Brandan Boylan.

Brandan Boylan has spent his career on one side of marketing: the side where a search turns into a phone call. Paid media, organic search, landing pages and the unglamorous technical work underneath all of it.

He has built thousands of websites and worked on search visibility for tens of thousands of businesses — the overwhelming majority of them local operators competing for the same three map pack positions their competitors want.

That volume is where the method came from. Running the same playbook across that many markets makes it obvious what actually moves a business up the page and what is agency theater: structure beats spend, reviews are a ranking input and not a vanity metric, and a website you cannot take with you was never really yours.

He founded Front Page Ranking to do that one thing, properly, for a small number of clients at a time — one per service category per market, so the work is never split between two businesses who want the same customers.

Where the experience comes from

Search marketing across agency and in-house teams, currently including work at Now Media Group, and previously founding Dallas Media Marketing — the subject of a VoyageDallas feature interview on building an agency in the Dallas market.

The through-line is local. Not enterprise SEO, not ecommerce, not brand campaigns. Businesses whose customers find them on a map and decide in ninety seconds.
