Our story
Fort Worth's small business digital marketing team — since 2007
We started Hometown SEO Store because we were tired of watching small businesses get burned by big agencies that overpromised and underdelivered. Seventeen years later, that's still why we show up every day.
How it all started
Back in 2007, the internet was changing everything for small businesses — but most of the help available was either too expensive, too complicated, or came from agencies that treated small clients like an afterthought.
We built Hometown SEO Store to be different. No corporate overhead, no junior account managers, no cookie-cutter strategies. Just a tight-knit Fort Worth team that genuinely cares about the businesses we work with.
Today we work exclusively with small businesses and solo owners across the DFW Metroplex and beyond. Our clients aren't just accounts — they're neighbors, and we treat them that way.
