Who we are
A long history serving South Carolina businesses online
Broadstreet Consulting is a Camden, South Carolina-based digital marketing and web development agency helping small businesses in Camden, Lancaster, and across the Midlands grow their online presence and increase sales. As a Google Partner certified in Google Ads, our team combines local know-how with proven digital strategy to help businesses attract and engage customers through the web and social media.
We built our first website in 1994 and have been helping South Carolina businesses do business online since 1998. What started as a small operation in Wagener, SC has grown into a full-service digital marketing agency. Today, our focus is on building dynamic online communities and digital strategies that help local businesses compete and grow. We also specialize in Drupal, the open-source content management system that powers flexible, scalable business websites.
Why “Broadstreet”
Never cross Broad Street
Growing up on the outskirts of Trenton, New Jersey, in a small town called Yardville, I had the run of a very safe neighborhood, with one rule: never cross Broad Street. It was a busy, dangerous highway that required real experience and judgment to navigate. Some people got hurt crossing it. Some didn’t make it across at all.
That memory stuck with me. When I thought about the thousands of small businesses eager to tap into the power of the internet but unsure how to get there, Broad Street came to mind again. So many local business owners can see the opportunity the web offers, but the path to get there feels unfamiliar and intimidating. That’s exactly why Broadstreet exists: to help business owners navigate the internet with confidence. We’re here to offer a hand, share our experience, and help you cross over.
— Tom Sliker, founder
Fittingly, since 2025 our Camden office has been just steps away from Camden’s own Broad Street.
- Certified in Google AdsCertified staff who follow Google’s best practices.

Google Partner
A double layer of quality assurance
Google reserves Partner status for agencies it recognizes as trustworthy, high-performing and current on best practices. We’re listed on Google’s official Partner Search, so you can verify our credentials, and Partner status gives our team access to exclusive Google training, product updates and industry research across Google Search and YouTube advertising.
To keep it, we must continuously meet Google’s standards for certified staff, service quality and account performance. Google can, and does, revoke the badge from agencies that stop meeting the bar. When you work with Broadstreet, you get our standards and Google’s.
