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.
San Francisco finance & fintech is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
2.4 million Bay Area residents search for a financial advisor, wealth manager, or investment firm every single month

According to local financial search data, 68% of Bay Area high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs with $1M+) now use Google to research financial advisors before meeting — up from 41% in 2021. Independent wealth managers and boutique advisory firms with strong local SEO acquire qualified clients 42% faster than those relying solely on referral networks and industry events.

“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.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does financial advisor SEO cost in San Francisco?
San Francisco finance SEO retainers typically run $3,600–$8,200/month. Our packages start at $2,800/month for independent advisors and RIAs.
Can an independent advisor compete with major brokerages on Google?

How long before we see qualified client inquiries from SEO?

Do you work with solo advisors or only larger RIAs?
Both — our strategy scales. Solo advisors see 18–28 monthly inquiries; larger RIAs with multiple specialities see 40–65.
How important are client reviews and testimonials for finance SEO?
Critical. Advisory firms in the local pack top 3 average 56 testimonials with 4.9+ ratings. Testimonial diversity and specificity matter more than volume.
