About Tutelary Marketing
Tutelary Marketing is a faith-based Local SEO company serving local businesses across the US helping them achieve 1st page rankings on Google. When then make sure those rankings turn into real dollars and cents coming into your business.
Founded in 2011, we have served over 700 clients, achieved over 500,000 first-page rankings, generated over 11,000 leads, and returned over 5 million in revenue for our clients.
We are passionate about returning an ROI for our clients. We believe local businesses need our help. It’s common for Local SEO companies to just hide behind rankings and traffic and then 12 months later, the local business realizes that for all the money they’ve spent, their Local SEO company actually didn’t do any work. And that they’ve wasted all of that time and money. It is rare for a Local SEO company to do right by their clients and not just take their money but instead, do good work & achieve an incredible return on investment.
And that’s exactly what we do at Tutelary Marketing…

We’re not the right company for everyone. We require things that other Local SEO companies may not (like revenue tracking). But we also deliver results that other Local SEO companies cannot.

We’re the Local SEO company for YOU.

The Tutelary Marketing Story
In Our Founder's Words
In May of 2010, I graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN with a degree in Business Management, ready to take on the world.
2010 was a tough time in the job market though. So, for the next few months, I would pick up odd and end jobs until I could figure out and find something I was passionate about. Something I really wanted to do.
After a few months, I figured out that I wanted to work for a local business, figuring the smaller the better because I wanted to see the ends and outs of how a small business was run so that I could start my own business someday. So, I applied and was hired as a Sales and Marketing Associate at a local hot tub retail company in Nashville in February of 2011.
Learning Local SEO
One of my responsibilities while at the local hot tub retail company was to learn Local SEO and implement it. Most people looking for hot tubs start their search online for local hot tub retailers near them. So, Local SEO was incredibly important. After working there for awhile and learning Local SEO on the job, I realized I had become very good at it. In fact, I felt that I could perform just as well as the Local SEO company my boss had hired to supplement my own Local SEO work. He was paying this company $1,500 a month, which was almost as much as he paid me in total. So, you can see how I started to see opportunity.
Four months later, after an obviously short tenure, I was laid off due to the then-still-struggling economy. While I was working at the hot tub company, I decided to move forward with my own Local SEO company. I had gotten my logo, business cards, and website together and had even already pitched a few local businesses in Gatlinburg on a family vacation. I was prepared.
And the day I was laid off in June of 2011, Tutelary Marketing became a reality.
Momentum
I didn’t really start to develop any momentum in Tutelary Marketing until November of 2011. For those first 5 months, I made the mistake of trying to charge too much for something I didn’t have proven results in yet. I knew a lot about Local SEO but I didn’t have any prior work to back that up besides my results with my hot tub retail company. So, one day in November, I was praying and God told me to drop my price down for my Local SEO services and onboard a few clients for a 3-month trial at $99 a month, a price point far below what I was expecting. However, I listened, and by December I had 11 clients on that trial plan. When the trial came up I ended up keeping 7 of those clients at $300 a month. From there, Tutelary Marketing took off and I raised my prices steadily over time as my skills and knowledge increased.
