About Us

Profile Type: Business
Year Founded: 2002
Number of Employees: 9 or fewer
It's just me (Josiah), a Google-certified search marketing specialist, my sales & operations assistant (Janice), a search optimization specialist (Peter), a graphic designer (Von), and a web designer (Jason).

Unlike many other agencies, we don't outsource any of the projects we receive. Keeping the whole production system in-house allows us to provide you with faster turnaround time.

Payment Terms

In our experience from working with dozens of campaigns, ongoing management far outperforms a one-time job. Additionally, mutually committing to a long-term relationship ensures the best results.

For these reasons, we like to start out with a 1-month trial project to determine if we can provide strong return on investment for you. At the end of one month, we can both assess our progress, and then decide how to proceed. (Over 90% of our clients want to continue to a long-term contract)

In long-term contracts, our standard paid search optimization and management fee is 20% of your monthly ad spend, with a $1,500 monthly minimum.
