About

Practical marketing with real technical depth.

Ellis Local is founded by Phillip Ellis, a web developer and IT professional with 15+ years of experience, including time at Microsoft supporting Azure Networking, Azure Data Factory, and critical enterprise and government customers. That background now supports small and medium businesses that need a better website, stronger visibility, and dependable help.

The goal is not to sell a pile of buzzwords. It is to make the web presence clearer, easier to maintain, and more useful: service pages, local SEO, Google Business Profile work, content updates, review support, landing pages, Google Ads, social media content, and reporting that makes sense.

Managed IT support is also available by consultation for businesses that need help with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, DNS, email security, devices, cloud basics, and general technology planning.
