The Small Marketing Agency

Right now, when Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT fetches data from a website to summarize it for a user, they often don't leave a traditional browser "fingerprint" like a human clicking a link does.

If a user clicks a source link inside an AI response, it usually shows up in your analytics under generic Direct Traffic or Referral Traffic, completely masked.

If the AI just reads your site to give the user a "Zero-Click" answer, that transaction is entirely invisible to Burst or Google Analytics.

You provided the value, but you got zero credit in the data stream.

That means your SEO isn't telling you everything you need to know because it can't. The technology isn't there yet. This means your user created content is even more critical because you don't know who's reading it, how often it's being read, and how leads are really coming to your business.

How interesting is that?

15 years ago, The Small Marketing Agency was an idea that would get me back into the workforce after taking an extended break to raise my kids. I’d been on the sidelines for nearly a decade and was nervous about starting my own company.

The first couple of years were lean and full of growing experiences. I worked so hard for that first $500 invoice and was putting in close to 60 hours a week. Friends helped with the original logo design and referred the first clients. Gradually my reputation as a sole proprietor grew and I got busy enough to bring in help. Since then, we’ve had our ups and downs, but we have persevered and kept true to our mission of helping small businesses be more competitive.

In the last 15 years we’ve handled start-ups, SMB’s, regional, and national clients. Our scope is now global and we work with the kinds of clients larger agencies would love to steal. The Small Marketing Agency is the company I always wanted to work for. I have the most incredible team and am proud to work with dreamers, innovators, and people who take pride in their work. And they all have a wonderfully wicked sense of humor.

After 15 years of pushing the boundaries in marketing & PR for our clients, it has been an honor to work with so many entrepreneurs and people who want to change the world. We’re right there with you. Thank you for your trust, belief in your own ideas, and letting us bring your vision to life. I’m looking forward to another 15 years of changing the world with you. Go small, grow big.
