Open HypeStat sourceBuyer decision brief
Where the public evidence points
AIS Media qualifies through a current company-published 1997 founding, Atlanta headquarters, visible founder/co-founder and outcome-led SEO cases. Current marketing pages sometimes say 'nearly 20 years,' which conflicts with the explicit 1997 date; the date-specific current company bio is used and the inconsistency is disclosed. Only two leaders are named on the public agency page, so 2-10 is a conservative visible-team band, not an employee estimate.

The public leadership page names founder Thomas Harpointner and co-founder Denise Maling
Recent cases tie SEO to qualified leads and sales pipeline, with older local cases adding traffic and lead evidence

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm the total employee and contractor roster, which named leaders remain hands-on and who owns technical, content, authority and reporting work.
- Request analytics, CRM and pipeline exports behind a comparable case with absolute lead counts, definitions and attribution windows.
- Obtain the exact monthly fee, term, content cadence, implementation allowance, tooling, link standards and cancellation rights.
What this profile does not prove
- Current company pages conflict between an explicit 1997 founding and 'nearly 20 years' language; the date-specific current founder biography is used.
- The 2-10 band reflects two publicly named leaders and is not a verified total headcount or guarantee of in-house delivery.
- All selected outcomes are company-authored, and some combine technical SEO with content, local-profile or conversion work.
