About Growth Marketing

Why Choose Us?

The SEO Problem Most Agencies Won’t Tell You About

Your website might be bleeding potential customers—and you’d never know it from looking at your traffic numbers.

Here’s what I mean: A roofing company we worked with had “good” traffic. But their conversion rate was dismal. Why? Their site took 8 seconds to load on mobile, had broken forms, and ranked for keywords that didn’t match customer intent.

After 15 years auditing hundreds of websites across industries, I’ve learned this: Most businesses have fixable problems costing them real revenue. The challenge is knowing which problems to fix first.

That’s why Growth Marketing exists.

Brad Broekema

Founder – Head of Search Strategy
I started in digital marketing in 2009 and launched Growth Marketing in 2013 after watching too many businesses get sold snake oil-like the “3,000 backlinks in 2 weeks” packages that trigger Google penalties instead of rankings.
My background is technical SEO across diverse platforms and industries: Shopify, WordPress, custom builds. Local contractors, ecommerce brands, Fortune 500 companies.
This range matters because patterns emerge-you start seeing which strategies transcend industry and which need customization.
What drives me now? Working with businesses that have genuine growth potential but haven’t unlocked it yet. Maybe that’s you.

Three Types of Businesses We Help

The Technical Trouble Case

Your website has invisible issues (slow load times, indexation problems, mobile issues) that suppress rankings. You know something’s wrong but can’t pinpoint it.

The Missing Foundation

You haven’t set up proper SEO basics—Google Business Profile optimization, site structure, technical health. You’re competing with one hand tied behind your back.

The Untapped Potential

You’re getting results without focusing on SEO. Imagine what happens when you actually optimize.

OUR ROOTS

Founded in 2013 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul suburb of Eagan to help businesses GROW

After seeing peers struggle to get their website online and gain any visibility we wanted to do something to help. From roofers to plumbers, luxury fashion to education and local small businesses to international fortune 500 companies. We look beyond digital marketing and SEO to operations, customer service and technology. We can’t help everyone but for those that qualify we will work hard to deliver real world results to your businesses bottom line.

Years of SEO Experience

We focus on long-term results rather than shortcuts that cause future problems. Many SEO tricks are simply not worth the short term gains.

Google Algorithm Updates

Google is constantly changing and we are watching, testing and tracking. Through the years we have seen it all and we adapt our strategies to get results.
