Where the public evidence points
Bruce Clay Inc remains active and eligible, but its profile required a careful operating-continuity refresh after founder Bruce Clay's death in June 2026. The current U.S. site still offers technical and content SEO, local search, AI-result visibility, paid media, tools and training, and publishes named operations and software leaders. The directory now uses the current Moorpark correspondence base, removes unsupported price and headcount bands, and flags conflicting location copy rather than treating older Simi Valley details as unquestionably current.
Nearly three decades of documented search consulting, tooling and professional training
Current scope connects technical SEO, content, local search, AI-result visibility, paid media and measurement
Public case library includes migration, SaaS and manufacturing recoveries with comparison periods and organic metrics

Questions for the sales call
- Ask who now owns executive accountability, search strategy and client escalation after the founder's June 2026 death.
- Confirm the current physical operating location, named account team, implementation hours and any subcontracting.
- Request a current comparable case with raw Search Console, analytics and conversion baselines rather than relying only on the older public library.
What this profile does not prove
- The site remains active, but its homepage still contains some present-tense founder language after the company's June 2026 death announcement.
- Current pages conflict between a Moorpark correspondence address and an older Simi Valley office, so the directory uses the newer footer base and flags the discrepancy.
- No current total employee count or SEO price is published, and two selected cases anonymize the client.
