Our Backstory
Chris Kirksey, a former US Army Linguist and Signals Intelligence Lead, founded Direction Inc. in 2016. Sure, it was a pipe dream starring a couple of guys, their MacBooks, and a closet full of nerf guns, but by grit and grind, we grew into an award-winning SEO Firm. Today, we help business owners realize their goals and figure out the next milestone to tackle.
We believe in being serious about service and results, but not taking ourselves too seriously. We’re not here to lock you into a long contract where nothing happens until the end. We want you to have the flexibility to address your business’s specific needs and create measurable ROI in short order.
We love helping you get to do what you love and build something that can grow with time and smart work—not just hard work. (But there’s plenty of that, too.)

Dedicated To Growth.
Life seems to be happening on the Internet more and more, right? We’re here to help your business show up on the digital landscape.
Algorithms rule our lives and our economy, which is why we make it our business to know them inside and out—so you can use them to your advantage.
Let’s be honest. These rules change every few months, if not more often. Google updates. Best practices evolve.
If you don’t have someone managing those changes and making sure your digital footprint aligns with the moment, sales opportunities are passing you by. We dig into the details, analyze the data, and create impactful marketing campaigns that can help you reach your strategic growth goals efficiently and pivot when it makes sense.
We partner with hard-working business owners who give their all every single day toward missions that matter. Our job is to help you do your job better by increasing your visibility online, driving more inbound leads, and boosting your sales with digital marketing.
They Said it Best.
