GoBeRewarded Marketing Agency relocates to new building with more space in Vista Village area

Web design and advertising agency GoBeRewarded is moving to a new location in the downtown Vista area. In April, GoBeRewarded will move to 249 S. Indiana Avenue , also known as the former Empowered Firearms & Training Building. It is located behind the Vistonian and the New Community Church of Vista and next to Pepper Tree Frosty ice cream and Best Pizza and Brew of Vis ta.

The move comes after outgrowing its existing space along W. Vista Way, close to the Interstate 78 and Emerald Avenue exit. Currently, the agency sits next to the Tri-City Medical Center and Tri-City Veterinary Center along the 78 corridor.

After searching for months and weighing several options, GoBeRewarded CEO and owner Aaron Gobidas chose a new location that is close to our existing one yet now in the heart of Vista. The new space is three times larger than our existing one and will feature private meeting rooms for clients and employees.

Our current space only has one floor which is divided into a studio, conference room, and work area. Now the full-fledged office will feature special spaces devoted to the unique services offered and be readily available for workshops and seminars. The new offices will be more spacious and provide the perfect environment for meeting with clients and local businesses.

Plans to relocate originated when the agency could no longer expand its staffing operations and services. “We have a strategic plan to continuously add to our organization with additional departments and services but right now we just don’t have the space,” said Gobidas. “Now we’ll be able to take clients out to lunch at the restaurants nearby and I think retention for our existing clients will be another differentiating factor.”

The new property is located at a key corner in the Historic Downtown District of Vista, with the Paseo Santa Fe area to the South. There is significant mid-rise residential and mixed-use development planned and in-process along the Paseo Santa Fe area and hundreds of new units are anticipated.

The location will continue to serve as a prime location for clients traveling from north San Diego County and southern San Diego.

“We've been growing quickly over the last few years, so it will be nice to move into a much bigger building, in a better area,” said Lead Web Designer Matt W. "I was one of the first three people hired 5 years ago, so it's really rewarding to see our web design, media, and digital advertising teams expand to the point that we need a new office.”

“As a board member of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, I think it’s only fitting that we be surrounded by other Vista businesses. This is a great opportunity for us to thrive in an environment that contributes to local growth in the downtown area. I see moving as a further investment in the Vista community,” said Gobidas.

This location is within walking distance from downtown Vista and close to several restaurants in Vista Village. It is also still close to several of our existing clients in Carlsbad and Oceanside and minutes away from the 78 corridor.

GoBeRewarded originally started as a text message marketing business by owners Aaron Gobidas and his wife Madeline in 2015 in their one-bedroom apartment. After seven years, it has grown into a multi-department digital marketing and advertising business that serves North County San Diego and beyond.

Why Local SEO is a Game Changer for San Diego Small Businesses

08 May, 2024

In San Diego's bustling markets, small businesses face the constant challenge of standing out in a crowded digital landscape. Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has emerged as a critical strategy for these businesses, transforming how they attract local customers and compete effectively in their regional market. This blog post explores why local SEO is indispensable for San Diego small businesses and how it can dramatically improve their online visibility and foot traffic. The Importance of Local SEO Local SEO enhances a business's visibility in localized search results on Google and other search engines. For small businesses in San Diego, this means appearing in front of potential customers actively searching for products or services they offer in the area. Consider these compelling reasons why local SEO is essential: Targeted Geographic Campaigns: Local SEO allows businesses to target campaigns specifically in the San Diego area, ensuring marketing efforts are focused directly on the most relevant audience. This geographical targeting is more cost-effective and yields higher returns on investment. Increased Web Traffic: Small businesses can dramatically increase their web traffic by optimizing for local search terms and utilizing local business listings. This increased exposure leads to more website visits and potentially, more conversions. Enhanced Online Presence: Businesses can strengthen their online presence through tools like Google My Business, Yelp, and other local directories. Complete and optimized listings improve search rankings and give potential customers easy access to business information, such as hours, location, and services. Competitive Advantage: Many small businesses in San Diego may not yet have fully optimized for local SEO. Adopting these strategies can give your business a significant edge over less digitally savvy competitors. How Local SEO Benefits San Diego Small Businesses Implementing local SEO strategies can reap numerous benefits for a small business. Here’s how it works: Optimizing Google My Business (GMB): One of the most powerful tools for local SEO, GMB allows businesses to manage their online information across Google, including Search and Maps. You enhance your local search rankings and visibility by keeping your GMB information up-to-date and encouraging customers to leave reviews. Using Local Keywords: Incorporating local keywords such as "San Diego bakery" or "IT support in San Diego" into your website’s content helps Google understand where your business is located and what you offer, making it more likely to show your site to users in that area. Building Local Backlinks: Getting links from well-regarded local websites (like local newspapers or business associations) can boost your SEO rankings by proving to search engines that your business is relevant and respected in the local community. Creating Location-Specific Content: Tailoring content to reflect local events, news, or activities can attract local traffic to your website. For example, a blog post about participating in a San Diego community event can resonate well with local audiences. Mobile Optimization: With the increase in mobile searches, having a mobile-optimized website is crucial. Many local searches occur on mobile devices as people look for businesses while on the go in San Diego.
