We know what works right now

You’ll find countless self-styled SEO experts around every digital corner. They all push the same claim: They can put you at the top of Google’s first page. Most of them fall short. We succeed because we understand how SEO constantly evolves. Strategies that worked last week may not get the job done this week. You can’t just write and publish these days. Your content has to be backed up with highly focused, original industry research. Detailed digital PR is just one of many premium services we offer through our internet marketing firm in Santa Cruz.

When you partner with us, you know you’re supported by years of SEO experience. Add to that our talent for creating original content that keeps your brand ahead of the competition. We’re proud to note that our clients have been published on Forbes, Huff Post, USA Today, MSN and CNN as well as multiple industry-specific platforms.

It has been a pleasure working with Bright Valley Marketing. They are industry professionals who know how to optimize and strategize any Adwords account. Their in depth knowledge of Google and SEO has helped us succeed in our marketing efforts. I would highly recommend them for their services.

Daryl Zape
Director of Marketing, Visit Santa Cruz County

Gabby & Co. at Bright Valley Marketing are absolute pros. The project management is exceptional. I've worked with lots of agencies, and you can tell that this is an agency that has been around a long, long time. They know how to manage projects. They know how to treat clients. They know how to do business. And they know how to get things done. Gabby, in particular, is one of those professionals who seems to care deeply about outcomes, and it shows. They also provide tremendous value from a pure ROI standpoint. Especially for smaller operations without many hands on deck, BVM can step in and BE your team. Highly recommended.

Perrin Carrell
Advisor, Playbookz

Our company has worked with Bright Valley Marketing for the last several years and have had an extremely positive experience. The team is dedicated to making sure their clients see results and are very proactive in their approach to ensure success. We have seen a great amount of growth since working with Bright Valley Marketing and would highly recommend them to any company that is looking to grow and reach a larger audience.

Scott Laskey
Founder, Sandbar Solar & Electric

Gabby and the Bright Valley team have been amazing to work with. She and I have worked on several clients' marketing programs over the last 3+ years. Plus, I had their team work on my own marketing company's website back end too.Their level of attention to detail is refreshing and the results they produce are precisely what any small business owner is looking for. Priced perfectly, they should be your first call because there just aren't that many responsive SEO/website professionals out there that actually listen to their clients these days. Thank you Gabby for helping make my clients' and my business succeed in marketing to our target customers!

Bryce Root
Founder, Root Group Marketing

I had the opportunity to work with Gabby at Bright Valley Marketing several times. SEO is such a quickly growing/changing field that keeping up with it is near-impossible. And that's exactly what Gabby and her team can do! They are 100% current, bringing you real results that will drive more business to you. Their research process and their SEO strategy creation and implementation is not only always on time it's also incredibly effective. They increased my clients' search ranking significantly within a very short time every time I worked with them. I highly recommend working with Bright Valley!

Judith Wellner

We’ve been working with Gabby at Bright Valley Marketing for a number of years for SEO, digital PR and content marketing. We have been pleased with the efforts of Gabby and her team, and have seen steady and measurable results and growth across the board. Our website ranking has improved markedly, we’ve seen increased traffic and we recently ran a very successful digital PR campaign that was picked up by a number of national news outlets. Gabby sends monthly reports that show detailed analytics and performance data, which is extremely helpful and insightful. We highly recommend Gabby and her team!

Lauren Hitchcock
Marketing Director, Hitchcock Farms

Gabby and her team were fast, flexible, creative, and on budget. We've worked with other web developers in the past and this experience was so head and shoulders above and beyond the norm, it really impressed us.

Dave Grigsby
Owner, Kayak Connection

Our company consistently comes up as a top recommendation and is cited by AI apps, and I've been fortunate to have Gabby's support for many years. The ROI has been nothing short of astronomical. When I first started working with Gabby, we were doing about $2.5 million a year in sales. Since then, we've grown by roughly 20% year after year — and that's without an outbound sales function. All of our growth has come through Bright Valley Marketing, and the phone rings all day, every day.

Zach Smith
President, Smith's Pest Management

Gabby and Bright Valley have been providing support for our company for a few years. They have consistently delivered on every project and achieved results. Five stars!
