We’re Experts with Digital Marketing Solutions
In the constantly shifting digital world, 17 years is a lifetime! During this period, the business has grown from a company that offered local website design and hosting services to one that creates all-encompassing digital marketing solutions for businesses at a local, regional, and national level.
Here is what we do: Higher Images develops and designs websites, constructs SEO plans, runs PPC campaigns, creates branding initiatives, promotes business through public relations, and gets you noticed on social media.
We grow revenue, increase sales, build customer bases, expand any online presence, track campaign results, engage customers, and improve customer service. If that’s what you’re looking for, then we’re here to help.
Higher Images’ marketing efforts are built upon Digital HI™ Technology. Digital HI is a web marketing console that gives our clients direct results on their marketing and advertising campaigns. We’ve worked with plenty of companies who have suffered from disjointed systems that deliver discouraging results and don’t effectively track where their “digital dollars” are working.
Our technology platform fixes that problem. It’s a cohesive system that delivers real results and trackable areas. These are the kind of tangible results business owners must have to make informed decisions on how to create more online leads and increase conversions.
Digital Hi™ Technology brings multiple technologies together into one digital interface, while addressing the need for a higher level of accountability and simplicity for business owners to deliver real-time results. We are able to change, and then improve, how business owners market their companies. By allowing businesses to view the results online, they can make better business decisions.
Advertising
The right advertising campaign at the right time has the power to solidify and grow your brand while attracting new customers.
Choosing the most effective advertising tool, or a combination of tools, will bring your products directly in front of your audience, especially if they are online. Higher Images uses different digital advertising channels that will give you the results you need to achieve your company’s goals.
Digital advertising has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade because of the ability to both track and then measure results. Key metrics are used to adjust your advertising dollars, to add other ad channels, and to fully integrate marketing communication into the mix.
Higher Images will sit down with you to talk about your goals and develop a targeted digital campaign that matches your objectives and your budget. We will make sure that your ads are seen by potential customers that you target by gender, age, income, interests, and online behavior. Your advertising can and should be fine-tuned so that you’ll continue to see the results that you want. You can adjust your budget, your reach, and your platform while tracking click-through rates, lead volume, and conversions.
You need to stay in front of your competition. Your SEO plan is the key. Businesses use SEO to generate leads, drive traffic to their website, sell goods online, connect with customers, and increase their online reputation and credibility. Here’s an SEO eye opener: 93% of people looking at the internet start with a search, and millions of people are online every day. How can all of those people find you?
Having a professionally designed, user-friendly website is just the start. Now, you need to make sure that customers find you when they are searching online for information, products, ideas, and services. That’s the power of SEO.
Website design trends evolve more quickly than print styles, which makes good design crucial for those companies who see most of their customer interaction occur online. You want customers to find your page, like what they see, and then know what they should do next, whether that’s finding product information, locating your nearest store, or filling out a contact form. With mobile usage now accounting for more than 65% of all online traffic, your online presence must be designed as a responsive site that is easy to view on a desktop computer, a tablet, or a phone.
Here’s a statistic that really shows how important good design is: Nearly 40% of users will leave a site if the design is unattractive. That’s nearly half of your audience! If they’re lost once landing on your site, they’ll simply go to a competitor’s site, and chances are, you’ve lost them forever. Higher Images designs engaging websites that draw your customers in, increase your traffic, guarantee more return visits, and give you leads and sales.

When your property is damaged, more than your property hurts. This very emotional disturbance to one’s life can devastate the daily life routine, causing more stress and problems than just an insurance claim.
A Public Insurance Adjuster is on your side and can help immensely. Studies show when one hires the professional services of a public insurance adjuster for a major catastrophe, the insured could receive 400 to 500% even up to 747% for their loss.
Having suffered a loss on your home or business is devastating. Your success in rebuilding “as it was before the loss” is our goal. A public adjuster works for your best interest as a home or business owner.
We will work with you and your insurance company to settle your loss as per the insurance policy that was purchased.
“My house burned down. The insurance company had already estimated the damage and paid us $87K. After we hired Brian, we were presented a check in the amount of $141K additional.”
“We had a water loss. The insurance company denied this claim. Brian helped us reversed that decision and fought for $105K.”

What is a Public Adjuster?
This is a personalized service, a public adjuster steps in, during one’s emotional roller coaster ride during an insurance claim. A public adjuster, recognizes, measures, documents and reports all the details of the claim for a more comprehensive scope of one’s claim allowing for the best possible claim settlement process.
A public insurance adjuster is a person or business which is licensed by the Department of Insurance in a state.
A public adjuster is the only entity or person allowed by law to help a policy holder outside of a family member.
A public Adjuster is a professional, whom is knowledgable about an insurance policy and knows what insurance policies really cover.
What is covered by your insurance company?
The general public would be surprised. Many times, homeowner’s have damage and spend their own money to make repairs on their homes. They don’t realize damage may or would have been covered by an insurance policy which they paid for once already. In essence, they have paid twice for this damage.
What is an Insurance Policy?
An insurance Policy is a contract offered from an insurance company that will repair a certain type of damage to a person or property. A public insurance adjuster knows if the damage is insurable.
When to call a Public Adjuster?
It is true, not all claims need a Public Adjuster. When a loss occurs, an insurance company hires an adjuster to adjust your loss and report what they think the loss amount should be.
An adjuster hired by the insurance company is likely to do what the insurance company hires them to do, as to receive a steady paycheck and keep their job and steadily employed.
It is our opinion the possibility of such an adjuster may not thoroughly see all the damage that was created by the loss, thus creating a less than comprehensive repair estimate for your loss.
This difference in looking at a loss from two different points of view can mean a very different outcome of your claim.
Realizing every claim is different and history does not dictate future claims, however, claims we have settled in the past show a very wide margin for home and business owners.

We offer homeless veterans a supportive, safe, and regenerative environment as they gain the necessary skills to face real life challenges, secure permanent housing and lead productive and self-sufficient lives. At veterans place we have an array of services dedicated to addressing issues that our veterans face in the Pittsburgh region. We pride ourselves with not only our success, but the quality of services we provide.
Transitional Housing Program
The Transitional Housing Program provides a supportive and sober living environment that can accommodate 48 homeless veterans for up to a 24-month stay in one of our 13 townhouses on Washington Boulevard. Veterans in the program receive recovery support, case management, clothing, access to an on-site food pantry, financial management and employment and educational support designed to build their self-sufficiency and independent living skills. The ultimate goal of achieving permanent housing is central to the Transitional Housing Program.
Preparing Veterans for life-sustaining employment is paramount to combating homelessness. At Veterans Place, we focus on the economic mobility of Veterans by investing in workforce development & education and addressing basic needs. We recognize that basic needs must be met in order for unemployed, under-employed, formerly incarcerated, homeless Veterans to advance along the economic continuum. In addition, access to education and job training are critical to lift people out of poverty, connecting them to tools that will help them build better lives.Veterans will be provided vocational resources, such as job preparedness training, skills building, vocational certification and career counseling that will enable Veterans to connect to jobs and develop a stronger financial future.
Through our Day Program, veterans from shelters and on the streets are transported to the Veterans Place facility on Washington Boulevard where they are provided meals, clothing, showers, and access to telephones, computers and TV. Those who are willing participate in case management, health-related referrals, employment/educational assistance, financial literacy workshops, and other services designed to address the root causes of homelessness, including chemical dependency and mental illness. By leveraging in-house services with a variety of community partners, the Day Program operates as the front line for homeless vets and a gateway to other programs and services in the region.
Veterans Place is partnering with BOB Project Inc. to build a tiny house community that will serve as permanent, supportive housing for homeless Veterans. The modular “living” homes can expand as Veteran’s needs change and the neighborhood will include a holistic center, green spaces and community gardening that will contribute to the overall vitality of the neighborhood by serving as a resource for both the tiny homes community and surrounding community at large. The tiny homes will incorporate energy efficiency upgrades, solar and other green building efforts to make the homes healthy and affordable. The model Tiny Homes’ site will consist of fifteen tiny homes, a holistic center, a shared community garden, a gathering pavilion, storm water retention pond, and walking trail on a 3.7-acre site in the Penn Hills neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. It In the 5,000 square-foot community center, veterans will be able to take classes, develop a skill set in new trades, cook and share meals, and participate in events sponsored by the greater community. The Tiny Homes will be built, sometimes with the help of the occupying veteran.
