Announcement: Deadline for SSL Certificate July 24 2018

July 12, 2018 By Joe Burnich

A while back I announced that the Google Chrome browser may start throwing up scary messages if you do not have an SSL Certificate installed on your website. Well, another announcement came out saying that the cutoff is July 24th 2018.

If you are a current hosting client of Big West Marketing we will install the SSL certificate at no extra charge.

You will first need to purchase the SSL certificate before hand. We recommend Godaddy: https://www.godaddy.com/web-security/ssl-certificate
We are not 100% sure how this will effect the average small business owner, but I wanted everyone to be aware.

How To Setup The Adwords Competition Blocker… No more burning money!

June 22, 2018 By Joe Burnich

Cut-rate competition…it’s NOT going away…

The other day I was talking to one of our clients about something that really hit home.

He was super excited about how well his new Adwords campaign was cranking out phone calls. His only concern was that his competitors will catch on and start clicking his ads and BURNING his money.

I explained to him that it is true. Jealous competitors have always been an issue when it comes to Pay-per-click advertising… until now!

If you saw my last video I mentioned how we discovered something I call the “Competition Blocker”.

Today I decided to let the “secret” out. This is a MUST for anyone who is paying for Google Adwords or anyone who tried but quit because fake clicks.

In this video I take you Step-by-Step on how to set this up. If it gets too technical let us know, we can help. We are now offering this as a stand alone service. Call 406-493-1881 to book an appointment.
