--- title: "Seattle Digital Marketing Agency | Kihan Marketing" description: "A digital marketing agency from Seattle, handling SEO, web design, AI search, Google Ads and social media across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties." url: https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/seattle/ published: 2026-09-30 updated: 2026-10-21 --- # Seattle Digital Marketing Agency SEO, web design, AI search, Google Ads and social media Kihan Marketing is a digital marketing agency from Seattle. For businesses in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties we handle SEO, website design and development, AI search, Google and Meta Ads, local search and social media. Property management and med spas are specialties, because Seattle’s rental rules and Washington’s health data law shape how both can market. Lake Washington, Puget Sound and three county lines divide the Seattle market, and customers search by the name of the place where they live. We help them find you there, on Google and in AI answers. ## SEO company in Seattle As an SEO company in Seattle, we work on the two things that decide a local search here: the pages on your site and your Google Business Profile. Organic results rank the pages. The map pack ranks the profile, and it weighs how close you are to the person searching. [SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/seo/) for a Seattle-area business comes down to pages: one for each service you offer and one for each place you serve, from West Seattle to Everett. The City of Seattle holds under a fifth of the metro’s residents, so a site that names only Seattle leaves most of the market out. We handle the technical SEO, schema markup, content and link building behind those pages. We report from your own Search Console, so every number can be checked. For a cryotherapy studio in Renton, organic clicks in Google Search Console went from 180 to 761, July to September 2026 against the same months of 2025. Hiring a Seattle SEO company? Ask each one to show a client’s numbers with the months they cover, and to say which of the two systems is holding you back. - Technical SEO and site audits - Schema markup - Google Business Profile work - Content marketing that answers real questions - Link building - Pages for each community you serve - Search Console in your name ## Website design and development in Seattle We design and build [websites](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/) on WordPress or Next.js, with custom code where a site needs it. We choose the platform by how much the site needs to grow. We handle redesigns, speed work and maintenance too. Washington law reaches some sites directly. A business covered by the My Health My Data Act must keep a consumer health data privacy policy and link to it prominently from its homepage. A clinic site we build gets that link from the start. Our [ADA compliance](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/#ada-compliance) work tests a site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. We fix what fails, then test it again with a keyboard and a screen reader. It is technical work, not legal advice. - New websites and redesigns - WordPress development - Next.js, React and custom code - ADA compliance (WCAG 2.2 AA) - Speed work and maintenance ## Websites and results we are proud of ### Property manager A five-page AppFolio site rebuilt into more than 250 pages, with a page for every managed property. - Industry: Property management - Services: Website rebuild, Property pages [View the project](https://kihanmarketing.com/projects/pacific-crest-real-estate/) ### Cryotherapy studio Moved to a new website with its own booking page.

That work is called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO). Google says AI Overviews need no special markup, only pages it can index and show with a snippet. It also advises keeping your Business Profile current. So we write short answers an assistant can quote to what Seattle-area customers ask. Do you serve the east side of Lake Washington? Who performs your laser treatments? How do you handle rental applications under Seattle’s first-in-time rule? ### Google and Meta Ads Our digital advertising covers pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on [Google Ads](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/paid-ads/) and paid social on Facebook and Instagram. We can build TikTok and LinkedIn campaigns when they fit. Federal statistics split the Seattle metro into three divisions, one per county: Seattle-Bellevue-Kent, Tacoma-Lakewood and Everett. We usually give each county its own campaign, with ads that name the places in it. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport handled more than 52.7 million passengers in 2025. Google's default location setting also reaches people who have only shown interest in an area. For a local service we switch it to people in, or regularly in, the places you serve. LinkedIn ads suit business-to-business firms in King County, where professional, scientific and technical services and the information sector held nearly one job in five in 2024. ### Local SEO We handle [local SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/local-seo/) and the Google Business Profile itself: categories, services, hours, photos and a weekly review process. A Seattle company that also works in Bellevue cannot open a second profile at a virtual office there or put Bellevue in its business name. It lists up to 20 service areas instead. After the windstorm of November 19, 2024, King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci said hundreds of thousands of people lost power, internet access or both for many days. If a storm closes you for six days or fewer, set special hours on the profile. For a longer closure, mark it temporarily closed and post a notice on the website rather than taking it down. ### Social media Our [social media management](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/social-media/) follows the Seattle calendar. Opening Day, the first Saturday in May, brings a boat parade through the Montlake Cut. Seafair’s Torchlight Parade and Weekend Festival follow in late July and early August, and Bumbershoot fills Seattle Center over Labor Day weekend. Our [brand design](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/brand-design/) covers logos, identity, guidelines and the graphics your posts and ads use. That keeps the business looking the same on the site, the profile and every post. ## How the Seattle metro splits local search Local search around Seattle splits by water, by city and by unincorporated community. The metro covers King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, and Lake Washington and Puget Sound cut through the middle of it. 1. **The lake puts Bellevue on the other side.** Lake Washington separates Seattle from Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland, with the SR 520 floating bridge between them. Across Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island is a ferry ride away. Google's local results weigh distance to the searcher, so a Seattle listing does not automatically show for a search made in Bellevue. 2. **Seattle is one city of several.** Tacoma, Bellevue, Kent, Everett and Renton each have more than 100,000 residents. A business that serves them needs a page and a service area for each, not one page about Seattle. 3. **Unincorporated places are searched by name.** Nearly half of Pierce County’s residents, and more than two in five in Snohomish County, live outside any city. South Hill, an unincorporated community in Pierce County, has more people than Lakewood, the county’s second city by size. People search those names, from White Center to Martha Lake. ### Seattle metro in numbers - **4.16M** people in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, the Seattle metro, in 2025 - **56%** of occupied homes in the City of Seattle are rented, against 40% across the metro - **156** days in an average year with measurable rain at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport - **20.1M** riders on Washington State Ferries in 2025, up 5 percent from the year before ## Med spas, roofing, property management and real estate in Washington Washington has rules of its own for each of these industries, and Seattle adds more for landlords. In the Seattle area we rebuilt a property manager’s five-page AppFolio site into more than 250 pages. For a cryotherapy studio in Renton, we did the website, SEO and ads. ### Med spa and healthcare SEO Washington’s My Health My Data Act shapes our SEO, Google Ads and booking pages for Seattle med spas, from ad targeting to booking form consent. Washington’s My Health My Data Act limits geofences around places that give in-person health care. A geofence of 2,000 feet or less may not be used to track people seeking care, collect their health data or send them related ads. So we target a clinic’s ads by area, never by a ring drawn around it. Where the Act applies, a business needs a person’s consent to collect consumer health data, unless the data is needed for a service that person asked for. Booking forms, tracking pixels and retargeting lists are where that rule shows up. Under Medical Commission rule WAC 246-919-605, treating skin with a prescription laser, light, radiofrequency or plasma device is the practice of medicine. The patient must be told that a nonphysician may operate the device, and the physician stays responsible for their safety. So laser pages should say who supervises and who treats. - Washington rule: RCW 19.373.080 (My Health My Data Act) - Also: WAC 246-919-605 - Services: Med spa SEO, Google Ads, booking pages [Med spa SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/med-spa-marketing/med-spa-seo/) ### Roofing Seattle-area roofers get roofing SEO, storm pages and Google Ads from us, with the contractor registration number Washington requires on every ad. About three quarters of the rain at Seattle’s airport falls between October and March, and November is the wettest month. The City says many windstorms come in winter, and that falling trees do much of the damage. It also counts almost 90,000 Seattle homes built before 1939. Leak, moss and storm pages need to be live by early fall. In Washington, all advertising that shows a contractor’s name or address must show its current registration number. The same section bars advertising "bonded and insured" because of the bond and insurance the law requires, so we keep that phrase out of the copy. - Washington rule: RCW 18.27.100 - Wet season: October to March - Services: Roofing SEO, storm pages, Google Ads [Roofing marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/roofing-marketing/) ### Property management For Seattle property managers, Kihan Marketing builds websites whose owner FAQs, resident pages and applications follow the state rent cap and Seattle’s notice and screening rules. For most tenancies, Washington caps rent increases in any 12-month period at 7 percent plus the consumer price index, or 10 percent, whichever is less. It also bars any increase in the first 12 months of a tenancy. The state set the cap at 9.683 percent for 2026. Buildings that got their first certificate of occupancy within the last 12 years are among those exempt. State law asks for 90 days’ written notice of a rent increase. Inside Seattle, every housing cost increase needs 180 days. Seattle’s first-in-time rule also means giving notice of screening criteria in advance, time-stamping applications and offering the unit to the first qualified applicant. Owner FAQs, resident pages and online applications should match both. - Washington rule: RCW 59.18.700 rent cap - Seattle rule: 180 days’ notice of a housing cost increase - Also: Seattle first-in-time rule [Property management marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/) ### Real estate For Washington brokerages, our SEO and social media work keeps the firm’s licensed name on every page and post. In Washington, all advertising for brokerage services, web pages and email included, must carry the firm’s name or its licensed assumed name. A broker may advertise under a team or brand name without an assumed name license. That name may not suggest a separate company, with words such as "LLC" or "Inc.", or a firm, with words such as "realty" or "real estate". We build listing pages and neighborhood guides for brokerages and agents, from West Seattle to Kirkland, with the firm’s licensed name on every template. We also run the social posts and ads that bring buyers to them. - Washington rule: WAC 308-124B-210 - Our client: Real estate agency - Services: SEO and social media [See the real estate project](https://kihanmarketing.com/projects/island-dreams-realty/) More on [real estate marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/real-estate-marketing/), or see every industry we work with in the [portfolio](https://kihanmarketing.com/portfolio/). ## Who does the work **Kiran Dasgupta**, Founder and Lead Strategist.

An agency that knows this market will talk about Bellevue, Everett and South Hill, not just Seattle. 1. **Ask who holds the accounts.** Your Google Ads account, Business Profile, Search Console and domain should be registered to your business, so nothing is lost if you change agencies. 2. **Test them on Washington law.** A med spa agency should know what the My Health My Data Act says about geofences, and a roofing agency what RCW 18.27.100 requires in an ad. 3. **Ask how they would split the metro.** Seattle, the east side of Lake Washington, Tacoma and Everett each need their own pages and targeting. 4. **Ask for live sites, not a logo wall.** Open the work yourself and check what was built. 5. **Ask what the agreement covers and how either side ends it.** Have both written into the agreement before work starts. ## Your Seattle questions, answered ### How do you work with Seattle-area businesses? Remotely, inside accounts you own: your Google Ads, your Business Profile, your Search Console and your website. Every change is visible to you. ### Can I talk through a marketing strategy before hiring you? Yes. Kiran Dasgupta, our founder and lead strategist, takes free 30-minute strategy calls. You can book one on the contact page. ### Do you work in Bellevue, Tacoma and Everett too? Yes. We plan pages, profiles and ad targeting for each place you serve, including unincorporated communities such as White Center or South Hill. Google’s local results weigh how close a business is to the person searching. ### Do you offer ADA compliance work for Seattle websites? Yes. We test the site against WCAG 2.2 at level AA and fix what fails, such as color contrast, image descriptions, keyboard access, form labels and captions. Then we test it again with a keyboard and a screen reader. We do not use overlay widgets. It is technical work, not legal advice, and no one can promise a site will never be sued. ### Can a Washington med spa use geofenced ads? Not around a clinic. The My Health My Data Act covers any geofence of 2,000 feet or less around a place that gives in-person health care. It may not be used to track people seeking care, collect their health data or send them related ads. We target by area instead. ### How much notice does a Seattle rent increase need? Inside Seattle, any housing cost increase needs 180 days of written notice under Seattle Municipal Code 7.24.030. State law sets a minimum of 90 days for a rent increase. Listing and owner pages should say so. This is general information, not legal advice. ### What are AEO and GEO? Answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization: the work of getting your business named in Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. Think of someone asking an assistant which property managers cover West Seattle. It rests on indexable pages that answer real questions and an up-to-date Business Profile. ## Other city pages in the region - [Tacoma, Washington](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/tacoma/) - [Olympia, Washington](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/olympia/) - [Vancouver, Washington](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/vancouver-wa/) - [Portland, Oregon](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/portland/) - [Spokane, Washington](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/spokane/) ## Got a project in Seattle?
