As a Google Partner with two previous Google employees, a 20-year SEO veteran and one of the most accomplished PPC specialists across the globe on staff, we know how to get the results you need.
And we will be clear and transparent with you all along the way. As a small business, we understand your challenges and want to help you grow your business the right way.
We strive to develop long-term relationships with established businesses rather than burning through clients like so many other agencies do.
What’s better than great customer service? Not much, in our books. From early life experiences with industry service leaders like Disney World and Nordstrom, our founder's respect and appreciation for excellent service was born. We strive to bring the best customer service to our clients every day.
We could call it collaboration, cooperation, support, dependability or sharing, but we think partnership sums it up well. We view our relationship with our clients and agency partners alike as a true partnership where we come together to get the job done right.
Family comes first. We love what we do, and we love the families we support. Conversions, CPA and CTR are all super important from 9 to 5, but we try to never lose focus on what matters most.

“I've wanted to start my own business ever since I was 18, but it took years of ‘real world’ experience to find my calling in online marketing. After years of hearing and feeling the pain of potential customers previously disappointed with their current agency, then trying to compare apples to apples with new potential partners, I knew I could provide both a better buying experience and better outcomes for entrepreneurs and marketing managers. I set out to build a better agency, one that is candid, experienced from top to bottom and provides outstanding customer service and reporting.
Another reason I founded Neon Ambition was to provide my family the freedom to pursue our passion for travel. The world is a big, beautiful place and we hope to see it all. I know our customers have their own families and desire to pursue their passions outside of the office. This is why our team works hard every day to pursue our own passions and grow and thrive together with our clients. I encourage you to reach out to us to see if we might be the right fit to help your business grow.”
