We started Makarios with one belief: SEO should be judged by revenue, not rankings. Today we help local businesses and e-commerce companies turn organic search into their most reliable growth channel.
Too many agencies sell rankings, fluff reports, and locked-in contracts, then disappear when it’s time to prove results. We built Makarios to be the opposite: a partner that reports in plain English and measures success the way you do, in leads, calls, and revenue.
We stay deliberately senior and hands-on. There are no juniors learning on your account, no cookie-cutter packages, and no long-term contracts. Every strategy starts with a real audit of your market, your competitors, and the search behavior of your ideal customer.
From a Buffalo law firm growing organic calls from 24 to 42 a month, to e-commerce companies growing organic revenue 3x, our work is built to compound, month after month.
Strategy > Tactics
We don’t blindly build backlinks or stuff keywords. Every move supports a long-term, ROI-driven strategy tied directly to your business goals.
Performance Over Promises
No lock-in contracts, no fluff reports. You’ll see progress fast, more traffic, better leads, or measurable revenue growth.
Clarity In Every Step
You’ll always know what we’re doing and why. Transparent communication, plain-English reports, and strategy calls that feel like team meetings.
Built for Collaboration
We partner with you like an in house team, without the overhead. We adapt to your pace, goals, and capacity to execute.
A senior, hands-on team. You work directly with the people doing the work.
Founder & SEO Strategist
Jason Davis was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, and spent seven years inside marketing agencies before starting Makarios Marketing. He kept seeing the same two problems: employees treated as billable hours, and clients sold work that never showed up in their revenue. He thought he could do it better, with a focus on the local service industry, the businesses he understands best, because that is where the right SEO turns directly into calls and booked jobs.
He named the agency Makarios, the Greek word for blessed that Jesus uses to open the Sermon on the Mount, because it says what he wants to be true for every client, employee, and business in the community that works with us. It is also why Makarios refuses long-term contracts that lock you in, which is how most of the owners who call us were burned before, and never guarantees rankings. Once the research shows where the opportunities are, we are confident we can win them, and we let the results keep the client.
Jason grew Makarios mainly on TikTok, posting an SEO video every day for three years as Jason the SEO Guy, showing business owners how local search actually works. He still runs every strategy call himself, and his goal is simple: to become one of the best SEO people in the space, and to build the agency he wished he had worked for.
We’re headquartered in Buffalo, NY, and work with local businesses, service brands, and e-commerce companies across the USA, UK, and Canada.
We stay deliberately small and senior, dedicated specialists across local SEO, technical SEO, content, and link building, so you always work directly with the person doing the work.
No. Every strategy, audit, and piece of content is handled in-house by our team, never outsourced to overseas subcontractors.
We’ve been helping businesses grow through SEO since our founding, with a growing track record of case studies across law, home services, real estate, and e-commerce.
No long-term contracts, no cookie-cutter packages, and no fluff reporting. We measure success in leads, calls, and revenue, the same way you do.

No long-term contracts. Most SEO agencies lock clients into twelve-month contracts because the results will not hold them on their own. That is how most of the business owners who call us got burned before. We work month to month and keep clients by delivering.
No guaranteed rankings. Anyone who guarantees a number-one ranking is guessing or lying, and we will not do either. We do the research first. Once we have found the real opportunities for your business, we are confident we can win them, and our case studies show what that looks like when it works.
No one treated like a number. Makarios exists because Jason saw employees and clients treated poorly at other agencies. You will talk to the people doing the work, you will see what was done each month, and you will know what it produced.
Makarios Marketing is a Buffalo-based business, and Jason was born and raised here. When a Buffalo contractor or a Rochester law firm tells us which neighborhoods they want more calls from, we already know the map.
We put a strong emphasis on the local community, from the businesses we help grow to the people we hire, and our Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse clients get a team that treats their market as home. The same playbook works for service businesses anywhere in the United States, and we serve clients coast to coast.
What Makarios means. Makarios is the Greek word for blessed, the word Jesus uses to open the Sermon on the Mount: blessed are those who… We chose it because it says what we want to be true for everyone we work with. Clients should be better off for hiring us, the people on our team should be better off for working here, and the community around us should feel it too.
