From SEO Magic to Strategic Growth: The Growth Marketing Story

In 2013, I saw something troubling in the Twin Cities digital marketing landscape. Small businesses were being sold ‘SEO magic tricks’ and quick fixes that ultimately hurt their growth.

After 5 years as an independent consultant watching peers struggle with their online presence, I founded Growth Marketing with a simple mission: help businesses achieve sustainable digital growth through proven strategies.

The digital world has transformed dramatically since then – from the rise of mobile to over 483 Google algorithm updates. But our core principle remains unchanged: being in the right place at the right time when clients need you.”

Founder – Global Head of Search Technologies
As founder and head of search strategy, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of businesses – from local contractors to Fortune 500 companies. Each business faces unique challenges, but they all share one need: sustainable digital growth that impacts their bottom line.
What I’ve learned over 15 years in digital marketing is that success isn’t just about rankings or traffic – it’s about understanding the unique challenges each business faces and crafting strategies that deliver meaningful results. Whether launching successful online businesses or conducting hundreds of technical website audits, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t in our local market.
Today, I’m most passionate about helping businesses that are ready to move beyond basic SEO to achieve true market leadership. If you’re looking for a partner who understands both the technical and strategic sides of digital growth, I’d love to learn about your business goals.
