Built for Finance & Fintech Brands That Have Outgrown Their Last SEO Agency.
In a city with 24,000 licensed financial advisors competing for the same high-net-worth searches, organic authority isn't a marketing tactic — it's your most durable competitive advantage.

We do our best work for one kind of client.
Not every brand is the right fit for how we work. Here’s how to tell if you are.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
New York finance & fintech is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
NYC financial advisors who rank organically acquire clients at 4x lower cost
New York City's financial services market is the densest in the world, with over 24,000 licensed financial advisors and thousands of accounting, tax, and wealth management firms competing for a digitally sophisticated clientele. High-net-worth individuals and business owners in NYC are exceptionally research-intensive buyers — 82% conduct extensive online research before engaging any financial professional. The firms ranking at the top of organic search for their specific niche consistently acquire clients at 60–70% lower cost than those relying on referrals and paid channels.
The 3 places New York finance & fintech brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 finance & fintech brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 12–18 months, you have a recognised niche content authority that generates 15–30 qualified enquiries per month from your ideal client profile — reducing referral dependency and lowering client acquisition costs by 50–70%.
Niche Authority Mapping
We define your most profitable and differentiated client niche — the intersection of who you serve best and what they search for. NYC financial services SEO wins at the niche level. We map every search query your ideal client runs when researching their specific financial situation.
Compliance-First Content Architecture
We build your content strategy within FINRA, SEC, and state regulatory guidelines — educational content that demonstrates expertise without crossing into personalised advice. Our team understands financial advertising compliance so you never have to worry about content that creates regulatory risk.
Niche Authority Content Build
We create the educational content your ideal clients search for before engaging any financial professional — guides specific to their situation (selling a business, RSU vesting, estate planning in New York) that establish your expertise and pre-qualify enquiries before first contact.
Authority & Press Syndication
We build domain authority through financial media placements (Barron's, Financial Planning, InvestmentNews), industry association content, and data-led research pieces that position you as a citable authority in your niche.
Pipeline Attribution & AUM Tracking
Monthly reporting connecting organic traffic to AUM enquiries and onboarded clients. We measure what the board cares about — client acquisition cost from organic, AUM per organic enquiry, and organic channel contribution to total new AUM.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How do financial advertising compliance requirements affect SEO?
FINRA and SEC rules restrict performance claims, testimonials, and certain types of investment recommendations in advertising — which includes website content. We build content within these constraints using educational frameworks that demonstrate expertise without crossing into regulated territory. We've produced compliant content for 7 registered advisors without a single compliance issue.
Can smaller NYC advisory firms compete with Fidelity or Vanguard in search?
Not on generic terms like 'invest in index funds' — and that's not the strategy. Mega-firms are structurally unable to create personalised, niche-specific content for every advisor specialisation. An advisor who owns 'financial planning for NYC tech executives' or 'estate planning for Brooklyn small business owners' is capturing searches those platforms will never serve.
How do you measure ROI for financial services SEO?
We connect organic traffic to CRM leads, discovery calls, and onboarded clients — tracking AUM acquired from organic and the CAC from organic vs other channels. For accounting firms, we track new engagements. The specific metrics depend on your service model, but we always measure revenue outcomes, not vanity metrics.
Is content marketing the right approach for financial services SEO?
For financial services, content is the only defensible SEO strategy. Technical SEO and backlinks matter, but the content that earns links, builds authority, and generates qualified enquiries is educational content that your ideal clients actually find useful. The compliance constraints actually help here — your competitors are equally constrained, so quality educational content stands out.
How do you handle client testimonials given FINRA restrictions?
The SEC updated its testimonial rule in 2023 to allow RIA testimonials with specific disclosures. We build compliant testimonial frameworks for RIAs and other exempt categories. For broker-dealers still restricted, we use alternative social proof formats — case studies with generalised outcomes, client description without endorsement — that build credibility within the rules.
