Small business success is often shaped by early influences, and for Maia Internet Consulting’s founder, those influences began at home. Growing up with parents who ran their own businesses, one a bakery and tea shop, the other a camera repair business, instilled a deep understanding of the dedication and adaptability required to succeed as an entrepreneur. This foundation fostered a passion for business ownership and a keen awareness of the many roles small business owners must take on to thrive.
With a career that began before the rise of social media and high-speed internet, Maia Internet Consulting’s founder gained valuable experience in digital marketing through BedandBreakfast.com, a pioneering online directory that connected independent lodging properties with travelers seeking unique stays. Long before it was acquired by Expedia, the platform played a pivotal role in helping small inns and bed and breakfasts reach their ideal guests.
In 2001, following the dot-com boom and bust, Maia Internet Consulting was established to bridge a critical gap, helping independent lodging businesses develop high-performing websites that ranked in search engines and converted visitors into bookings. Drawing from extensive experience in digital marketing and business strategy, the company evolved to offer comprehensive marketing, website development, and consulting services tailored to independent lodging properties with 50 rooms or less.
Today, Maia Internet Consulting is a full-service digital agency, providing strategic marketing, website design, hosting, and business consulting. The team includes experienced developers, copywriters, PPC specialists, and marketing experts, all dedicated to helping independent lodging owners grow their businesses. With a strong commitment to personalized service and results-driven strategies, Maia Internet Consulting continues to empower small lodging properties to compete in an ever-evolving digital landscape
