What ASEMC does

Advanced Search Engine Marketing Consultants, LLC (ASEMC) is a privately held, founder-operated internet marketing agency founded by Gene O'Neil in 1998 after a 20-year career in aviation. The firm is headquartered in South Newfane, Vermont, with a second office in Tucson, Arizona, and serves national, regional, and local businesses alongside non-profit organizations across the United States.

The company's core offering is a full-service internet marketing platform that combines organic/natural search optimization, mobile-responsive HTTPS website design, online reputation management, video marketing, internet press releases, business social media, and email newsletters, all anchored by strategic citation building on high-authority websites and 24/7 conversion metric tracking. Proprietary methodology emphasizes organic over paid search to deliver higher inherent ROI, with continuous campaign tuning informed by client-specific traffic and conversion data.

ASEMC generates revenue through subscription/recurring engagements sold directly to clients via phone (802 380 9539) and website contact forms, with pricing provided on a quote basis and tailored to local, regional, or national market scope. The firm operates with a small specialized team (four named professionals covering analysis/strategy, database coding and e-commerce, internet marketing, and PPC/YouTube advertising) and is bootstrapped with no institutional funding, serving a diversified set of named customers across hospitality, retail, travel, healthcare, automotive, and non-profit sectors.
