Mike Parr is the founder of Coastal Web Marketing, a seasoned SEO consultant with a deep-rooted background in the computer industry. His career began in 1979, when he started working on everything from small computers to supercomputers. In the 1980s, Mike was entrusted with repairing some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated systems, serving prestigious clients like the Social Security Administration, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, The Pentagon, AAI, Maryland National Bank, and NASA. He quickly earned a reputation as a “computer geek” and expert, developing a strong foundation of technical knowledge that set the stage for his future ventures.
In 1991, Mike transitioned from the world of large-scale computer systems to small business ownership, where he worked closely with companies, ranging from small businesses to large corporations with thousands of employees. He focused on training individuals and teams in computer usage and software, while also handling technical support and repair contracts for organizations like Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Westinghouse, NSA, and Grumman. In 1993, he opened his first office in Bel Air, Maryland, marking a significant step in his career.
By 1997, Mike took on the role of VP at a local technology firm that operated as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). In this position, he played a pivotal role in offering web hosting and internet dial-up services across three counties. The company even launched an initiative to teach Harford County schoolteachers how to safely navigate the Internet, equipping them with the skills to teach their students.
In 2007, Mike founded Coastal Web Marketing (formerly MParr Solutions, Inc.), with a clear mission: to help small businesses build a solid online presence through the power of SEO. Over the years, Coastal Web Marketing has built hundreds of websites, created logos, brochures, and business cards, and trained thousands of individuals in programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and various internet courses.
In 2017, the SEO landscape underwent significant shifts with Google focusing more on user experience, mobile optimization, and high-quality content. Coastal Web Marketing quickly adapted to these changes by emphasizing mobile-first indexing, voice search, and local SEO strategies. Recognizing the growing importance of these factors, the team refined its approach to help small businesses maintain visibility in an evolving digital environment. This year marked a pivotal moment for Coastal Web Marketing as they aligned their services with the latest SEO trends, ensuring continued success for their clients.
In January 2024, Coastal Web Marketing streamlined its focus exclusively on SEO, dropping all other services. Today, with a team of skilled professionals, Coastal Web Marketing offers expert SEO services and SEO-ready website design, all delivered on time and with a personal touch. The company has become a trusted name in the small business SEO space, known for providing tailored solutions and delivering exceptional results. While not the largest agency in the industry, Coastal Web Marketing takes pride in offering personalized, high-quality service that is aligned with each client’s specific needs and goals.
