Utilizing micro sites to tap local searches

If you're searching for "Lansing Web Design" or "East Lansing Web Design" on Google, Yahoo or Bing then you're likely to come across our new geo-targeted micro sites. The landing pages are highly optimized for recruiting local clients – so optimized, in fact, that the landing pages, along with the Nicholas Creative homepage, are ranked in three of the top 10 listings on several keyword searches.
