About

VizOnTheNet is a Local Search Marketing Research and Training Company which is owned and operated by Sommers Communication of Maui, Hawaii. Along with being nationally known Local Search Marketing experts, owners Bob and Josh Sommers are also the founders of the Internet Marketing Association of Hawaii and hosts of the Recognized Expert Marketing Show … the most popular Internet Marketing Show for professionals on the Internet.

Our mission is to educate the business world on how to generate new business from the Internet through local search marketing and reputation management … and do it without spending a dime on advertising.

Our approach is very different from most Local Search Marketing Companies. To start, we only work with business owners and professionals who have been referred to us by our customers … no exceptions. We’re also different in that we won’t optimize or publicize your business for you. We’ll show you how it’s done and coach you through the process, but we won’t do it for you.

Here are a few personal things about the owners of VizOnTheNet that you might find interesting.
