Jill was recommended to me by my small business coach/mentor. It was very clear that I had no idea what I was doing with LinkedIn which made me question its value. After working with Jill, I had a very clear understanding of why investing in my personal profile as well as the profile for my company was important. I was very impressed with the methods used to gather information and turn it into LinkedIn assets and content. I had a lot more information rolling around in my head than I thought! With that information, Jill developed an incredible strategy, executed her parts and gave me my to-do list. The result was more than I could have hoped for. I now have profiles I can be proud of and a schedule for maintaining them. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough – she is not only a LinkedIn expert, she is incredibly nice person that makes getting great results fun.

Pete Filicetti, Kingsman Technology

Jill did a fantabulous job in developing my digital media marketing strategy! Jill was timely and thorough. She even provided suggestions for timing of each social media type, and she also provided ways to measure success for each. In addition to the strategy itself, the timing and success measures will definitely help me execute in the digital media world.

Kim Farrington, KTech

Jill is the ultimate professional. She is extremely detail oriented and employs strategies to keep her clients on track with their projects. She really takes the time to understand you, your business, and your goals. I highly recommend Jill and her team!

Kerry Thomas, Conquer the Chaos

One word, efficient! Jill did a great job polishing our existing website. She listened to our desired changes/improvements and immediately got to work. She made great suggestions for further improvements. Jill will be our go to for website help.

Renea Burkholder, StraitSys

Jill worked wonders with my online presence. She has taken what I consider to be a complex set of topics and made it understandable. She has really good sense. I am so appreciative to have such a great resource so close by.

Barbara Mikula, Mikula Acupuncture

For the rollout of my author’s website and social presence, I wanted a professional image. KDS delivered perfectly, from design to cross-implementation to ongoing support. When writer friends jokingly teased me that I probably needed to up my writing skills to match the quality of my website, I knew I had chosen the right company for my business.

Donald Furrow-Scott, Sahhaar Publishing

Kurtz Digital Strategy was instrumental to organizing our online marketing efforts. Jill expertly analyzed our needs, most of which we didn’t even know we needed, and developed a simple strategy that we could actually implement. As a startup, we were constantly learning and evolving; however, Jill’s patient guidance kept us focused on the implementation of our strategy to maximize our limited resources. We can’t say enough about how great it’s been working with Jill and I’d recommend her services to anyone looking to grow their business.

Charles Kachadoorian, President, Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe

Jill crafted an online presence for my business that now draws my ideal clients to my website. She pulled together all the loose strings of my web presence including my website, blog, social and business channels, etc., and wrote consistent messaging to make my business visible everywhere. Her detailed research and implementation plan will benefit me for years to come, and I highly recommend her!

Jill has an ease about her that makes you feel that the hardest of obstacles are simply part of her day to day routine; she was calm under pressure when often times I was frazzled.

Jill Kurtz did an awesome job redesigning my website. Jill’s step-by-step design and development approach made it easy to bundle my professional services into a cleaner new website look!

Basil Soutos, Samos Advisors LLC

Jill Kurtz has been a pleasure to work with. From the first point-of-contact, she took the time to get to know our business and our specific needs. In one phone call, she was able to identify what mattered to us as people and professionals and put together a comprehensive program and approach to improve our online presence. She saw the gaps in our existing approach immediately and had a detailed plan for how to make changes. She identified priorities, so it never seemed overwhelming. She walked with us step-by-step to ensure results. Given the demands of our business, we were challenged with our availability for Jill. She was persistent, but patient, and always willing to step up to help or adjust expectations as we moved forward. In addition to all of her exemplary professional work, she was fun, light-hearted and understanding. I have already referred her to other business professionals and would proudly continue to do so. She is top-notch and a pleasure to work with!

During the process, she was immediately responsive to our questions and changes. She explained things in a way we could understand.

James Gross, Thyden Gross and Callahan, LLP

When my new business, Transitions with Care, needed a website, I called on Jill Kurtz. I had heard her speak at Chamber of Commerce events and knew she would understand what I was trying to achieve. She knew just where to put the right text, which kinds of photos we needed etc. Not only is she fun to work with, but she really knows her business!

Marilyn Naylor, Transitions with Care

Jill Kurtz was a huge help in getting several of my articles on teaching science totally online published in key online publications. I really enjoy her monthly newsletters, they are chock full of timely advice. Jill really knows how to market in the digital age. I am planning on developing a new website. You better believe I am going to use Kurtz Digital Strategy to enhance my strategies, techniques and special tactics for search engine optimization!

Dr. James Brown, “The Godfather of Online Science”

What I like best about working with Jill is the way she drives a project from start to finish. Not only does she do excellent work but she also takes responsibility for completing the work on time and on budget. She is on top of the details and keeps everyone else on track too. It is a true pleasure to work with her.

Judy Schramm, JMR Consulting

Kurtz Digital Strategy gave our company website a facelift. Our site was beginning to show its age. It was hard to maintain and looked old-fashioned. We are so pleased with our new site–it is modern, streamlined, and easy to navigate. Jill also taught me how to make periodic updates to our site so I can put up new pictures or projects and put up or take down staff bios, etc. as the make-up of our company changes and grows. Having a new website creates a sense of pride with our team! We are grateful to have found Kurtz Digital Strategy and would recommend them to other businesses in need of a website or a website re-design.

Christina Eppink, Enegis

I am so happy I began working with Kurtz Digital Strategy. Jill is well versed in how on line marketing works thus presenting a strategy that is formed around you and your business. When I first met with Jill, my design company was 3 years old, I was networking a lot and received word of mouth referrals, but no one ever visited my website or found me on Google, Houzz or the many other online directories.

In less than a year, I’ve received at least half a dozen clients through online directories, and at least a dozen inquiries! Did I mention that all of these inquiries happened after I moved from Virginia to Texas?! I kept my business in running in Va and expanded to Texas.

I also rely on Jill to do the editing and publishing for my newsletter and blogs, refreshing content on Houzz and my website. She even got my MailChimp in order! I highly recommend her if you want to double, no triple your business!

Dinna Eckstein, Audrey Kate Design Solutions

I am so thankful that I found Kurtz Digital Strategy! Jill is phenomenal, after a few short months of her working on our shops website and SEO, we are seeing results. I am delighted to hear my new customers share that they found us online! Next up is social media, can’t wait to see the results! What’s really great is that Jill takes the time to explain and help you prioritize what needs to be done. Thank you Kurtz Digital!

Linda Parrish, Dulles South Chantilly Automotive

As the owner of the Platinum Group Real Estate team I understand the importance of a strong online presence, but where to begin! It is overwhelming, stressful and time consuming to figure out … then we met Jill! I learned more from her in our first meeting than I had in years of trying to figure things out on my own. She explains things simply and in an easy to understand manner. Very quickly she identified our needs, and then worked with us to select that which was most important for us to focus on within our budget. We’ve been extremely happy with the results, and know that we will return to Jill and Kurtz Digital Strategy again and again.

Karen Cooper, Platinum Group Real Estate

Jill is organized, thorough, knowledgeable and delivers a valuable service. She is proactive in maintaining the progress of the tasks at hand, encouraging but not annoying. She communicates effectively, both orally and in writing. She presents options and explains services and costs before she begins work. Jill believes in her product and its benefits. She listens well and takes the time to understand what her client wants and the pace and order in which he wants it.

Kevin O'Neil, Retirement Planning Guru

Jill is amazing. I have worked with her for many years, and she has kept me impressed for the duration. She is a master at juggling multiple projects, and making every single client that she works with feel like they are her top priority.

Chrissy Rey, Pongos Interactive

Jill has played an integral part in helping SMR to shape our social media presence. She initially prepared a solid plan for us tailored to our unique niche market, and remains a constant source of insight and support as we continue implementation of the program.

Joanne Pollock, SMR

Jill’s brain thinks in methodical steps… something that can often be lacking in a creative agency that thinks in twelve different directions at once. Being able to have her “herd the cats” and write out a digital process to bring consistency to our execution has been invaluable.

Jen Sterling, Red Thinking

My relationship with Jill Kurtz is one of my most valuable assets. As an editor, she polishes and transforms my writing into a finished product that makes me proud. She is a creative and inspirational coach who keeps me on task and helps me refine my vision. I give her my highest recommendation.

Kurtz Digital Strategy was a great help in converting complex ideas and situations into quickly digestible copy for our new website. They provided helpful information on related issues like optimizing text for SEO, and advised on the pros and cons of all of the decisions made along the way. Our site has gained much needed visibility with search engines which will lead to getting more qualified sales leads through the new site.

Andy Livingston, Synagro

Jill Kurtz has done a fantastic job from start to finish in recreating the website for my business, Pack Rat Hauling. She is very detail oriented and is great at prioritizing based on the customer’s needs. I would not hesitate to refer her to other business professionals and will certainly be using her myself as the needs arise in the future.

Michael Scott, Pack Rat Hauling

Jill is very easy to work with, and time & time again turned things around on a dime. She has been candid & frank about the best ways to do things and what not to do. And I really appreciate that.

Jill has that truly rare hybrid skill set of understanding technology AND being able to explain, in laymen’s terms what’s happening, so she can effectively manage the process for you. I can’t sing her praises high enough.

Samantha Villegas, APR, SaviPR

The job was to put together a marketing and social media strategy and program. Jill put together a very complete plan with components that included not only traditional ones (print media, Facebook, etc.) but also some new ideas that we think will bear fruit in the coming years.

Bob Schmitt, Trucklogger

If Jill has time for your project or can take you on as a client – grab her! You won’t find a more client service-oriented, talented, button-down, person to work collaboratively with you on website design, content, or a social media strategy. She’s deeply knowledgeable, very approachable, thoughtful, and always a pleasure to work with.
