Because in digital marketing, certifications aren’t just wall decorations, they’re your competitive advantage.
Anyone can claim they know digital marketing. But when you’re investing your hard-earned money, you want to work with people who can prove it. That’s where certifications come in, they’re not just pieces of paper, they’re proof that we know what we’re talking about.
Here’s what our certifications mean for your business, and why they matter more than you might think.
Google Analytics isn’t just about counting website visitors, it’s about understanding what they do when they get there. Our certification means we can dig deep into your data and figure out exactly what’s working and what’s not.
This is huge. You don’t have unlimited marketing budgets, so every dollar needs to count. Our analytics expertise ensures you’re spending money on what actually works.
Google Ads can be a goldmine or a money pit, the difference is knowing what you’re doing. Our certification means we understand the platform inside and out, so your ad spend goes toward leads, not Google’s bank account.
Here’s the real talk: We understand local search patterns, competition levels, and what customers actually search for. Learn more about our PPC services.
Data without insights is just noise. Our advanced analytics certification means we can turn your business data into actionable strategies that actually move the needle.
For small and medium-sized businesses in Cleveland and beyond, this is like having a crystal ball. We can spot opportunities and problems before they become obvious, giving you a serious competitive advantage.
HubSpot isn’t just another marketing tool—it’s a complete growth platform. Our certification means we know how to use it to turn your website into a lead-generating machine.
This is especially powerful for Cleveland and national B2B companies and service businesses. We can set up systems that work even when you’re not, turning your website into a 24/7 sales machine.
Inbound marketing is about attracting customers instead of chasing them. Our certification means we know how to create marketing that people actually want to engage with.
This is about building relationships, not just making sales. We help you become the go-to expert in your industry, so customers come to you when they’re ready to buy.
Look, we could probably do good work without certifications. But here’s why we pursue them anyway:
These certifications teach us how the platforms work and how to make them work for your business. We combine world-class technical knowledge with deep understanding of your industry.
That’s why we can help a manufacturer in Elyria use the same Google Ads platform as a Fortune 500 company, but optimize it for local customers and realistic budgets. Learn more about our Cleveland focus and experience.
We’re constantly pursuing new certifications and staying ahead of the curve. When new opportunities emerge, we’re ready to help you capitalize on them.
Current certifications are just the beginning. We’re always adding to our expertise because your success depends on it.
Certifications are great, but results are better. Let’s talk about how our expertise can help grow your business. Read a recent case study on how a website redesign helped immensely with organic traffic.
We don’t just earn clicks, we earn trust. See what local business owners are saying about working with a digital marketing team that delivers.

I had the pleasure of working with Brett and 216 Marketing while managing an electronics accessories brand for a national telecom distributor. Having partnered with Brett before, I knew I could trust him to deliver results—and he absolutely did. His sound advice, deep expertise in SEO and SEM, and strategic guidance helped us cut through a highly competitive category. Brett’s execution of Google Ads, keyword strategy, and analytics was seamless and impactful, providing immediate lift in traffic, rankings, and—most importantly—conversions. He’s not only highly skilled, but also collaborative and proactive, making it easy to trust his recommendations. 216 Marketing proved to be a key partner in our digital growth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone needing a reliable, ROI-focused digital marketing strategist. His work speaks for itself, and the results we saw in such a short time speak volumes about his capabilities.Posted on Google![]()

I engaged 216 Marketing at the end of 2019 and experienced positive SEO results almost immediately. Brett is awesome. The thing I have appreciated the most is that Brett walked me through why things like a website refresh & domain transfer before the SEO began in earnest were so important - his suggestions and work have been completely on-point and everything is going really well. No drama or pushy customer service - Brett is simply interested in helping you and your business and offers helpful suggestions along the way.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
