I don't take accounts I can't run personally. The math works the other way around.
A decade-plus in technical SEO, conversion-focused web design, and the operator's version of digital marketing — the version where the only thing that matters is whether the phone rings or the cart fills.
Clint Butler is the founder of Digitaleer and the lead strategist on every engagement. A decade-plus into technical SEO, conversion-focused web design, and the operator's version of digital marketing — the version where the only metric that matters is whether the phone rings, the cart fills, or the calendar books.
Digitaleer exists because Clint kept watching operators get burned by agencies that confuse activity for outcomes. After ten-plus years of seeing the same patterns — bait-and-switch to junior AMs after kickoff, 12-month lockouts to "let it work," rankings that climb while revenue stays flat — he decided to build something different. The principle isn't complicated: the strategist who pitches you is the strategist running your account on day 180. No layer in between. No "your AM is on vacation" loops. No status emails that recap activity instead of moving the needle.
He works hands-on across SEO, paid, and web — running them as one funnel, not three silos with different managers and contradictory insights. Every audit is his audit. Every strategy doc is his doc, signed and named with the explicit bet that has to be true for it to succeed. Every monthly review is him on the call, in front of the dashboard, with an opinion about what changes next month. If you're going to write a check, you should know exactly who's writing the strategy.
He works with operators — founders, agency owners, senior marketing leads — who measure marketing in pipeline, not rankings. People who want a strategist they can argue with on the merits, not a sales rep optimizing for retention via paperwork. If you're looking for someone to run a $50k/year SEO retainer on auto-pilot with a quarterly "everything's on track" call, this isn't that.

No bait-and-switch. No "let me introduce your AM." If I pitched you, I run your account — same person, day 1 and day 180. If I can't take it on personally, I tell you, and I tell you who would be a better fit.
I won't sell a 12-month lockout. If what I'm doing for you stops being worth it, you should be free to leave on 30 days' notice. The only way to keep an account is to keep earning it — that's how I built mine, and that's how I'll run yours.
Rankings are a means. Pipeline is the end. If I drive your traffic up 200% and your phone doesn't ring more, I will say so on the call, name what's broken in the conversion path, and prioritize fixing it. Position 1 with zero conversions isn't a win — it's a fight I won't have on month nine of an engagement.
Some operators need a $5k/mo retainer. Some need a $500/hr consult. Some need to go in-house. Some need an agency I'd refer them to, not me. I won't sell you a service you don't need just because I'm the one selling. The discovery call is the audit of whether this is even a fit — for both of us.
