Qualified inquiries
The calls, forms, and RFQs you'd actually take, counted from your records instead of form spam. This is the number I work toward.
Results
What does the part-time in-house role produce?
The clearest evidence is Vantage Plastics, where Tim Bish worked as in-house marketing lead. Over a 24-month window, qualified RFQs grew from 30 to 152, organic clicks from 2,000 to 18,100, and search impressions from 466,000 to 2.1 million, all with $0 in ad spend.

How results are measured
How does Socoz Design measure results?
Four numbers, read as a sequence. Visibility leads to engagement, engagement leads to inquiries, and inquiries lead to jobs.
Source of inquiries
Which pages, posts, and searches produce the inquiries that close, so effort moves toward what works.
Engagement
Clicks, time on key pages, and interaction from the right people.
Visibility
How often you show up in search and AI answers. Useful as an early signal, never the headline.
Current clients
Who does Socoz Design work with now?
The newer engagements are still compounding, so this is the work underway. Numbers go on this page when they're real.
Pro-Line Coatings, Bay City
A truck coatings and accessories shop serving the Great Lakes Bay Region since 1998, with the kind of real work customers want to see. The work: a rebuilt, search-ready website, an updated Google Business Profile, and a steady Facebook and Instagram program written in the owner's plain, practical voice.
MichiganPro Home Inspections
In business since 2006, MichiganPro serves homebuyers across Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The work: a new website built around the questions buyers ask before they book, plus Facebook and LinkedIn launched from scratch.
MiHIA, the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance
Tim serves as MiHIA's fractional Communications and Marketing Strategist, handling social media, website content, and partner communications for a nonprofit convener serving central and eastern Michigan.
Patience, on purpose
Why don't the newer clients have big numbers yet?
Because the work compounds, and real numbers shown late beat inflated numbers shown early. At Vantage, the meaningful climb in RFQs showed up between months 3 and 6. When the newer engagements cross that line, their results go on this page with the source listed.
