Terry Samuels – Owner of Salterra Web Design & SEO

Starting with a web design focus, Terry and his partner, Elisabeth, quickly learned that while having an amazing website to highlight your business, marketing is intrinsically foundational for their clients. When several clients were not seeing results through the search efforts of other companies, Terry took it to the next level. While digging into SEO and marketing, he found something he was very passionate about. His inner geek pushed him to focus solely on the data and analytics side of the business while Elisabeth built out the design side. In the industry, it is not always common to have both designers and digital marketing so closely connected, but to them it made sense.
