About Delray SEO Company
A small, locally owned SEO company in Delray Beach. Here is who we are and why we do this.
Mark Whitaker, Founder — placeholder photo and name.
Why I started this company
I spent eight years at a large marketing agency in Fort Lauderdale. Good company, smart people. But I watched small business owners sign contracts they did not understand and get reports they could not read.
One client, a family-owned bakery, paid us for fourteen months. Their calls never went up. Nobody at the agency had ever visited the shop. That bothered me enough to leave.
I started Delray SEO Company in 2014 with one rule: I will only take on work I can explain to the owner in plain English, and only as many clients as I can actually stay on top of.
Why Delray Beach
My wife and I moved here in 2011. Our kids went to school here. I buy my coffee on Atlantic Avenue and my hardware on Federal Highway.
That matters more than it sounds. When you know a town, you know which searches people actually use, which neighborhoods matter, and which seasonal swings to plan around. A national agency guesses at that.
The team
Three people plus me. Everyone here works on your account directly — there is no layer of account managers between you and the work.
