Chad Nelson, Owner
- Welcome: Champion Online Marketing was built around one goal: helping service businesses get clear, measurable results from their online marketing. Founder Chad Nelson, a U.C. Davis graduate with a degree in Managerial Economics, built and marketed his own businesses before helping clients with SEO, messaging, paid advertising, and lead generation. Since 2011, Champion Online Marketing has helped local businesses improve visibility, earn trust, and grow with a more focused strategy.

Our Approach
Our approach is simple. We use the following process in everything we do:
Online Reputation Presentation
Evaluate – Strategize – Implement – Measure – Improve
The first step in our process is to get an Online Marketing Intake Form completed with the client. This allows us to understand your business, target market, goals and opportunities to explode your revenue. After carefully analyzing the information we provide a customized plan for success and then get right to work implementing that plan. This is not a set and forget plan, we monitor the progress and then make changes accordingly to maximize the results.

In addition to client-facing work, we continue to improve the systems, tracking, and workflows behind our marketing strategy. The goal is simple: help business owners understand where leads are coming from, which channels are working, and what should be improved next.
Core services include SEO services, Google Ads management, social media ads, reputation management, and local digital marketing strategy for service-based businesses.
