Real Results From Businesses We've Worked With
Based in Marina Del Rey, here is what that work has looked like for other businesses we have taken on.
We took Gabriel at Peninsula Holiday Lights from page 4 of Google into the Map Pack (top 3) for his holiday lighting install business in the South Bay, Bay Area. Demand grew enough that he had to hire extra help last season, and his rankings, calls, and quote requests have kept climbing since.
We took Sara Southard at The Liquid Wanderer from no website and no rankings at all to page 1 of Google for her most important keywords.
Why Austin businesses end up stuck with "SEO" that does nothing
Reports, not results
A monthly PDF that never explains why rankings and calls have not moved.
Half-finished technical fixes
Broken links, missing schema, and slow pages quietly undoing every other SEO effort on the site.
No real keyword strategy
Content written for what sounds good, not what buyers are actually typing into Google.

Austin Is a Tech and Government Town With a Growing Creative Scene
That split shapes how local businesses actually get found online.
State Government & University
As the capital of Texas and home to the University of Texas at Austin, the city carries a large public-sector and higher-education employment base, a different buyer behavior than a typical consumer market.
Tech Hub (“Silicon Hills”)
Major tech employers and a dense startup scene have made Austin one of the fastest-growing tech markets in the country, driving intense competition for digital visibility.
Live Music & Creative Economy
Austin’s self-described status as the “Live Music Capital of the World” adds a large hospitality and tourism layer on top of tech and government, each with its own search behavior.
Does GuestBrands have an office in Austin?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We work with Austin businesses remotely from our California base in Marina Del Rey. SEO work does not require a local office, it requires the technical fixes, content, and links that actually move rankings.
