Nineteen years, one philosophy
Bellingham SEO started in 2007, back when explaining what SEO even was took up half of every first meeting. David Simpson built the agency here in Whatcom County around a simple conviction: local businesses deserve marketing help from people who will look them in the eye, tell them the truth, and prove their work with numbers, not stories.
Nearly two decades later, the tools have changed beyond recognition. The conviction has not. We publish our own rankings, we show clients the same scans we run on ourselves, and we still explain everything in plain English.
Small by choice
We could have grown into a big agency with account managers and hold music. We chose not to. Staying small means every client is known by name, every campaign has an owner, and nothing gets handed to a stranger. When you call, you get someone who actually works on your business, usually the same person who did last month, and the month before that.
For David, the agency has always been about more than rankings. It is a way to build something honest around the things that matter most: faith, family, and work he can stand behind. That shows up in how we treat clients, in the cases we turn down, and in the fact that we would rather keep a promise small than break a big one.
Local roots, national reach
Most of our story is written within a short drive of our office on the Guide Meridian. But good work travels: today we serve clients across the United States, from home-service companies to healthcare practices, applying the same playbook we prove in our own backyard first. We rank #1 in our own market against other SEO agencies, the hardest competition there is, and that is the standard we bring to yours.
"I built this agency the way I would want to be treated as a client."
When I started this company in 2007, I made myself a few promises. Tell people the truth, even when a comfortable answer would close the deal faster. Show the work, so nobody ever has to take my word for it. And never take a dollar I do not believe I can earn back for the person paying it. Nineteen years later, those promises are still the whole business plan. If that sounds like the kind of team you want in your corner, I would love to meet you.
