    At Search Influence, people power our performance, and once again, that commitment is being recognized.

    We’re proud to share that our AI SEO marketing agency has been named to the New Orleans CityBusiness 2025 Best Places to Work list in the Small Company category.

    This is our team’s fourth year in a row receiving this honor and our sixth time overall, a milestone made even more meaningful as we head into our 20th year serving clients across higher education, healthcare, and tourism.

    What the Best Places to Work Recognition Means

    Since 2003, the CityBusiness Best Places to Work program has highlighted organizations that demonstrate excellence in employee satisfaction, workplace culture, benefits, and long-term team support. Companies are evaluated through a two-part process involving an employer questionnaire and an anonymous employee survey measuring satisfaction across leadership, communication, pay and benefits, and overall culture.

    To be selected, companies must meet strict survey participation requirements and achieve high levels of positive employee feedback. Recognition indicates not only strong policies on paper but a workplace where employees genuinely feel valued and supported.

    A Culture Built Over Two Decades

    As Search Influence approaches its 20th anniversary, this honor underscores nearly two decades of intentional culture-building. What began as a two-person operation in a spare bedroom has grown into one of New Orleans’ most enduring digital agencies and a national leader in AI SEO strategy.

    Our long-standing employee tenure is a testament to that culture. Benefits that support our fully remote team include:

    • Generous PTO that grows with tenure
    • Moveable company holidays
    • Comprehensive health insurance options
    • 401(k) with employer match
    • Paid parental leave
    • Flexible schedules
    • Continuing education opportunities
    • The employee-created IDEA Committee for inclusivity and representation

    As a woman-owned digital marketing agency with a predominantly female leadership team, we continue to prioritize equitable advancement and meaningful support at every level.

    Looking Ahead

    As search continues shifting toward AI-powered results, the work we do as an AI SEO marketing agency continues to evolve, driven by the same commitment to people-first strategy that has defined our organization for 20 years.

    We’re honored to be recognized once again and excited for what the next chapter brings.

    We’re honored to announce that Search Influence has been named a finalist in the Best SEO Campaign category at the 2024 US Agency Awards! This recognition highlights our collaboration with Halvorson Plastic Surgery, where strategic SEO drove meaningful growth in patient inquiries and expanded their reach to patients seeking quality care.

    The Nominated Campaign

    For the past two years, we’ve partnered with Halvorson Plastic Surgery — a trusted provider of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures in Asheville, NC. We have a shared goal to maintain a steady flow of new patient inquiries by implementing thoughtful and data-driven SEO strategies.

    Over the past year, we pursued a two-stage SMART goal:

    • Increase year-over-year organic search leads.
    • Rank within the top five for specific target keywords central to the practice’s success.

    We’re thrilled to announce that we met and exceeded both goals, helping Halvorson Plastic Surgery connect with more prospective patients while enhancing the practice’s online presence and visibility. This success earned us a shortlisted spot in the 2024 US Agency Awards for Best SEO Campaign.

    We’re proud to partner with Halvorson Plastic Surgery to enhance their search rankings and online visibility, helping more patients connect with trusted care and make informed choices.

    Four key categories contributed to this success:

    • Content Strategy: Boost rankings and authority through publishing keyword-targeted blog posts, optimizing on-site content, and creating off-site content
    • Off-Site Entity Optimization: Increase authority and reach with off-site content creation and link-building
    • Technical SEO: Enhance search engine understanding and site navigation by implementing schema
    • Google Business Profile Optimization: Improve local visibility and SEO with profile updates and optimizations
