. I have enjoyed working with her immensely. I would highly recommend her.

Any business today that has an internet presence or is buying online advertising media can not afford not to hire a person as dedicated and loyal to her profession and as RESULTS DRIVEN like Lorrie Thomas and her company. We are so lucky to have her working with us. She is a results proven individual, who takes full ownership and responsibility for what she is hired for and can manage and oversee client’s Internet strategy all at once, much like a quarterback does with a football team.
There are a lot of so called "SEO or web marketing experts out there", but in my over decade of experience with dealing with many of the other “experts”, Lorrie Thomas stands head and shoulders above them all, bar none!
Additionally, after she completed the contract for our SEO optimization project, we saw such great results that we have kept her on as our "go-to" person for anything SEO or web marketing related. She is truly a pleasure to work for and a consummate professional.
We are in the Tax Controversy/Resolution business - we are an emergency room with people with tax problems. Lorrie Thomas and her company are the "emergency" room for businesses that want to lower online cost per acquisition, increase lead volume, but more importantly increase lead conversion. I love Lorrie's follow- up and follow through style. Most consultants you are always "chasing" them for one thing or another. With Ms. Thomas, it's just the opposite! She's relentless in her style.
I am very proud to have Lorrie Thomas and her company working with us and would recommend her to anyone who REALLY wants to increase their web presence and generate more money.

We worked with Lorrie Thomas to evaluate and optimize the performance of our website www.livingreen.com. We found it a very informative and valuable experience to work with such a quality professional. Lorrie was engaging, efficient, well-versed in the field, and willing to go the extra mile to help set us up for as much improvement as we could handle. I would happily recommend Lorrie’s services to any business or individual interested in finding out how to maintain a viable presence in the website world.
Ellen Strickland, Owner, Livingreen Store and Gallery
At a critical time for our online business, Lorrie Thomas came in as a consultant and was the primary reason for a fantastic turn around! Not only is she expert in her field and thoroughly versed in all aspects of online business consulting and commerce, she has the best 'people skills' of anyone we have ever worked with. Her on going support, check-ins, and follow through made us feel absolutely secure with all of our decisions. She led us to just the perfect people and places, and exceeded all our expectations from a consultant. Lorrie is fun, inspired, careful, thorough and so personable. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lorrie!

In starting up an e-commerce website, we quickly learned that we knew absolutely nothing about how to market our site, and at the same time realized that effective marketing was crucial to our success. While we had heard many of the buzzwords associated with Internet marketing, the development and implementation of appropriate marketing strategies was not within our skill set. Fortunately Lorrie was recommended to us by a friend. Lorrie brought a breadth of online marketing knowledge and experience to the table, as well as a high level of energy. She not only jumpstarted our online traffic, but us as well. Lorrie doesn’t think in or out of the box, there is no box in Lorrie’s world; the sky is the limit. Her approach is not to “start throwing darts and see which ones stick.” Instead she methodically determines and matches up marketing strategies that will be the most effective for the desired outcome, and at the same time is conscious of any budget constraints. We highly recommend Lorrie to anyone who desires either short term or long term results with their website.

Depth of experience. Professional performance. High-quality communications and interaction. This is what you can expect, and more, when working with Lorrie. She brings a keen business sense to her work, an in-depth knowledge of interactive marketing, and she understands what it takes to take a project from concept to completion.
Keith Butler, Vice-President, Interactive, Evans, Hardy + Young Inc.
I asked Lorrie Thomas to provide a presentation to our sales team during our annual company meetings. The room of about 25 included media salespeople and at all levels of experience, along with members of the IT department and a few other departments who sat in. Some had only sold print. Some were brand new to media in general. Lorrie’s excitement for the medium was contagious. She invigorated & educated our team. Being able to provide real value to both serious geeks and online sales newbies all in the same presentation was a very tall order and she just ...nailed it! I am confident that her presentation will translate into higher sales numbers at our company. Lorrie takes the mystery out of online marketing. I would recommend Lorrie Thomas to any size organization or any company type without hesitation.
Julie Tinney, VP, Sales and Marketing, Wells Publishing, Inc., San Diego, CA
Lorrie Thomas is a marketing diva. All it takes is to spend the first hour with her and you know that you are in good hands. She is sharp, spunky & quick. Her knowledge of the web is vast and her ability to stay on top of the job until its done is unprecedented. She continues to go over and beyond our expectations. We whole heartedly recommend her services to any small business owner that wants to have a web presence.
Erik & Stacy Smith, Points of Health Acupuncture Clinic
Lorrie Thomas spoke to the Association of Women in Communication, Santa Barbara Chapter on the subject of Website Design: Make it Beautiful, Make it Work, Make it Sell. She is knowledgeable and eager to share what she knows with others because she believes in the power of the web to attract customers and compete. In an ambitious presentation, she covered a range of topics from client contracting to branding, and could have provided us with a workshop on each topic. Her personal stories and self-disclosure are appealing to women who wonder how they can build a business with modest capital resources. Sharing stories and giving examples, she inspires confidence in listeners and her lively manner and humor are very engaging. Ms Thomas also works with an associate who is a graphic artist and the audience appreciated hearing about their collaborative process in expanding business for one another. I would recommend Lorrie Thomas highly for conferences and workshops.
Lois Phillips, PhD, President AWC-SB December 2007
My business skyrocketed almost immediately upon hiring Lorrie. For three years, I struggled on my own to figure out how to use the web to promote my business and I wasted thousands of dollars. I truly believe that working with Lorrie has saved me thousands and my revenue this year has increased by 40% over last year (and the year isn't over!!!). In the past five months of working with Lorrie, I have a new state of the art website, one of the most popular law school advice blogs in the nation (which costs me absolutely nothing to run and was all Lorrie's idea), a company managing my PPC campaigns and SEO, and a host of ideas and dreams that I know Lorrie will help me put into place in the coming months. I plan to continue to benefit from Lorrie's expertise as long as I am in business.
Let me also say this - Lorrie is more than an expert. She is a powerful, dynamic, encouraging and positive business leader. She responds to all e-mails and calls immediately (she must work 24-7) and here's the most important thing: She "gets" my business and what I'm all about. Lorrie is also extremely ethical, emphathetic to cost concerns, and truly enjoys her clients. She makes this fun. Thank you so much, Lorrie!!!!
Ann K. Levine, Esq. , Law School Expert and Law School Admissions Blog
You always know you hit a home run with your keynote speaker when the chatter after their talk is about how they are going to run back to their offices and implement the key components of what was talked about. Lorrie hit a grand slam with her Web Marketing presentation to our group, so much so I do not think anyone in attendance has the same web presence as they did the day she spoke. If you haven't booked her yet, do so NOW; your small business will be BIG over night.
Trygve Duryea, Chief Knowledge Officer, THE LEADERSHIP GROUP
Lorrie did a fantastic job with our website redesign project. She guided us in determining the core needs that could be accomplished within our limited budget. Lorrie also helped develop a vision of where the website was headed in the future and to establish a foundation that could accommodate growth with minimal retooling and expenses. Her gift of communication and ability to balance pie in the sky dreams with practical reality is exemplary. Those talents coupled with her energy, drive and commitment make her an asset to any project. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking assistance.
Jason Yee
WFMA President
Lorrie provided excellent project management for our recently developed web based survey tool. From RFP’s to contract negotiation Lorrie exceeded our expectations with professional and timely responses to all our project needs. Lorrie’s access to superior solution providers and her wealth of knowledge in the workings of the web added value at every step in the project. We accomplished our objective on time and within budget all thanks to Lorrie Thomas Web Marketing.

Lorrie, thank you so much for presenting at our seminar last month. All of our attendees raved about how your session, Internet Marketing for Tax Problem Resolution Practitioners, will help bring them more business than they could ever imagine!
Lawrence M. Lawler, CPA, CTRS, National Director, American Society of Tax Problem Solvers
Lorrie has a fantastic blend of real world experience, deep strategic insights, empathy for all the issues facing an early stage start up and most importantly, energy and horsepower to drive results. I recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for a strong partner in the online marketing space.
Jim Morouse, Chief Marketing Officer, bioIQ (a division of Jentryx)
Working with Lorrie Thomas on a search engine optimization project was a very impressive experience. Lorrie is a consummate professional. Her written report and suggestion on our web site and her follow-up was truly outstanding and greatly benefited the non profit organization I represent.
Rabbi Stan Levy, Esq. President, The Academy for Jewish Religion, California.
Lorrie is fantastic at transforming the sometimes confusing and techno-centric concepts of internet marketing into an easy to understand, business oriented marketing strategy. She can guide even the most inexperienced client through the maze of options and help prepare a viable and flexible action plan.
Steve Knaub, Founder and Managing Partner, Three Leaf Cards
Brilliant, creative, practical plus she has a lot of common-sense...these are just a few of the ways I would describe Lorrie Thomas. Lorrie's critiques and comments are the highlight of my program on "Effective Seminar Marketing." Panel discussions, class participation, one-to-one advising, extemporaneous presentations, networking luncheons...she does it all. I recommend her to you without any reservations!
Ralph Elliot, Ph.D., Effective Seminar/Conference Marketing
I had the opportunity to meet Lorrie at the beginning of my Internet career in 1999 as we were both involved in one of the most successful start-ups on the Internet (ValueClick, Inc. now boasts a market cap near $2 billion). I was continuously impressed with the work she performed as an employee of various companies and was ecstatic when she ventured out on her own and was able to provide marketing services to clients of Swell Marketing. Since that time, Swell has utilized Lorrie for a variety of short and long term client projects. I have had nothing but great experiences and am confident in recommending her to clients as well as utilizing her services for Swell Marketing clientele.
Jeff Hirsch, CEO, Swell Marketing, Inc.
Lorrie Thomas Web Marketing has taken my business to a whole new level with the great insight and marketing tools provided to question the message and content of a website. It is one thing to put up a website, but quite another to make it work for you and see your business grow from it. I highly recommend Lorrie and her work for those that want to see real results and improve their marketing message.
Michael Framberger, President, Michael Framberger Seminars, Inc.
Lorrie is a tremendously talented and versatile online marketer. Her customer acquisition skills, in particular, are top notch. Highly recommended.

What sets Lorrie apart from other Internet Marketing consultants is her ability to create and implement various search and affiliate marketing solutions for businesses that have an immediate ROI.
