Recent work
Arcadia Computers designed and installed the network for a client's brand new headquarters. That included the switches and the Wi-Fi, plus separate networks kept apart from each other for business devices, personal devices, guests and equipment.
Comcast went in as the primary internet connection with Starlink behind it as an automatic backup. The switch to the backup connection and back again was tested rather than assumed, confirming that phones, Wi-Fi and network access all kept working through it.
What sets Arcadia Computers apart
In John Allen's own words:
"We give small businesses access to experienced IT leadership without the cost of hiring a full-time IT director."
He describes the specialty as managing the whole environment: computers and networks, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, backups and cloud-hosted business software.
"Our strength is making those pieces work together and explaining your options in plain English, so you know what you're paying for and why it matters."

One thing not to do
On your Google Business Profile there’s a box for your website. Don’t put your PresenceScanner page there. That box is for your own website. This page is part of the PresenceScanner directory, not your own website, and Google has a rule against pointing that box at somebody else’s page.
If you don’t have a website, leave that box empty. Anywhere else is fine though. Your own website, your Facebook page, your emails, your business cards.
Google’s rule, if you want to read it: support.google.com/business/answer/3038177
Option 1. The badge
A small picture for your own website that links back to this page. Pick whichever suits it, hit copy, and paste the code in. Most people put it in the footer.
Left one for a white or light website. Right one for a dark or colored background.
Option 2. Send this to whoever edits your website
This is the finished code. They paste it in, nothing to build.
Option 3. If you edit your own website
Paste this sentence onto your homepage or About page. Then highlight the words See our listing here and use your editor’s link button to make a clickable link using the address underneath.
One thing to get right either way: leave the word PresenceScanner as plain text and never make it part of the link. Search engines and AI tools pick up business names written in ordinary sentences, and a plain mention is worth more to you than the link itself. Making the name into the link is a pattern search engines treat with suspicion.
