Why I Think Rabbit Rank is the Best SEO Agency in Austin (Yeah, I’m Biased, but Hear Me Out)

Let me start this off with a confession: I’m the co-founder of Rabbit Rank. Shocking, I know. So yeah, this is a little biased, but if you stick with me, I promise I’ll make my case.

And hey, if you’re an Austinite like me—chugging iced lattes in the sweltering heat and pretending you’re the one who discovered Torchy’s Tacos—you’ll get why I’m so passionate about this city. This isn’t just any SEO agency; Rabbit Rank is rooted in Austin energy. We’re weird (in a good way), we’re innovative, and—like everything else in this city—we’re growing fast.

But before I go full-on salesman, let me back up. This isn’t going to be one of those stiff, corporate-y blog posts full of buzzwords and graphs. You’re getting the real me, the same guy who’s still using too many sticky notes and Googles “how to write cooler emails” more often than I’d like to admit. This is the story of why I believe Rabbit Rank isn’t just good—it’s the best SEO agency in Austin.

Grab a cold one, kick back, and let’s talk about it.

How Rabbit Rank Got Started: The Humble Origin Story 🐇

Let’s rewind to a few years ago—back when I was knee-deep in freelance SEO work and surviving on caffeine and questionable takeout. I was that guy: hustling for small clients, pulling all-nighters, and Googling things like, “What’s the best SEO strategy for 2020?” (Spoiler: Everyone was wrong, including me.)

Around this time, I met Joyce de Castro, who was in the same SEO boat—minus the sleep deprivation. Together, we started noticing patterns in the industry that, quite frankly, sucked. Here’s what I mean:

1. Agencies were over-promising and under-delivering (sound familiar?).
2. Link-building was being done in a spammy, outdated way that did more harm than good.
3. No one was treating SEO like a real partnership. It was more of a “Here’s your rank; now leave us alone” kind of deal.

So, over a few late-night strategy sessions (and probably one too many tacos), we had our lightbulb moment: “Let’s do this ourselves. But better.” And that’s how Rabbit Rank was born. Our mission? To build a genuinely transparent, creative, and results-driven SEO agency that clients would actually enjoy working with.

Austin seemed like the perfect home base. It’s a city that thrives on creativity and collaboration—and it’s not afraid to be bold. Plus, y’know, the food trucks.

Why SEO Agencies Get Such a Bad Rap (and How We’re Different)

I get it: SEO isn’t sexy. It’s not the shiny thing you can hold up in a board meeting and say, “LOOK, I MADE THIS!” It’s more like planting a seed and waiting patiently for it to grow into a giant tree. And in a world where instant gratification is king, waiting sucks.

That’s probably why a lot of SEO agencies try to take shortcuts. They’ll:

• Buy cheap, spammy backlinks.
• Use black-hat techniques that Google absolutely hates.
• Promise you’ll hit #1 in two weeks (and ghost you when it doesn’t happen).

Honestly? It’s shady as hell. And it gives legit agencies a bad name.

Rabbit Rank flips the script. We focus on ethical, long-term strategies that actually work. (I know, revolutionary idea, right?) Here’s what we do differently:

1. We build real relationships. SEO is a marathon, not a sprint—and we’re with you for the whole ride. That means constant communication, transparency, and a true partnership.
2. Our link-building game is strong. And I don’t mean “throwing a bunch of backlinks at your site and hoping something sticks.” We create high-quality, niche-relevant links that Google loves. Think guest posts, curated links, and connections with legit websites—not spammy directories from the early 2000s.
3. We don’t just chase rankings; we chase results. Because who cares if you’re #1 for some random keyword no one’s searching for? We focus on traffic, conversions, and real ROI.

Austin Businesses Deserve Better SEO

If you run a business in Austin, you’re already competing in one of the most vibrant, fast-growing markets in the country. (Congrats, it’s exhausting.) From food trucks to tech startups to weird little niche shops, this city is FULL of creativity and hustle.

Rabbit Rank isn’t some cookie-cutter agency. We tailor our strategies to each client like we’re building a bespoke suit (but, y’know, for your website). Whether you’re a local coffee shop looking to dominate Austin search results or a SaaS startup aiming for nationwide traffic, we’ve got you covered.
