Stay Ahead of the Competition with OPTIMA™

Marketing for your small business can feel like an uphill battle, especially when you find yourself competing with large corporate chains that seem to have unlimited budgets for promoting their products and services. The unbalanced level of resources with the competition can make it difficult for a small, independent business to cut through the noise and capture the attention of potential customers. This challenge forces small business owners to be more creative, targeted, and efficient with every marketing dollar and hour spent.

OPTIMA™ offers a hassle-free and flexible solution with our “do-it-for-you” reputation management and online visibility programs, designed to make your business stand out in local searches. All of our programs also include a dedicated Account Manager who monitors and manages your business online, allowing you to focus on your everyday business needs.

Extraordinary Results for Local Movie Theater

YES Cinema & Conference Center, an independently run movie theater located in Columbus, IN, partnered with AMP in March of this year. Since then, they have experienced an overwhelming online response, largely thanks to their creativity with one of our Premium OPTIMA™ programs. In a competitive industry dominated by major legacy names who attract customers with minimal effort, this partnership is proving to be a vital asset for YES Cinema. In just 10 months their website has been visited over 50,000 times!

Business owner Randy Allman worked alongside his Account Manager to customize his website to fit the needs of his movie theater before linking it to his Google Business Profile as a primary website. His website has everything local movie fans could want, including a concessions menu and an easy link to movie showtimes that update each week. Since launching his new site with the help from experts at AMP, his business has received over 2,200 direction requests and almost 1,000 calls from moviegoers eager to plan their next visit! Wow!

These are all ingredients for success, allowing for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food to explore every part of what the restaurant has to offer. 

Since partnering with OPTIMA™ just under 11 months ago, El Potrero has received over 4,700 clicks to call and 5,400 direction requests from their Google Business Profile.
