I'm Robert Carter, founder of Gumlog Advisors. I'm a retired U.S. Army veteran who now serves North Georgia businesses with the same dedication I brought to serving our country. After my military service, I transitioned into digital marketing because I saw how many local businesses were struggling to compete online. Based here in Blairsville, I personally handle every client account - you'll work directly with me, not a sales team or outsourced contractors. I believe in straight talk, transparent pricing, and getting results. My military background taught me discipline, strategic thinking, and the importance of completing the mission - which for me now means helping your business grow online.

As little or as much as you want! After the initial setup and information gathering, most clients spend less than 1 hour per month with us. We handle the heavy lifting - you just need to provide occasional feedback and approve major changes. You can focus on running your business while we handle your online presence.

Several things set us apart:

• 100% focused on North Georgia - We know your market
• No contracts - Flexible terms that work for you
• Direct access to the owner - Robert handles your account personally
• Transparent pricing - No hidden fees or surprises
• Proven local results - 10+ success stories in your area
• We answer the phone - Call (978) 305-6596 anytime

Perfect! Most of our clients aren't. We handle all the technical stuff and explain everything in plain English. No jargon, no confusing reports. We'll show you exactly what we're doing and why it matters to your business. As one client said: "I don't know how online works but Rob does and he got me more business than I can handle."

Yes, 100%. You own everything we create for you - website, content, images, and all accounts. If you ever decide to part ways, everything goes with you. We believe in transparency and ethical business practices. Your digital assets are yours.

We work with all major platforms including WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, and custom HTML sites.
