Founded in 2003, this SBA-prequalified, boutique digital marketing agency provides SEO, paid search, online reputation management, social media community engagement, and AI/LLM optimization to a carefully maintained roster of long-term clients. Revenue has grown from $906K in 2020 to $1.84M in 2025, and SDE grew 43% YoY from 2024 to 2025, reaching $1.1M. Approximately 80% of revenue is recurring monthly, and SDE margins have remained consistently above 50%.

What sets this company apart is the durability of its client relationships. The top 25 clients average 12.4 years of tenure. The largest client is a top-25 U.S. regional bank with a 17-year relationship, which renewed for the 8th consecutive term covering 2025–2026 at approximately $42K per month. Each two-year renewal over that period has reflected consistent increases in scope and monthly value. The company operates as an embedded partner, with work woven directly into each client's day-to-day operations across social media triage, review management, paid search, and analytics.

The founder has been the primary driver of strategy, client relationships, and operations, working across roles that would typically span multiple departments in a larger organization and is committed to remaining involved or up to 5 years post-sale. The contractor team, with many having 10 to 20 years of tenure, is expected to remain in place as well.

A buyer with existing agency infrastructure will find immediate room to grow. A paid search engagement with the largest client has just been signed as a four-month contract starting April 1 and is expected to generate $20,000 to $40,000 per month of additional revenue as a precursor to an anticipated two-year agreement for this additional service line. AI and LLM optimization is already generating revenue across multiple clients and is projected to contribute approximately $70,000 in 2026, with revenue associated with this service line expected to double in 2027.
