About Persist Marketing
Alpharetta SEO That Actually Moves the Needle
Alpharetta has become one of North Atlanta's most competitive small business markets, with everyone from law firms to home service contractors fighting for the same Map Pack positions. Persist Marketing has worked here since 2010, from our office at 11720 Amber Park Drive across from the Avalon shopping center. 15+ years of helping Alpharetta businesses rank in Google search, win the Map Pack, and now show up in AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Every client has a dedicated client manager who actually knows the business, with senior oversight on every account. We work month to month, which means we have to earn the relationship every month. Most of our clients stay for years anyway. If you're a local business in Alpharetta or the North Fulton corridor that wants more calls, more leads, and a stronger presence in both Google and AI search, you're in the right place.

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 not separate disciplines. They work 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
Most 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.
