About Persist Marketing
Alpharetta SEO That Actually Moves the Needle
Alpharetta is one of North Atlanta's most competitive small business markets. Everyone from law firms to home service contractors is fighting for the same Map Pack spots. We know it well. Persist Marketing has worked with Alpharetta businesses since 2010. Our office sits on Amber Park Drive, right across from Avalon. We help you rank in Google search and win the Map Pack. And now we help you show up in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Here's how we work. Every client gets a dedicated client manager who actually knows the business, with senior oversight on every account. We also work month to month. That means we have to keep earning your business, not just win it once. And it works. More than half of our clients have been with us more than two years, and our longest relationship spans 14 years. So if you're a local business in Alpharetta or the North Fulton corridor, we'd love to help. You want more calls, more leads, and a stronger presence across Google and AI search. You're in the right place.
Located at 11720 Amber Park Drive, across from Avalon. Visit our Alpharetta office by appointment, or schedule a video call to get started.
What Sets Us Apart
Why Alpharetta Businesses Choose Persist Marketing
Plenty of agencies will sell you SEO services. Fewer can show 15 years of doing it consistently for businesses in this exact market. Here's what makes our approach different.
Owner-Led with an Experienced Team
Jay Torrence, our founder, is involved in client work across the portfolio. Our team combines deep search experience with modern execution, and every account has senior oversight built into how we work.
15+ Years in This Exact Market
We've watched Alpharetta SEO evolve through every Google algorithm update, every shift in local search, and now the rise of AI-powered search. We've seen what works and what doesn't, and we've earned the scars to prove it.
Exclusivity When You Need It
We don't chase every opportunity in a category. If category exclusivity matters to your business, we offer it as part of our agreement. It's a conversation we have early so expectations are clear from the start.
Built for Both Google and AI Search
Traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are distinct but closely related, and they work best together. We position your business to rank in Google search results, the Map Pack, and the AI-generated answers that increasingly drive how customers find local businesses.
Transparent Reporting
You see exactly what we did, what it produced, and what's next. No vanity metrics. No agency-speak. The reports we send are the same ones we use internally to make decisions about your account.
Long-Term Partnerships
Many of our client relationships span 5+ years. Several go back over a decade. We measure success by outcomes that compound year after year, not by how many new accounts we sign.
