We’re excited to share some news that truly means a lot to us. RAD Web Marketing has been nominated for Best Digital Creative Services in the Best of the North Bay, Sonoma County Poll, run by Bohemian Magazine!

This nomination didn’t come from an application or a paid placement. It came directly from the community. From business owners, organizations, and partners who took the time to nominate us because of the work we do and the relationships we’ve built.

That alone is something we’re incredibly grateful for.   Now, voting is open, and this is where your support makes the difference.

About the Best of the North Bay Awards

Each year, Bohemian Magazine runs the Best of the North Bay awards to highlight standout local businesses across Sonoma and Napa counties. The process starts with open nominations, where community members submit the businesses they believe deserve recognition.

From there, the most-nominated businesses move into the final voting round. This year, voters can choose from top finalists across nearly 50 categories, covering everything from food and drink to professional services and creative industries.

RAD Web Marketing was selected as a finalist in the Best Digital Creative Services category. Being included alongside other respected local agencies is an honor, and it reflects the trust our clients place in us.

How To Vote for RAD Web Marketing

Voting is quick and only takes a couple of minutes. Here’s how to cast your vote:

You can vote once per email address, so if you have more than one email, each one counts.

Voting ends on December 28, so be sure to get your vote in before then.

What Being Nominated Means To Us

We’ve always believed that good digital marketing starts with clarity and trust. Clear messaging. Clear structure. Clear strategy. And honest guidance that puts long-term results ahead of quick wins.

This nomination tells us that approach resonates.

We work with businesses throughout Sonoma County and the North Bay who want more than a “nice-looking website.” They want their business to be understood. By customers. By Google. By AI-driven search tools that are increasingly shaping how people find and choose local providers.

Being nominated for Best Digital Creative Services reinforces that the work we do matters, and that thoughtful, strategic digital marketing still stands out.

Why Your Vote Makes A Difference

Local awards like this aren’t just about bragging rights. They help small, locally owned businesses stay visible in a competitive market. They help new clients discover providers they can trust. And they reinforce the value of working with people who are invested in the community they serve.

For us, this recognition helps:

  • Reinforce credibility for prospective clients researching agencies

  • Highlight the importance of strategy-driven digital marketing

  • Support a locally owned business competing against larger regional firms

Every vote signals that thoughtful, well-executed digital work still matters.

A Thank You To Our Clients And Community

We want to say thank you to everyone who nominated us, referred us, worked with us, or supported us along the way. RAD Web Marketing exists because of long-term relationships, not one-off projects.

We’re grateful for the trust our clients place in us to guide their websites, SEO, Google visibility, and overall online presence. We take that responsibility seriously, and we’re proud of the results we help businesses achieve.

If you’re able to take a moment to vote, thank you. If you’ve already voted or shared the link with others, thank you even more.

We’re honored to be part of the Best of the North Bay conversation, and we appreciate being able to serve the Sonoma County business community every day.

Voting ends December 28, and we truly appreciate your support.
