Brian did an amazing job fixing SEO issues with our website. He was prompt at completing the work and even followed up with added input to improve our site. Very happy with the services at Think Big Go Local. Loved the Social Media Bootcamp classes - Bobbi and Brian do a great job teaching and motivating you to take your business to the next level!
Wow Bobbi provides awesome insights on how to leverage the power of the Internet to grow your business. Her classes are very informative and educational. I have learned so much.
TBGL does our Social Media and I have received numerous compliments on the content that is being posted. Very glad we choose to use them!!
Bobbi was very helpful in giving us many options to optimize our social media platforms. I look forward to working with her in the future and taking advantage of the many classes that she offers.
Bobbi has been a huge help to me in trying to decide what I need to do marketing wise for a business that I'm in the process of launching. I would highly recommend her and Think Big Go Local for their marketing and social media expertise!
It was a pleasure to collaborate on a new website. Brian made it very easy from the proposal to the finished product. He would put out a template and then I would tweek it... that went back and forth until I was happy. I appreciated when we could converse back and forth through email; but when we need to have a phone call to really dial it in, he made himself available. I am very satisfied with the finished product.
I am continually amazed by the knowledge and professionalism from Bobbi and staff at Think Big Go Local. Not only do they take care of all your digital marketing needs from websites to SEO to social media to online reputation management, but they give away so much information. The classes offered, such as Social Media Boot Camp and LinkedIn Power Course, teach a business owner how to do things on their own. The information that is given in their variety of classes will help get your business noticed. I would highly recommend Think Big Go Local above anyone else!

We hired TBGL to design our website. Brian was so easy to work with and very responsive. He did an amazing job and went above and beyond to help us navigate through the process. Couldn't be more happy. Thank you for everything and we will definitely be using your services again.
Brian and Bobbi are extremely helpful and patient. It is very apparent Brian loves what he does and is very knowledgeable. The best part is he is very patient with those who are not as technology savvy as he is. I called with a formatting question and Brian walked me right through it and provided links needed to finish the task. I highly recommend working with them.
Brian Rugg is an amazing web designer. He has a great personality, insight and knowledge into how to make your website greet those revising your offerings.

His web designs are impeccable and he has this knack of getting to the core of what your offerings are, who your customer target is, and how best to convey your message. Brian truly takes your website ideas and flourishes them into dreams, designs and details that even you could not imagine. Brian is a five star web designer. Use his services. Prepare to be impressed.
Absolutely top of the line knowledge, talent and customer service! Brian Rugg is a tech wizard and wonderful to work with. I had an old site that was hosted elsewhere and got into trouble so I called to hire TBGL to help me get out of trouble - FIXED IT!!!! Yes - I'm moving that site to TBGL as soon as I can untie myself from the current situation. Love your work Brian! Thank you!!! Hire these guys - you will not regret it!
After retiring from Sales/Marketing for over 30 years and starting my new business, I knew how important it was to have a website that would represent the quality of products and services for my customers! Think Big Go Local exceeded my needs far beyond my expectations! Brian was so great to work with in the design of my website from out of state and and intricately captured the idea of infusing the West and Alien theme for my new tactical laser tag business in Roswell, NM. Check it out for yourself! Area52Roswellnm.com It was the best money spent! Thanks Brian! You Rock!
I have had the opportunity, and pleasure, of working with both Bobbi Baehne and Brian Rugg of Think Big Go Local. They are both amazing at their jobs and very professional! Bobbi has an incredible knowledge base and I highly recommend her Social Media Boot Camp Classes. Not only did I learn a great deal, but I was able to successfully implement much of what I learned and our business continues to grow because of my time and investment.
Brian is incredibly talented, informed and wise when it comes to building or updating a website. He has a great deal of insight as to what is the most beneficial and/or necessary for staying up-to-date in this ever (and fast) changing internet world. He is very efficient and timely in his work and his response time.
Both Bobbi and Brian are top notch professionals who I can eagerly and confidently recommend when the opportunity arises! Much appreciation and thanks to Bobbi and Brian!

Bobbi, I just finished the free webinar on "12 Surefire Ways to Protect Your Reputation Webinar" and I will be signing up for the next ones. The presentation by Torrey Gage was informative and well done. . . Ironically, I had a webinar this morning with my manufacturer, where the speaker read the slides to me, I was having difficulty focusing. This was engaging and....That's it! You and Mike are sitting down next week to go over our strategies, there is simply so much more that we should be doing.
One strategy that I will definitely implement is a personal hand written note, I write thank you letters all the time, but never considered it in a business setting.
Way to go!!!
Just had a great presentation regarding Google profiles with our members at today's Lunch Lesson. Brian Rugg is a very knowledgeable presenter and all of our guests left better informed!
We hired Think Big Go Local to help us with our website and they did a terrific job! Brian Rugg went above and beyond. Thanks!
Bobbi is very professional, and good at what she does. Our followers have tripled in just 3 months and are daily content is more engaging.
Brian is Outstanding. I highly recommend working with Brian Rugg to develop your website and Bobbi Baehne to set up your social media presence. A few years ago the Illinois Small Business Center recommended that I talk with Think Big Go Local about my marketing and website creation. Brian was Fantastic to work with. I knew what I wanted my new website to feel like, and Brian was able to take my limited information and create a personalized website that I loved. Brian worked patiently with me to build my website, and, when it was done, taught me the basics of how to make my own changes. Recently I had some questions about the website and Brian made me feel like he had all the time in the world just for me. Brian s knowledge, creativity, patience, ability to turn my vague idea into a beautiful website just outstanding. As Brian was creating my website, Bobbi was linking my FaceBook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc together so they would have a cohesive feel. Bobbi coached me how to set up a schedule to make best use of the social media. And it was her creative help that aided me in finding a name for my business. Both Bobbi and Brian at Think Big Go Local were a joy to work with, and I highly recommend them.
Think Big Go Local recently created a Messenger Bot for my law practice and it has been the best investment yet. Specifically, Think Big Go Local created a QR code for my direct marketing letters that potential clients receive in the mail. The QR code allows potential clients to instantly scan the code and connect with me directly thru my Facebook Business page.
The messenger bot allows both new and current clients to interact with my business, getting answers to theirs question, all the while I am busy in court. The messenger bot has increased my sales and allowed me to gain new clients each and every month. If you aren't using a messenger bot to grow your business, I highly recommend it and the services at Think Big Go Local. This is a 5 star quality company!!!!
I attended the Social Media Boot Camp this past week. I learned so much and am ready to take my business to the next level. Thank you Bobbi and Brian!
Bobbi is very knowledgeable, responsive and helped me fix an issue in no time. I highly recommend her and her business services.
I have worked with Bobbi several times. She never fails to impress me with her knowledge and ability to help me navigate the fast-paced ever-changing world of social media and how it affects my business. Thanks Bobbi.
We've used Think Big Go Local to create our company website. They created an excellent product and were wonderful to work with. We had very specific design needs to which they were accommodating. TBGL is very professional and skilled. We would use them again!
Bobbi and Brian were full of knowledge. The Social Media Boot Camp was great. I have learned a lot and have been able to apply it to our business.
Always helpful and a super fun bunch of people. Their only goal is to help you succeed.
We hired them to promote our DamYak challenge and let me tell you..it was the best decision ever! Last year we had this event and handled the social media ourselves...big mistake!! This year we handed the marketing over to them and we 3 times the participants then last year! I strongly recommend them for any marketing you need! Thank you Jenna!
Excellent customer service and great attention to detail. Way more then I ever could have asked for. I highly recommend 10 out of 10!!
I have learned so much with talking, taking classes and following their social media platforms (they're on everything, and keep it updated!). Bobbi and Brian are both extremely knowledgeable about all thinking marketing and it helps others like myself who want to learn and apply these skills to their business lives. I highly recommend people looking to grow their business to take time to meet with them. Thanks for making things fun and interesting :)
Great service from Brian! He really helped me with my website, then explained the process to me so I could maintain it myself. Thank you Brian!
Brian and TBGL redesigned my website and implemented SEO. I am thrilled with the results. I got more contacts from potential clients within a couple of months of launching the redesigned site than I had in the past year using a website designed by a large national firm. I went from virtually no presence on organic searches to being on the first page. Brian has also been very responsive to my questions and requests for minor changes and tweaks. I highly recommend TBGL for website design.
They went out of their way to understand the purpose of the business. By looking at the reasons why the business was originated as well as the importance of the services we provide, they created a top-notch website with excellent concepts and ideas! I love it!
Bobbi Baehne has volunteered to helped our tech night learn about reputation management. She is a profound speaker, and we are thankful to have her. Bobbi has impressed all the small businesses that have attended her boot camp classes on social media .It is nice to have a company help the local small businesses.
Think Big Go Local I would recommend highly. They are constant professionals who got the job done on time and were very thorough in the process even with us being a little different from what they are used to. Brian Rugg was great to work with and I will use them in the future.
Recently attended an advanced Facebook training with Bobbi Baehne from Think Big Go Local Inc. As a long time user of social media I was thrilled to learn so many new features, strategies and specific how-to's for using Facebook more effectively for my business. I can't wait to implement more of what I learned.The class was well organized, provided for lots of opportunities for getting all my questions asked and I found Bobbi to be a VERY knowledgeable instructor.
I have also heard Bobbi speak about reputation management and social media marketing on several occasions. She is a very professional and knowledgeable speaker. Her presentations are engaging, relevant, and filled with great takeaways. I enjoy the way she uses stories to help the audience really understand the information shared. Thanks, Bobbi, for sharing such useful information for small business owners!
Love the range of products and services, Great Customer Service!
Brian Rugg's training classes at TBGL are always so fun, informative and are definitely helping our organization!
They know their stuff! The are on top of social media and have helped us understand how to use it more effectively. Thanks Bobbie & Brian!
While the highly regulated nature of my financial services business restricts our ability to work directly with Bobbi and Brian -- I highly recommend their digital marketing expertise. I've benefited from consultative conversations with both Bobbi and Brian, helping me to formulate and focus our digital marketing efforts. 10/10!
We can't say enough about Brian and the team at Think Big Go Local, Inc. Not only did they build us a beautiful website, they worked with us to create an e-commerce portal to allow our customers to view and shop our work all from the safety and convenience of their homes and phones AND had it up and running for Mother's Day Sales which is our biggest time of the year. I would highly recommend them for all your Web and Social Media Needs.
Wonderful experience with TBGL! Both Brian and Bobbi went above and beyond. Highly recommend!
Great seminar today on setting up Google My Business profile!
