Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We've been helping businesses with their
online marketing initiatives since 1998.
What is your primary product or service?
Our core services revolve around
online media planning and buying as well as
search engine marketing (SEM) which includes organic
search engine optimization (SEO) and
pay per click management services (PPC). From
keyword research to

How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
- Experience – We have been focused on delivering measurable Internet marketing results for nearly a decade and we know what works. WebAdvantage.net was honored by Forbes Magazine as a “Best of the Web” selection in the B2B Media & Advertising category. Ms. Thomases, a nationally recognized expert in the field of Internet Marketing, as well as a published author and public speaker, was awarded the "Small Business Person of the Year" in 2007 and in 2008 she was named "Enterprising Woman of the Year" in the "more than $1 million and up to $5 million” category.
- Connections – Our team is well connected in the online media world, which brings amazing opportunities for our clients.
- Customer Service – We’re extremely customer-service oriented. We believe in quick response time, attention to detail, answers to questions (even if we have to go outside our own knowledge base to get it), and plain old-fashioned friendliness and courtesy.
- Fresh Ideas – Our creative ideas make us unique and we share them with our clients. We don’t limit our thinking to the Internet either. If we happen to think of a fantastic idea in general, we won’t hesitate to bring it forth.
- Passion – we love what we do and apply our enthusiasm to each of our client engagements. Now, this may not be a tangible asset and is certainly not an objective one, but we believe our passion makes us stand head and shoulder above most of the Internet marketers out there.
