What Searchbloom does

Searchbloom, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned performance digital marketing agency founded in 2014 and headquartered in the Salt Lake City, Utah area (South Jordan/Draper). The firm specializes in search engine marketing for mid-market and multi-location brands, operating a service catalog anchored on Search Engine Optimization (via the proprietary A.R.T. — Authority, Relevance, Technology — framework), Pay-Per-Click Management (A.C.E. — Assets, Control, Experimentation), Conversion Rate Optimization (U.T.U. — User Experience, Trust Signals, Urgency), Website Development (T.R.U.S.T.), and Link Building / Digital PR. Its core technology stack pairs these branded methodologies with internal AI tooling (Arti Alpha, planned for early 2026), an M.E.R.I.T. framework for AI Search Optimization (Mentions, Evidence, Relevance, Inclusion, Transformation) targeting Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, and measurement infrastructure using Peec AI and Ahrefs Brand Radar for AI-citation tracking.

The business model is retainer-based, with SEO services starting at $3,000/month and Google Ads PPC management starting at $2,000/month, scaled by ad-spend complexity and scope; pricing is custom and tied to client goals and expected ROI rather than tiered. Additional revenue comes from project-based engagements such as website builds, link acquisition/digital PR, and SEO consulting. Go-to-market is primarily direct sales-led with a white-glove, dedicated-analyst model — explicitly framed as "partners, not clients" — supplemented by a product-led-growth layer of free tools (Schema Markup Generator, Local SERP Checker, Keyword Mixer, etc.) and inbound demand from repeated DesignRush, Clutch, SEO Singular, Search Engine Land, and Google Premier Partner (top 3%) recognition.

Searchbloom serves a long-tailed mix of enterprise logos (Nordstrom, U.S. Bank, 1-800-Flowers.com, SUSE, Idera, Bill.com), mid-market clients (LoanPro, Jitterbug, Shirtspace, Diamonds Direct), and SMB/local businesses (Moxie Pest Control, Canyon Crest Dental, Xavier Tailor), with partner retention cited at 95–98%. The firm remains bootstrapped — no disclosed venture or PE funding — and is led by CEO & Founder Cody C. Jensen, Executive Vice President Jordan Conner, and Chief Operations Officer Ryan Dorn, with ~35 total employees.
