Your SEO & Content Strategists
Partnering with finance and real estate brands like you to provide the knowledge, tools, and strategies to succeed in the competitive online landscape.
Our Story
with our blog How To FIRE.
In an already ‘saturated’ space, we grew How To FIRE to over 75,000 page views per month with over 20,000 social media followers & email subscribers. In August 2020, Mediavine could not help but notice us, and we added them to the ways our site provided us with recurring revenue.
We then spent years crafting the most cost- and time-effective solutions to increasing organic traffic. Our content creation and search engine optimization services are based on methods we’ve fine-tuned on our own sites and others so we can efficiently maximize results on yours.
We then turned our expertise into brand work with:
Meet ‘S and J’, the faces behind our agency

SIMBA — CHIEF SPIRIT OFFICER
Master of Wiggles & Snores
Simba is an eight-year-old yellow Labrador retriever who has captured her DINK parents’ hearts. She spends her days curled up under her Mom’s desk, snoring (many times heard on Zoom calls or Loom recordings). When not asleep, she scavenges for crumbs, knocks things over with her wiggly tail, watches over her chicken sisters, and shows her talents by holding multiple toys in her mouth at once. Simba’s happy spirit and trick of knowing how to ‘reach for the stars’ (thanks Mom!) encourages her team and SJDS clients to do the same.

We’ve built packages for easy decisions that we know work for our clients. That said, we will never try to squeeze you into a one-size-fits-all solution. We adapt our services to your needs so we can best help you reach your goals.
Our 'Find Your Needs' Framework
We provide strategic support that is customizable. Within our three-step framework, we have a clear and easy path for you to find what you need.

“I highly recommend John and Sam’s services. I have worked with them several times, including updating older blog articles to improve length, quality, and SEO. They have also helped provide feedback on my eBook, including style, format, and grammar. Overall working with them has been a pleasure. They provide fast, courteous, and excellent service.”
