Hi, I'm Mike McDonnell
I founded Glide Marketing in 2022 to offer small service businesses something different: digital marketing that actually delivers results without the confusion, jargon, and excessive costs that often come with agencies.
My Background
I've always been passionate about creativity and digital design. Back in secondary school, I was obsessed with Photoshop, initially dreaming of designing film posters and advertising hoardings. When I discovered web design, I realised it offered even more creative possibilities. I could create entire digital spaces from scratch, helping businesses bring their brand to life online.
Over time, I recognised that having a great website isn't enough. If nobody can find you on Google, you're missing out on potential customers. That's when I developed my expertise in SEO. Now, every site I build is designed to be fast, SEO-friendly, and built to rank from day one.
A seamless process from start to finish
Why “Glide” Marketing?
I chose the name Glide Marketing because so many agencies make things unnecessarily slow, confusing, and frustrating. I wanted to do things differently. With me, the entire process is smooth and efficient, from initial consultation to web design and ongoing SEO. No unnecessary delays, no confusing jargon, just good, solid work that gets results.
My goal is for working with me to feel effortless, like gliding through the air. No friction, no hassle, just a website and SEO strategy that actually works for your business.
My Approach
I believe in being honest, transparent, and focused on what really matters: getting you more leads and customers. I don't bombard you with technical jargon or vanity metrics. Instead, I focus on clear communication and results you can actually see in your business.
What Makes Working With Me Different:
How I Work
I handle most of the work myself, bringing in trusted specialists only when needed for specific aspects of larger projects. This means you get expert attention without the agency overhead costs, and you always know exactly who's working on your project.
I'm selective about the clients I work with to ensure I can deliver the level of service and results I promise. I specialise in working with small service businesses who are serious about growing their online presence and generating more leads.
