This is a small state, but one that is rich in history and significance to American history. It borders Massachusetts to the south, Vermont to the west, Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. It was the first state to declare itself part of the United States when they broke from being British Colonies. Concord is the capital.
New Hampshire's total state product in 2008 was $60 billion. The last century has seen a huge shift in where New Hampshire gets its money. It used to be heavy in textile manufacturing, machine shops, and and shoes. Since globalization has taken effect, many of these manufacturing operations have moved to other countries. Farming has never been big in New Hampshire due to the rocky geography.

- Search Engine Marketing - these are firms that have proven competencies (success stories and case studies) that clearly demonstrate success in the key areas of Organic Search Engine Optimization and Paid Search Management. These are the two primary services which focus on the two sections of every search page... the organic or natural listings and the sponsored listings or advertisements. Look for key online marketing "sub-specialties" such as:
- Social Media Marketing - for instance, the ability to take advantage of MySpace, YouTube et al to promote your business and grow your business through various social / viral marketing techniques.
- Social Bookmarking - the use of these sites to help popularize your website and drive traffic directly to your web pages.
- Content Syndication - the use textual / copy written content syndicated widely throughout the web with direct linking / attachment to relevant content contained within your business website.
- Conversion Optimization - should be the same firm as the Search Engine Marketers. The Search Engine Marketers create visibility so that online searchers will click on your listing because they see you on the top pages for your targeted keywords. However, you also want the Internet Marketing Company to demonstrate expertise / success stories of optimizing the website to "funnel" visitors to a favorable action... the action of conversion, whether it be a purchase of a product, filling out a lead form or a simple phone call or email.
- Management - the expertise of monitoring and measuring statistical information to consistently refine the strategy to further optimize both visibility and conversions.
- Search Engine Copywriting Services - all Search Engine Marketing requires content and plenty of it. Make sure you find sources internally and externally that can generate content for the specific purposes of Search Engine Marketing.
- Ecommerce and Ecommerce SEO - seek companies with demonstrated success stories designing and optimizing ecommerce websites clearly providing the online visitor with a great online shopping experience. In addition, the company should be able to optimize the contents of the online store to optimize the store as well as the entire website.
- Web Programming - many websites / owners require special custom capabilities and applications to improve and enhance the engagement with the website visitor. Seek Internet Marketing Companies with specific expertise in such as areas as Web 2.0 applications, AJAX, CGI / Perl Programming.
From a purely business point of view, seek Internet Marketing Companies that have some "skin in the game." In other words, is their compensation contingent on performance or do they get paid whether they are successful or not? Seek Pay-for-Performance as a key component of your agreement with an Internet Marketing Company.
The Web is still wide open for those who "get it." I suggest you get it! Understand what you want to become, where you want to be 1 year, 3 years, 5 years from now. Have a vision... have a passion. Then plan and partner with the best you can find. As with anything really worthwhile it comes down to commitment and perseverance. It will be done by many thousands and you can be one of them. Make it happen!
