Anchor & Grow partners with small business owners and founders to build brands people remember and marketing that brings in revenue. No corporate jargon. No cookie-cutter plans. Just a real founder-to-founder partnership.
We start with strategy: market research, customer personas, brand identity and a 12-month roadmap built around your goals.
Strategy & FoundationWe bring your brand to life with a website, video, copywriting and design that turn visitors into customers from day one.
Creative & BuildWe drive steady growth through SEO, AI search visibility, paid ads, social media and email, with reporting that ties every dollar to real results.
Organic · Paid · SocialMost marketing agencies have never run a business. They've never felt the pressure of making payroll, wearing every hat, or betting their savings on an idea. We have.
Our team brings 20 years of brand development experience, 22 years of real business ownership, and a record spanning 500+ client engagements. That gives you something most agencies can't: advice from people who have actually been in your shoes.
We pair technical precision (SEO, data analytics, AI search strategy) with a real understanding of what it takes to build a business that lasts. We don't just solve the problem. We explain the solution so you understand it and share ownership of the process with us.
We work with you as peers, not vendors. We win when you grow, and that's the only metric that matters to us.
Every recommendation comes with the why behind it and a clear next step, so you're never left holding a strategy deck you can't use.
We optimize for Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, so customers find you wherever they search.
No vanity metrics. We track leads, cost per lead, revenue attributed and ROAS, and report on them every month.
We've been there. Let's look at the data and the strategy and find a way around it together.
You're not alone. Most small business owners don't have the reporting to connect marketing spend to revenue. We set that up from day one.
Without a brand voice profile and a visual identity system, inconsistency is inevitable. We build the foundation that makes every touchpoint feel intentional.
Traditional SEO is only part of the picture. We optimize for Google, local search, and the AI tools your customers increasingly use to find businesses like yours.
That's exactly what we're here for. We handle the strategy, content creation and community management so you can focus on what you do best.
We reject the polished, detached agency model. A founder leads your account, knows your business, and has a stake in your success.
Start with a free 30-minute strategy call. We'll review where you are, find your biggest opportunities, and recommend the right path forward.
When a customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overview who the best provider in town is, does your business come up, or does your competitor's? Most small businesses have no idea. Our free AI Visibility Report shows you exactly where you stand.
From brand strategy to paid advertising, we offer everything a growing business needs, without the overhead of an in-house marketing team.
Market research, competitive analysis, customer personas, brand identity and a 12-month strategic marketing plan: the foundation your business grows on.

Ask About Founding Client SpotsAnchor & Grow is a brand development and marketing partner for small business owners and founders. We handle strategy (market research, personas, brand identity), creative (websites, video, copywriting, design) and growth (SEO, AI search visibility, paid ads, social media, email) through three packages or à la carte services.
Most agencies are built around account managers who sell the work and then hand it to junior staff. At Anchor & Grow, you work directly with our founders, John Rankin and Kylie Campion, and a team with 22 years of business ownership, 20 years of brand development and 500+ client engagements behind it. When you hire us, you get us.
Starter is a one-time project of $2,500 to $5,000. Growth has a $5,000 to $10,000 build fee plus a $1,500 to $2,500 monthly retainer. Partner has an $8,000 to $15,000 build fee plus a $3,500 to $6,000 monthly retainer. Every engagement gets a fixed quote before work begins, and à la carte services are available.
GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the practice of making your business visible in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. More customers now ask AI for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. We optimize for both traditional search and AI search so your business shows up wherever customers are looking.
Paid advertising can generate leads within days of launch. SEO typically shows meaningful traffic growth within 3 to 6 months, and social media results compound over time with consistent posting. We set realistic expectations at kickoff and report against them every month, with no vanity metrics and no surprises.
Starter is a one-time project with no ongoing commitment. Growth and Partner require a 6-month minimum retainer from the date your website launches, then continue month to month with 30 days' written notice to cancel.
Yes, and it's the most common path. Starter is designed as the foundation every other package builds on. Clients who complete Starter and move to Growth or Partner receive a credit of 50% of their Starter fee toward the new build fee.
Yes. Anchor & Grow works with founders and small businesses across the United States. We're a remote-first team, so our work happens over video calls, email and shared project tools, and every client gets the same founder-led partnership wherever their business is based.
