"Having worked on both the agency and client side, I have a unique perspective on how Search can work - we focus on high impact initiatives aligned to what is most important to driving your business. One of my favorite clients taught me how to demonstrate the fruits of our SEO/PPC labor by focusing on identifying those sometimes-hard-to-find "shiny pennies" to communicate up and out throughout her organization." - Mary Smucker-Priest, CEO

Who Are We?
the not-so-simple leaders of simple.
Mary Smucker-Priest // Founder & CEO
Hi. I'm Mary Smucker-Priest and I've been a Search Marketer for over 15 years. I've always loved words - My parents are writers and instilled a love of the written word in me from birth! Via a craigslist ad in 2004, I began writing optimized web content for an agency that I soon joined full time, grew my technical skills and became an expert in SEO, Google AdWords and Google Analytics. I've led teams, built departments, and trained dozens of folks who are now also successful Internet Marketers, both as agency employees and freelancers. I've brought a couple of my favorite people on board who you can meet below. |
