Our Mission

Make businesses visible where their customers are actually looking. That used to mean just Google. Now it means AI search, voice assistants, and platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity too.

We bring enterprise-level strategy to businesses that don't have enterprise budgets. Every client gets the same caliber of thinking we applied at Thomson Reuters and Credit Sesame.

Leadership

Enterprise experience from Thomson Reuters, Credit Sesame, and Salem Web Network. We work with a network of copywriters, designers, photographers, and ad specialists to deliver complete solutions at scale.

Founder & CEO

Michael Rupe

Michael has been doing SEO since 1999. Before starting the agency, he spent over a decade in-house at companies like Credit Sesame (500% organic growth in 9 months), FindLaw by Thomson Reuters (+8M organic visits YOY), and Salem Web Network (106% traffic growth across six major websites).

He founded the agency in 2013 to bring that caliber of work to businesses that can't afford to hire a Fortune 500 marketing team. He handles strategy, client relationships, and campaign direction.
