Businesses Are Making Big Moves. Will They Find You — or Forget You?

Every day, companies are deciding who they’ll trust to move, insure, staff, and finance their next chapter.

But here's the hard truth: Most service providers get overlooked — not because they're unqualified, but because they’re invisible when decisions are being made.


If your brand isn’t seen at the moment of opportunity, it won’t matter how great your service is.

Someone else will win the deal. Someone else will get the call. You deserve better. You deserve to be the first choice, not the forgotten option. 

We built the Texas Economic Development Connection to make it easier for growing businesses to find trusted service partners when relocating to Texas. Because when business owners are making big moves, they shouldn’t have to guess who to trust and you shouldn’t have to wonder how to be found. At the TexasEDConnection, we connect great businesses to great partners — just like you.

Picture this:

  • Business owners reaching out because they heard about you at the perfect time.

  • Your brand standing tall in a sea of competitors.

  • New partnerships. New contracts. New growth.

That’s what happens when you move from invisible to irresistible.

How do I know this will work?

There’s no guarantee in marketing — and we’ll never pretend there is. But what we can guarantee is this: if you don’t show up, we can’t recommend you. Since launching #TexasEDConnection, we’ve talked to hundreds of business owners making major relocation decisions. When you join the Trusted Partners Program, your business becomes one we can confidently direct them to when they need your services the most. 
​
It’s simple: If you’re in the network, you can be in the conversation. If you’re not, you’re not even on the map.

What’s included exactly?

Once approved, here's what's included in your Trusted Partner membership:

Website Listings (Included): Your business will be listed on both TexasEDConnection.com and GoneToTexasPodcast.com — making it easy for relocating businesses to find you.


Social Media Visibility (Included): You’ll have the opportunity to submit branded graphics and text for posting across our LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram platforms.


Custom Blog Feature (Included): Our team will write a dedicated blog post featuring your company, services, and how you help growing businesses.


Direct Referral Opportunities (Included):  You’ll be added to our preferred service partner list, used when business owners ask us for trusted recommendations.

Additional Opportunities (Optional Upgrades):

Exclusive Content Features: 


 You can purchase premium add-ons like:

  • Featured spots in our Monthly Newsletter

  • Dedicated Guest Interview on the Gone to Texas Podcast and YouTube Channel

  • Inclusion in Direct Mail Campaigns to targeted industries

(Available separately. Pricing provided upon request.)


Industry Category Exclusivity:


 Want to be the only company in your service category? You can lock in exclusivity — meaning no direct competitors will be promoted alongside you inside the Trusted Partners Program. (Limited availability. Additional investment required.)

In short:

Your basic membership gets you visible and connected. 

Your optional upgrades let you dominate your category and amplify your presence even further

How Many Partners Per Market?

We allow up to three Trusted Partners per industry per market, ensuring healthy exposure while encouraging collaboration but not saturation.

Want to be the only one?

Choose our Exclusive Partner Tier to secure full industry exclusivity in your region. Once it's locked, it's yours alone. Territories are first-come, first-served.

If exclusivity matters to your brand, now’s the time to raise your hand.

Will there be any lead capture or database collection info shared with Trusted Partners?

Our platform includes a lead referral form for business owners and newcomers seeking services. All relevant leads are sent directly to the appropriate Trusted Partner based on category and region. Partners will receive quarterly reports that include visibility metrics (page views, podcast downloads, blog traffic).

Who maintains the site? What kind of support is available?

The D1Experts, TexasEDConnection and Gone to Texas Podcast platforms are maintained by the Day One Experts team. Partners have access to dedicated support via email and live office hours each quarter for questions, updates, or marketing collaboration. We are here to help you stand out. 

What is the best way to contact you?

The best way to reach us is by filling out the contact form on this page. It goes straight to our team, and we’ll respond within one business day.

Prefer to talk it out? You can also book a quick call here: Let's have a chat!

We’re real people and we’re here to help you connect with the right partner for your business.
