Garry Grant has worked in search engine optimization and digital marketing for over 29 years. As the founder and CEO of SEO Inc., he has built the company into a multi-service agency developing proprietary technologies and strategic solutions for complex enterprise search challenges. He has consulted for companies including Amazon, Target, and Walmart, and in 2023 led the launch of SEO Inc.’s AI solutions for SEO and content.
His results are measurable. Garry’s programmatic SEO work for Entrepreneur generated more than $2 million per month in organic value across a 1M+ page archive, validated by a third-party Frost & Sullivan audit. His managed properties hold near-perfect Core Web Vitals scores of 99 mobile and 100 desktop, and his off-page programs have recovered more than 60 Google manual and algorithmic penalties with a 100% success rate. For PG&E, he led a two-year digital transformation that restructured SEO architecture, UX, and content, cutting call volume 60% in seven months.
Under his leadership, SEO Inc. grew 1,576% over three years to earn a place on the Inc. 500 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America, was a finalist for SEO Agency of the Year by Clutch.co, and has been named a Top San Diego SEO Agency. Along the way he has built and scaled SEO, content, analytics, and technical teams of 150+, with content standards and governance tied directly to business goals.
Garry was an early mover in AI-driven search. He is the author of a published GEO / AEO and AI Overviews strategic framework, engineering structured data and EEAT signals built to win citations in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — not just traditional rankings.
He has been interviewed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, and Entrepreneur, has written for Business 2 Community and The Huffington Post, and has appeared on MSNBC and San Diego television networks. He has delivered keynotes including Hilton Global, with an audience of more than 4,000.
Garry began his online career in 1993, building web and e-business solutions for clients such as Homepage.com, The Rush Limbaugh Show, Premiere Radio Networks, Clear Channel Communications, and EarthLink. He was also a strategic contributor at Idealab / GoTo.com during the foundational development of paid search, the precursor to Google Ads.
In 2010, the University of California San Diego invited Garry to develop the nation’s first college-accredited SEO course for its business program: “SEO & SEM: The Fast Track to Search Engine Optimization and Marketing.” The updated course is now taught in-house at SEO Inc. and offered as virtual training to clients.
Before his digital career, Garry spent 17 years as a professional touring musician, including two years with Cutting Crew, sharing stages with artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, and composed commercial scores for BMW and Polaroid. That blend of creative performance and technical discipline still shapes how he approaches strategy today.
