Built by Agencies, for Agencies

GreenPin SEO was founded after watching dozens of great agencies lose clients to AI search — not because they weren’t good, but because nobody had built them the right fulfillment system.

Why We Built
GreenPin SEO

In 2022, our founder was running a local SEO agency in Washington DC. The results were good. The clients were happy. Then Google started rolling out AI Overviews and ChatGPT exploded onto the scene.

Clients started asking: “Are we showing up in AI search results?” Most agencies had no answer. Neither did we — at first.

After 18 months of testing, failing, and eventually cracking the code on getting home service businesses cited in AI answers AND dominating Google Maps simultaneously, we had a system that worked consistently.

We realized most agencies would never build this themselves — it was too technical, too new, and too time-consuming. So we turned it into a white-label fulfillment service that agencies could simply plug into their existing client base and immediately start delivering better results.

Today we power 40+ agency partners across the US, managing 200+ active local business locations — all invisibly, all under our partners’ brands.

“Agencies deserve a backend partner that actually understands where local search is going — not where it was.”

— James Williams, Founder

GreenPin SEO, Washington DC

Our Core Values

Every decision we make comes back to these principles — especially when it comes to how we treat agency partners.

Agency First, Always

Your clients are your clients. We never reach out to them, never market to them, and never put our brand anywhere near your accounts. Full stop.

Results Over Reports

We could send you beautiful reports with no results. We refuse to. If rankings aren't moving, we tell you why and fix it before you have to ask.

No Lock-In, Ever

We've never needed a contract to keep a partner. Month-to-month means we have to earn your business every single month through real performance.

Honest Communication

If a client isn't a good fit for our system, we'll tell you before you onboard them. Better to say no early than to deliver disappointing results.

Always Learning

AI search is changing weekly. We invest 20% of our time in R&D — testing what actually moves rankings in the current AI era, not 12 months ago.

Your Growth Is Our Growth

We're incentivized to make you successful. The more clients you scale, the more locations we manage. Our interests are perfectly aligned.
