Your Local Marketing Partner
Bringing Corporate-Level Strategy to Appalachian Main Streets.
Our Mission
Bring Big City Strategy
to the Mountains
SEEN MKTG was founded on a simple, powerful belief:
Geographic location should never determine a business's potential.
Our mission is to provide local business owners with the same professional, high-stakes marketing tactics used by major corporations in Washington D.C., delivering those strategies directly to the towns and cities of Central Appalachia. We exist to lift the burden of promotion, optimize your visibility, and ensure your company is truly SEEN by the customers who need you.

Our Roots
A Homecoming to the Highlands
The journey that established SEEN MKTG is rooted in heritage. For years, our founder commuted five hours daily to Washington, D.C., working in high-level agency marketing to help large companies scale. But the tide turned. She realized her expertise was needed closer to her roots—where it could make a real impact on the communities she loves.
She chose the Tri-Cities because her connection to this area is generational. Her family's history in Central Appalachia dates back centuries; her first Virginian ancestor was born in 1612, just seven years after the colony was established.
From a lineage of Great-Grandfathers who owned small businesses throughout these mountains, the drive to build and serve this region runs deep. It has been ingrained in their genes to provide for their communities. From those roots to childhood memories of family reunions at Hungry Mother State Park and many, many escapes to here from the city, this region is home.
This isn't just a career move; it is a homecoming. We're not just experts passing through; we are your neighbors, deeply invested in seeing you succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical cost for marketing services in the Tri-Cities?
We believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing designed for local small business budgets.
Our core "Done-With-You" and "Done-For-You" Packages start at $295 per month. We also offer specific Project-based pricing for websites and one-time audits.
There are no hidden fees or surprise hourly billings.
Do you serve businesses outside of the Tri-Cities Region?
Yes. While we are based in the heart of the region, SEEN MKTG proudly serves all of
Northeast Tennessee & Southwest Virginia.
Our digital footprint spans the entire mountain region—serving clients from Clintwood down to Erwin, and stretching from the Cumberland Gap across to Galax.
How is SEEN MKTG different from a large advertising agency?
We offer all of the cutting-edge "Big City" strategies—without the bloat. Large agencies often try to sell you a "mess of services" (social media management, graphic design, and endless add-ons) just to justify a high monthly retainer. We don't do that.
We specialize in the single, most critical factor for business success in 2025 and beyond:
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) & Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
We don't dabble in everything; we master the one thing that ensures your business actually gets found. Plus, you never get passed off to a junior account manager. You work directly with the Senior Director to build the digital foundation your business needs to survive.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
We offer both flexibility and stability. Our Packages are designed as monthly partnerships to build long-term growth, also known as the "marathon" approach.
However, for specific needs like a website refresh or a Google Business Profile setup, we offer Project-Based options with a defined scope and timeline.
We always recommend scheduling a Discovery & Direction Session first to see which model fits your goals.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your business rank on Google's list of links.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new standard—it ensures your business is recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews.
We optimize your digital presence for both, ensuring you are the top answer whether a customer searches on a map or asks an AI robot.
