What most SEO agencies get wrong.
Most agencies sell SEO as a set of tasks — audits, content calendars, link reports — and measure success in rankings and traffic. The problem is that none of those metrics tell you whether search is actually generating revenue.
The result is a market full of agencies that can show you a keyword graph going up while your pipeline stays flat. They optimise for activity because attribution is harder, so most don't attempt it. And while they chase rankings, buyers have started asking ChatGPT and Google's AI who to hire, and few agencies check whether their clients are in the answer.
Meanwhile, the companies paying for this work can't answer a basic question: is our SEO investment generating a return? If your agency can't answer that question clearly, the engagement is already broken.
How we work.
Four principles that guide every engagement. Each one quietly disqualifies the wrong client.
Who we work with.
Established US businesses first, especially family-owned and legacy companies with a strong reputation offline and little to show for it online: manufacturers, distributors, multi-location service companies and the name everyone in their area knows. How we work with them →
Then ecommerce brands, professional services firms and SaaS companies with genuine commercial ambition.
They've usually tried SEO before, in-house or with an agency, and stalled because the work was never connected to revenue. Leadership wants search, on Google and in AI answers, to bring in customers, not tick a box.
Companies looking for the cheapest option.
Businesses without a defined sales process.
Teams that want to outsource strategy entirely and check in quarterly.
If SEO is a line item you'd rather not think about, we're not the right fit.
