KC’s Favorite Grocery Store!

shoppers feed their families for less. One way in which they’ve accomplished that mission is through their Chopper Shopper REWARDS program. Introduced in 1998, it was the first grocery loyalty program in the market. By scanning their REWARDS card at the register, customers earn points on every purchase and can redeem them to save on special offers in the app or on fuel at metro-area QuikTrip locations and Price Chopper stores with fuel pumps. The program has helped customers save more than $80 million just on fuel since its introduction.

Voted Favorite Grocery Store

Another way Price Chopper helps customers save is with the My Price Chopper app. Customers can manage their REWARDS points, add digital coupons to their card, find personalized offers, browse the weekly ad and find additional ways to save all within the app. When customers sign up, they also receive additional email offers like Freebie Fridays, as well as receive special savings opportunities through Price Chopper partners — like Fresh Saves with Sporting KC or 8 for $8 with the Royals.

As the market leader, Price Chopper plays a key role in the community — not only as a provider of goods and services, but as a partner, sponsor and contributor to Kansas City area teams, clubs, charitable organizations and other institutions.

To help fight hunger in Kansas City, Price Chopper partners year-round with Harvesters Community Food Network, hosting food collection barrels in every store. Price Chopper also partners with the National Letter Carriers Association for the Stamp Out Hunger food drive

and hosts an annual fundraiser to fight summer childhood hunger through the No School = No Lunch program. Price Chopper takes an active role in promoting active lifestyles. As the Presenting Sponsor of the Sporting Club Network, Price Chopper supports more than 40,000 youth soccer players in the region. They’re also a proud supporter of numerous other youth sports programs as well as races, tournaments and other community events that inspire healthy living. Price Chopper’s community involvement extends further to professional sports and other top-tier performances. As an official sponsor of the Royals, Price Chopper REWARDS members can redeem their Chopper Shopper REWARDS points for discounts at Kauffman Stadium.

THANK YOU FOR VOTING US KANSAS CITY’S FAVORITE WEB DESIGN COMPANY

Chris Nastav Owner – KC Web Specialists

LOCAL, AFFORDABLE, TRUSTED.

Veteran owned business serving Kansas City for 17+ years

We make technical stuff uncomplicated, transparent, and easy to understand.

My clients are my friends and many have stayed loyal with us for 17+ years.

I taught Web design at Johnson County Community College for 18 years.

As a small business owner myself, I 100% relate to the trials and tribuations that most of the small to medium sized businesses in Kansas City face with running a business on a day to day basis.

I take this commonality and apply it the solutions we provide.

Are you hungry for your business to show up on the first page of Google? Then you’d better start E-A-T’ing more. Google’s E-A-T stands for Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Simply put, if you want higher Search Engine Optimization (SEO) rankings in Google, you need to convince Google that your business is:

An Expert in what your customer is searching for.

An Authority on what your customer is searching for.

Trusted to give your customers what they are searching for.

Is Your Business

E-A-T’ing Enough?

For Great SEO, How Much Should You E-A-T?

Unlike dieting, the answer is, that you can never E-A-T enough. It’s a fact, that Google is watching your E-A-T’ing strategy. In a competitive search environment for search terms like “Lawyers in Kansas City”, you need to be E-A-T’ing voraciously. For a company that offers Guard dog services in Kansas City, you can E-A-T less, but you still need to be E-A-T’ing.

Is

It

Possible To E-A-T On A Budget?

E-A-T’ing is a “Human” effort. It’s not technical, it’s not secret sauce. For great SEO results, your company’s SEO specialist needs to spend around 8 hours a month managing your E-A-T’ing. You get what you pay for when E-A-T’ing for SEO purposes.

Next Steps?

KC Web Specialists has been helping small to mid-sized businesses across Kansas City and surrounding communities E-A-T properly for great Google SEO results for the last 17 years.

Google’s E-A-T. It’s Not Food.

Here’s a simple way to determine if your business is E-A-T’ing enough. Open Google on your phone or computer. Type in your company name. Aside from the “Sponsored Ads”, how many links do you find for your business? If you want to see an example of a company that’s been E-AT’ing a lot, type in “KC Web Specialists”. The first 50 to 75 things you see are going to be links that refer to KC Web Specialists.

Finally, if you don’t want to SEO E-A-T properly, KC Web Specialists can still get you to the top of the first page of Google by managing a Google “Sponsored Ads” campaign for you. Google “Sponsored Ads” are the Ozempic of Google Marketing. Getting top-of-page Google placement IS much faster than E-A-T’ing for SEO. You literally can be on the top of the first page of Google tomorrow by taking a quick shot of Sponsored Ads. But be warned, Google Sponsored Ads can have serious costly side effects if you don’t know what you are doing.

Contact us today at info@kcwebspecialists.com or (913) 489-7866 for more information about E-A-T’ing or Sponsored Ads.

EXTINGUISHING THE STEREOTYPE UNCOMPROMISING LUXURY

RAPID REHABILITATION

VOTED GOLD NURSING HOME & GOLD SKILLED NURSING FACILITY

For patients in Kansas City who need skilled nursing services alongside modern physical and occupational therapy and even in-house dialysis treatment, Ignite Medical Resorts combines the best of these worlds. It has cutting-edge treatments for severe illness and injury recovery in a boutique hotel experience complete with professional hospitality staff and resort-level amenities.

Now expanded to multiple states, Ignite started in Kansas City with the Northland location in 2018. This year will mark the addition of its sixth local medical resort as Ignite is acquiring the St. Joseph Place senior living from Ascension health system this summer.

Tim Fields, co-founder and CEO of Ignite Medical Resorts, says that the total staff in Kansas City is around 900 with the new acquisitions. “We do not use contract employees, so every nurse and therapist and housekeeper are on Ignite’s payroll with access to amazing benefits,” he said.

This superb level of staff care ensures consistent personnel and high-quality medical attention that dually contribute to better patient outcomes. These staff are so committed largely because of the leadership’s emphasis on culture. The company established Ignite the Way, a 501(c)(3), to aid employees facing various catastrophes by allowing them to apply for emergency funds. Ignite also offers reward and recognition programs such as Superhero in Scrubs and incentives like gas cards, swag, and free

DoorDash and Planet Fitness memberships. Staff also get access to daycare and pet insurance discounts.

Ignite is the preferred choice of several major health systems for post-hospital rehabilitation. It has traditional long-term care, but over threequarters of patients are there for short-term rehabilitation with the goal of returning home. Tim explained that these patients need aggressive therapy and nursing services for two to four weeks. Ignite Medical Resorts focus on advanced therapy and hospitality for the recovering patient makes it a toptier option for its partnering health systems.

Ignite partners with the preferred networks at North Kansas City Hospital, Centerpoint in Jackson County, Saint Luke’s and many more by meeting regularly to review clinical outcomes and to collaborate with their physicians on advanced clinical programming.

Ignite has private rooms, a Luxe Café proudly brewing Starbucks coffee, a Fireside Restaurant with chef-prepared food and a Director of Hospitality who works with the guests and their families to ensure their stay goes well.

The resort has clinical programming to treat those in need of orthopedic and pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac and wound care, infection management, and support those with renal disease and stroke recovery. It is the only facility in the region to use advanced therapy robotics such as the Andago walking device which supports patients safely with a

mobile ambulation rig that works with one’s natural gait. Tim said that staying at Ignite “supports mind, body, and soul, which separates our facilities from traditional nursing homes. Most are long term care focused with some therapy options for rehabilitation patients. We flipped that idea with rehabilitation patients being the focus of the facility.” Ignite breaks the stereotype of institutional-feeling nursing homes by offering a friendly and enthusiastic environment similar to a boutique hotel with staff who are trained in hospitality and focused on customer service.

“We aim for customer service and hospitality at every touchpoint of a patient’s stay,” he elaborated that staff practice the 10/5 rule greeting those in their proximity of 10 or 5 feet with a smile and pleasantries respectfully. The hospitality team’s Surprise and Delight program has organized visits with patients’ grandkids or pets or arranged for their favorite meal to be delivered from a local restaurant or from a family member. “We also have the How’s Mom app for families,” Tim added, “it gathers data from our electronic medical records and supplies them conveniently to a loved one in real time to provide peace of mind and alert them to big milestones in the patient’s recovery.”

Ignite’s culture helps retain and attract top talent, which translates to benefits for patients on a physical recovery level but also on a level that supports their dignity and establishes hope.
