This SBA-prequalified, boutique digital marketing agency founded in 2003 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 the 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 business is being sold to position it for its next phase of growth, where a larger platform and additional resources can unlock further scale.
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. A buyer with existing agency infrastructure can immediately take on a stable client base and improve margins by utilizing existing teams, systems, and operational support. There is an estimated $150,000 to $200,000 in near-term web development revenue currently being declined due to bandwidth constraints. A paid search engagement with the largest client has just been signed as a four-month contract starting April 1, expected to generate $20,000 to $40,000 per month, 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.
The seller is committed to supporting a smooth transition and is open to remaining actively and indefinitely being involved beyond that, particularly in business development and client relationships, in a way that aligns with the buyer’s vision. The contractor team, with many having 10 to 20 years of tenure, bring deep experience and long-standing client familiarity and can remain involved where it adds value, while allowing flexibility for integration into an existing platform. For a buyer with the right foundation, this company represents a stable and profitable business with long-term client relationships, consistent recurring revenue, and significant opportunities to build on an already strong foundation.
