Our Marketing Concept

When we were planning to start our business and were thinking about a name, we knew we had to choose something meaningful, something that represented us. We chose the name Confluence with great care. This name represents our business strategy very aptly.

What does confluence mean?

It represents a place where several different rivers meet, merge, and flow on with a new identity. That’s what our marketing strategy is. We’ve coined the word solomoco to represent this union of social, local, mobile, and Commerce. These aspects come together to bring traffic and revenue to your business. At Confluence Local Marketing, we use proven techniques, thorough research, and in-depth industry knowledge to provide cost-effective and measurable results.

Our comprehensive local SEO services include optimizing and verifying your Google Maps page with high-quality photos, engaging videos, and detailed descriptions to help your business stand out.

With tools like Google Search Console and Ahrefs, we provide the insights and adjustments needed to keep your site healthy and authoritative.
