SEO Mercenary exists so local shops, practices, and growing eCommerce brands can afford the same caliber of marketing the big players get, without the agency overhead.
SEO Mercenary is co-owned by Collin Phillips and Kate Randall. Collin brings 13+ years of digital marketing experience, most of it spent leading high-performing marketing teams before going independent. The name says it plainly: we are hired guns who care about the outcome, and we work best when a business owner tells us what winning looks like and lets us go get it.
We are a husband and wife team. That keeps us fast, keeps every client working directly with the people doing the work, and keeps our packages within reach of businesses that could never justify a big-agency retainer.
We serve Syracuse and Onondaga County customers in person and work with national and international companies remotely, with a portfolio spanning eCommerce, dental and medical practices, and local service businesses. Some of the work is closer to home, too: we designed, built, and photographed a community events site here in Central New York.
When you call, you talk to one of us. When work ships, one of us did it. Upstate New York runs on small businesses and the people behind them, and we would rather earn your trust in person than hide behind an agency logo.
Collin runs the SEO, paid ads, AI optimization, and analytics side of the business and designs and builds client sites on Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, and GoDaddy. More about Collin coming soon.
Kate shoots the product, portrait, and location photography and advises on the look and feel of every site and campaign we deliver. More about Kate coming soon.
A mercenary gets hired to get the job done, and done well. That is the whole intent. We love going above and beyond for our clients, and we measure ourselves by whether your business grows and scales because of the work.
It also means we take the jobs other agencies will not touch: the messy migration, the ad account nobody can explain, the site that has been half-built three times. Point us at the problem and we will handle it.
We do not do the bare minimum. We look for wins, opportunities, and ways to snatch traffic from competitors, and we show you the data behind every recommendation.
Content is king, but context is queen. Understanding your customers, your storefront, and your market comes before any keyword list or ad campaign.
You will always know what we shipped this month and what it did. Pages, campaigns, photos, and reports you can point to, in language you do not need to decode.
Generally you can expect some improvements within a few months. Significant results build over time, and we plan for that from day one.
A short conversation about your business, your goals, and what has and has not worked before. Local clients can meet in person.
We review your analytics, search performance, ad accounts, and site health so the plan starts from facts rather than guesses.
You get a written proposal sized to your business: $500 to $2,000 per month for local businesses, $2,000 to $5,000 per month for eCommerce and Shopify stores. Every quote is custom because every project is unique.
Monthly deliverables go live, results are tracked against organic leads and revenue, and the plan adjusts as the numbers come in.
Call us for more info, or send an email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
