About Rank Hawks: An Austin SEO Team That Answers to Results
Rank Hawks is an SEO and AI search agency based in Austin, Texas. For more than five years we’ve done SEO for marketing agencies under their brands, and directly for local businesses that need more of the right calls.
How We Got Here
Rank Hawks started as a one-person SEO consultancy. Most early clients came to us after a bad experience elsewhere: monthly reports full of keywords nobody searched, traffic that never turned into business, and no one who could explain what had been done.
So we built the agency around the opposite. Every report starts with calls and leads. Every task is listed with the page or listing it touched. If something isn’t working, we say so.
Agencies started asking whether we could do the same for their clients under their name, and that became our white label program. Today we work across more than 30 industries. Most of our clients are medical practices, law firms, home service companies and the agencies that serve them.
When Google added AI Overviews and people started asking ChatGPT for recommendations, we added that to every campaign rather than selling it as a separate product.
How We Work
A few rules we don’t bend.
We report on leads first
Rankings and traffic are in the report, but the first section is always calls, forms and bookings. That’s what you’re paying for.
No ranking guarantees
Google says plainly that nobody can guarantee rankings. We commit to the work, the timeline and full transparency instead.
You can see every change
Each update lists the URLs we edited, the links we built and the listings we fixed, so you can check our work.
White hat only
No private blog networks, no spun content, no tricks that put your domain at risk a year from now.
