Two Marines Moving was selected by Google as a featured Virginia business in Google’s 2016 Economic Impact Report, a nationwide report highlighting how American companies use the internet and Google’s tools to grow, create jobs, and contribute to local economies.
The report examined Google’s economic contribution across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and showcased individual businesses whose growth stories demonstrated the practical impact of digital tools in the real economy. Two Marines Moving was chosen to represent Virginia.
What the Google Economic Impact Report Is
Google’s Economic Impact Report documents how businesses, publishers, and nonprofits use Google Search and advertising tools to reach customers, expand operations, and drive economic activity. The 2016 report focused on how internet‑enabled businesses contributed to economic growth at the state and national level.
According to Google, the 2016 report highlighted success stories of companies that effectively leveraged the web to grow and compete in their markets. Two Marines Moving was one of those highlighted businesses.
Why Two Marines Moving Was Selected
As reported in coverage summarizing Google’s release, Two Marines Moving was selected as Virginia’s featured example of a business using the internet to grow.
Nick Baucom, Founder and CEO of Two Marines Moving, was quoted discussing the company’s growth approach, emphasizing a digital‑first marketing mentality paired with disciplined execution.
“We were able to grow quickly through our blood, sweat, and digital‑first marketing mentality,” said Nick Baucom, Founder & CEO of Two Marines Moving.
Google leadership echoed this theme in the report, emphasizing how access to information and digital tools enables businesses of all sizes to grow and thrive.
Economic Impact at the State and National Level
The 2016 Economic Impact Report documented that Google’s tools helped support hundreds of billions of dollars in economic activity nationwide, while also breaking down state‑level impact. In Virginia, Google reported billions of dollars in economic activity generated by businesses using its tools.
Two Marines Moving’s inclusion placed the company among a small group of businesses recognized as contributors to that broader economic ecosystem.
A Veteran‑Founded Business Leveraging the Web
The Google feature recognized Two Marines Moving not as a technology company, but as a service business that successfully applied digital tools to scale operations and reach customers. The company’s growth model combined disciplined execution with modern online visibility, allowing it to compete and expand in a crowded industry.
This recognition reinforced a core principle behind Two Marines Moving: that traditional service businesses can achieve exceptional results when they apply modern tools with focus and intent.
National Technology Recognition for a Service‑Driven Company
Being featured in Google’s Economic Impact Report placed Two Marines Moving alongside businesses across the country that demonstrated how the internet enables opportunity, growth, and job creation. The recognition serves as independent validation that disciplined leadership and smart digital execution can scale even the most hands‑on industries.
Service, Discipline, and Execution—Online and Offline
Two Marines Moving’s inclusion in Google’s 2016 report reflects more than marketing success. It reflects an operating doctrine that blends discipline, accountability, and execution with the effective use of modern tools.
From local moves to statewide recognition, the mission remained the same: execute at a higher standard, adapt to the environment, and deliver results.
