An Expert Partner, Not a Bloated Agency.
Founder Story
My name is John Dixon. I've been a New Englander for 34 years, and I'm currently based in the granite state of New Hampshire. Before starting Rising Tides SEO, I spent over a decade in technical roles, where I learned to value systems, efficiency, and measurable results.
I started this company because I saw too many local businesses getting burned by traditional marketing agencies. They were paying high retainers for vague promises, confusing reports, and a chaotic process.
Rising Tides SEO is the antidote to that.
I run a solo operation (with a trusted network of design contractors) built on an automation-first mindset. This allows me to deliver high-level, consistent work without the overhead and bloat of a typical agency. My focus is on plain talk, shipping work every month, and tying every action back to a measurable outcome.

Why New England Context Matters
I understand the local market because I'm part of it. I know that a customer in the Seacoast region searches differently than one in the North Country. I know that trust is earned through straightforward communication and consistent results. This local insight is baked into every strategy we build.
