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 Vista. 


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.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is often talked about as one thing, but it actually includes several different types of work. Two of the most important are on-page SEO and off-page SEO . Both influence how your website performs in search results, but they focus on different parts of your online presence. What Is On-Page SEO? On-page SEO refers to everything you optimize directly on your website to help search engines understand your content.  This includes things like: Page titles and meta descriptions Headings and page structure Keyword usage in the content Internal linking between pages Image optimization and site speed The goal of on-page SEO is to make your website clear, organized, and easy for search engines to understand. What Is Off-Page SEO? Off-page SEO refers to signals that happen outside of your website but still influence how search engines evaluate it. The most common example is backlinks , which are links from other websites pointing to yours. When reputable websites link to your business, search engines see that as a sign of credibility. Off-page SEO can include: Backlinks from other websites Business directory listings Local citations Online mentions of your business Why Both Matter A well-optimized website is important, but it is only part of the picture. Search engines also look for signals that your business is trusted and referenced elsewhere online. Strong SEO typically comes from a combination of both a well-structured website and credible external signals.

Most business owners only hear about DNS when something stops working. It sounds technical, but the concept is actually straightforward and extremely important to understand. DNS is the system that tells the internet where your website, email, and other services live. More importantly, whoever controls your DNS effectively controls access to your online presence. That is why every business owner should make sure they own their domain and have access to their DNS settings. What DNS Is DNS stands for Domain Name System. Think of it as the internet’s phonebook. When someone types your website address into a browser, like www.yourbusiness.com , DNS translates that domain name into the numerical IP address where your website is hosted. Once the correct server is found, the website loads. Without DNS, people would have to type long strings of numbers instead of simple domain names. What DNS Controls DNS does more than just point visitors to your website. It also directs other critical services connected to your domain, including: Your website hosting Your business email Subdomains like blog.yourbusiness.com Verification records used by tools like Google or Microsoft In short, DNS acts as the traffic controller for many parts of your digital infrastructure. Why Business Owners Should Care One of the most common problems businesses run into is losing access to their domain or DNS because it was registered under a developer, agency, or former employee. When that happens, you may not be able to: Move your website to a new provider Change email services Connect marketing tools Fix website or email issues Your domain and DNS act as the gateway to your entire digital presence. If you do not control them, someone else does. What Every Business Should Do Every business owner should make sure of three things: Your business owns the domain name You know where it is registered and have login access You can access the DNS settings if needed Even if a developer or marketing agency manages things for you, the account should always belong to the business.
