The Gratzi

What The Gratzi does

The Gratzi, Inc. is a privately held, bootstrapped digital marketing agency founded in 2012 and headquartered at 4721 75th St., Kenosha, Wisconsin. The firm operates with a small in-house team (1-10 employees) and delivers a unified suite of services to small and medium-sized businesses primarily in Southeastern Wisconsin and Northeastern Illinois. Its core offerings include Search Engine Optimization with integrated AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), Search Engine Marketing via Google Ads management, custom website design and development built on WordPress, Google Business Profile optimization, and tiered social media branding for Facebook and Instagram. Supporting add-ons include graphic design, in-house video production with a green-screen studio, ecommerce site builds, and ongoing website maintenance.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly recurring retainers (SEO at $449-$995/month, SEM at $725-$2,900/month, GBP at $249/month, Social Media at $755-$1,995/month) supplemented by one-time website project fees ranging from $3,900 to $8,900. Sales are conducted directly via website contact forms, phone, email, and in-person office visits, with no channel partners or resellers. The agency maintains Google Partner certification (Agency ID 1166808318) and integrates Google Analytics, Search Console, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, and Meta Business Account tooling into client engagements. The 2025 launch of the Gratzi Growth Pack bundles website, hosting, SEO, and GBP into a single offering with a three-week delivery timeline. AI is positioned as a core operational layer supporting content drafting, trend analysis, and campaign optimization, though the firm relies on general-purpose third-party AI tools rather than proprietary models. The customer base is exclusively SMB, with no disclosed enterprise logos, and the firm is founder-owned by Co-Founder Adam Kavalauskas with no external funding events.
