Mexican Destinations - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
"Huske & Associates redesigned and optimized our website mexicandestinations.com. We are a web based company and our business improved over 35%. Before Katherine developed our new site, we could not be found in the first 200 results of Google and Yahoo for our key words and the site was difficult to navigate. Today we receive over 18,000 unique visits each month to the site and can be found on page 1 of Google for all of our most important search terms like “Luxury Mexico Villa". Katherine also developed an electronic communication plan so that we “talk” to our clients through a professional email on a monthly basis." Kim Coates, President, Mexican Destinations

The Timberline Condominiums - Snowmass Village, Colorado
Katherine developed a 3 year strategic marketing plan that has helped our business increase over 30%. A year ago our website www.thetimberline.com looked outdated, was hard to navigate and was getting a few hundred hits a month. It could not be found on any of the search engines. Katherine redesigned the site and optimized it and we are thrilled with the results. We now receive over 10,000 unique visitors to the site each month. Our key terms come up on page 1 of Google and we have a super communications plan (e-newsletter) to follow up with travel agents, return guests and potential clients.”
Linda Anderson, General Manger, Timberline in Snowmass, Colorado
Grand Lodge Crested Butte Hotel - Crested Butte, Colorado
“We were getting lack-luster results from our website www.grandlodgecrestedbutte.com and asked Katherine to redesign and optimize. Prior to her work on the site we could not be found for our key words. Today we have a newly designed site that we are proud of and we come up on page 1 of Google for all our key terms. We are receiving close to 8,000 unique visitors each month. We are really happy with results.”

Mike White, General Manager
Vail Spa Condominiums - Vail, Colorado
“The Vail Spa website was not achieving the results we needed. We had an outdated look, very few pages of content and we were not found on the search engines. We were on a tight deadline and had a small budget to impact this winter season and wanted to turnaround a new site quickly. Katherine developed and optimized our new site in less than a month and we are excited about the results. We now come up on page 1 of Google for all our key terms and are seeing super increases in traffic to the site- over 6,000 unique visits last month.”
Andres Garza, General Manager, Vail Spa Condominiums
Christ Community Church - Basalt, Colorado
“Christ Community Church had an outdated website that was impossible to update and use. It also could not be found by the search engines. We wanted a clean, sharp look, and a site that new residents to the area could find on Google. We also wanted a church database integrated into the site where we could track members and sub groups through a web based database. Katherine Huske redesigned the site, developed a web based database and optimized it. We now come up #1 on Google for “Basalt Church” and have a great site to communicate with our members.”
Thomas Cheatham, Pastor
Aspen Lodging Company
"Katherine provided marketing consulting services for Aspen Lodging Company, then a part of East West Resorts, for three years. During that time she developed and implemented a strategic marketing plan that produced results. Revenues increased substantially each year during her involvement with the marketing program. She developed new collateral, strategically targeted the travel agent, group and wholesaler markets, developed a communication plan for Homeowners and developed all the content for the Company’s website, inclusive of optimizing the site. Aspen Lodging Company consistently saw search result placement on the first page of Google when key terms “Aspen Lodging” and “Aspen Condo Rental” were utilized."
