Veteran Business Owners
You started a business. Now what? Where are my customers?
Direction provides SEO and digital marketing services for veteran-owned businesses, run by a founder who spent three combat deployments in Army and intelligence work before building this company in 2016. We know what it takes to build something after service, so we work with veteran-owned businesses to get them found by the customers already searching for what they sell. The same skills that ran intelligence operations, finding the signal, reading the patterns, connecting the right people to the right answer, are the ones that get a business ranking in Google. One mission ended. This is the next one.
We are a US Veteran-owned SEO company
Direction was founded in 2016 by US Army veteran Chris Kirksey, who served three deployments in Iraq in combat and intelligence roles. That background shapes how the company runs, the same pattern-reading and follow-through that intelligence work demanded are what get a business ranking in search.
We work with fellow veterans because we recognize the work ethic service builds, and we know what it takes to start something after the uniform comes off. That’s why veteran-owned businesses are a group we go out of our way to help, getting them found through SEO by the customers already searching for what they sell.
Paid Media: Fast Visibility While SEO Builds
SEO builds over months, paid search puts you at the top of results within days. You pay only when someone clicks, and you see exactly which clicks turned into customers.
Web Design: A Site Built to Convert
We build fast sites that load in under three seconds and guide visitors straight to the action you want, a call, a form, a sale. You own every file, login, and domain from day one.
SEO: Customers Searching for You
We research the terms your customers use to find what you sell, then build your site to rank for them. More of the people already searching land on your site instead of a competitor's.
Full-Scale Marketing
Your SEO data sharpens your ads, your ad results feed your content, and your site ties it together. One team, one strategy, no vendor finger-pointing.
Get more sales through digital marketing
Most businesses need some mix of getting found, getting a site that converts, and getting in front of buyers fast. We run all three under one roof, so they work together instead of three vendors pointing fingers. Here’s how each one brings customers in.
