The Challenge

Walnut Creek businesses need more than a website to compete

The commercial and cultural hub of Contra Costa County. Broadway Plaza is the county's premier outdoor shopping center with Nordstrom, Apple, Tiffany, and 70+ luxury retailers. BART connectivity brings shoppers from across the East Bay and Peninsula. Strong professional services sector.

Walnut Creek draws shoppers from Concord, Lafayette, Orinda, and even SF via BART — but most local service businesses market only to their immediate neighborhood. A financial advisor in Walnut Creek ranking for "financial planning East Bay" captures a county-wide market of high-income commuters who pass through daily.
