# Persist Marketing

> Persist Marketing is an owner-led, Atlanta-based digital marketing agency founded in 2010 with offices in Atlanta and Alpharetta. We specialize in local SEO, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, reputation management, website design, national SEO, and generative engine optimization (GEO) for small businesses and national B2B companies. We serve four verticals: home services, legal, healthcare, and national B2B.

## About

Persist Marketing is a boutique agency where the founder is directly involved in client work. We maintain two Atlanta-area offices for client meetings, both available by appointment.

**Atlanta office:** 3355 Lenox Rd NE #750, Atlanta, GA 30326. Phone: (404) 418-8490.

**Alpharetta office:** 11720 Amber Park Dr #161, Alpharetta, GA 30009. Phone: (770) 580-3736.

Founded by Jay Torrence in 2010, the agency has been operating for 15+ years with client relationships spanning over a decade. Clients work directly with senior strategists, not through layers of account management. Our focus is the intersection of traditional local search and AI-generated discovery, helping businesses stay visible as search behavior evolves.
