Our team

Meet the people behind the rankings.

A founder who built his first website before most businesses had one, a Chief Marketing Officer on four legs, and a team of SEO, social media and technical specialists, volunteers and interns who work from home and get results.

Leadership

Brian Beaty and Charlie.

One founder, one Chief Marketing Officer and a very short chain of command.

Founder and owner

Brian Beaty

Brian got his first computer in 1986, opened a dot-com cafe in 1998 and, in late 1999, worked out how Google’s page rank really worked. He has been helping businesses earn the top spots ever since, hiring people with disabilities and veterans to work from home and teaching interns from the local community colleges along the way.

He leads from his wheelchair, sets the standard that results beat reports and has never run an ad. He answers to one person in the office, and that person has fur.

Chief Marketing Officer

Charlie

Charlie is a dog, and he takes the job very seriously. His areas of expertise include morale, brand loyalty, quality control by sniffing and getting everyone to take a break and go outside.

He signs off on every campaign from the couch, requires no salary beyond treats and has never been caught sending a report. In short, the perfect results-based executive.

The team

Experienced people, doing the work by hand.

Brian’s team is made up of 12 SEO employees who are mostly disabled, 3 social media employees, a technical specialist and several volunteers and interns.

SEO specialists

Brian’s SEO team has twelve employees, and most of them are disabled. They research, write, build, fix and track everything that moves a website up the rankings, from local and technical SEO to answer engine and AI search work.

Social media specialists

Three social media employees plan, write and publish posts, manage profiles and reviews and keep every channel pointed back to the website, where the customers actually convert.

Technical lead

One technical specialist keeps the websites fast, secure and tracked: hosting, speed, schema, analytics, call tracking and the free tools you can try on this site.

Volunteers and interns

Several volunteers and interns work alongside the paid team, learning the craft by doing real work, exactly as Brian’s first interns from the community colleges did years ago.

How the team works

Talent is not limited by a commute.

Brian has hired people with disabilities and veterans to work from home since the early days.

  • Remote first, with adaptive tools and flexible schedules built around each person
  • Hands-on work by experienced people instead of a stack of automated tools
  • Interns and volunteers learn on real projects with real mentors
  • One client per trade in a market, so the whole team pulls in your direction
  • Short, honest updates focused on calls and customers
