About Enleaf

Enleaf was founded in 2009. The first two years were spent on website design and development, and the company stepped into SEO and digital marketing around year three. Adam Chronister, our founder, started his career in software development before pivoting into digital marketing shortly after college. The early focus was small-to-mid-sized businesses that could not afford the overhead of a large agency but did not want to hand their work to an unsupervised junior.

Adam, on how the company started: “I found out that there was this middle market of small business owners that couldn’t afford the overhead that large agencies had to offset on their clients, but also didn’t want to just throw their business to somebody out of college or a cousin down the street. Out of that, Enleaf was birthed.“

That founding focus has held through 17 years. We work with small-to-mid-sized businesses, regional brands, and enterprise clients who want senior-strategist attention without the layered account management that comes with a 200-person agency.

Our internal motto: design, develop, refine. The order is intentional: design the right strategy, develop the right deliverables, then refine based on what the data says.

How Enleaf Is Structured

Enleaf operates as a virtual agency with team members across the US and abroad. Adam, on the structure: “We’ve been very much what I like to call a virtual company, even before COVID, because we have team members all over the place.” The setup gives the company deep technical, content, and PR capacity at agency-friendly economics, which is what makes the price points achievable for the SMB and mid-market clients who are our core audience.

The team covers technical SEO, content strategy and production, link building and digital PR, web design and development, paid media, branding, and AI SEO. Each discipline has senior practitioners. Account work is staffed with strategist continuity in mind: the strategist who runs your audit runs your program through the duration of the engagement.

Adam, on the team structure: “We’ve resisted too much growth because our core audience is small to mid-sized businesses. Entrepreneurship is in our DNA.”

8 criteria

Client Size Sweet Spot

Enleaf works best with two client profiles:

Small-to-mid-sized businesses

Annual revenue from $1 million to $25 million, typically with one in-house marketing person or a small team. Engagements average $4,000 to $9,000 per month for combined SEO and AI SEO work. The client gets senior-strategist attention without the overhead of a 200-person agency.

Regional brands and growing enterprise

Annual revenue from $25 million to $500 million, often with a larger marketing team and an in-house SEO function. Engagements average $10,000 to $25,000 per month and combine AI SEO, traditional SEO, content marketing, and digital PR into a coordinated program. Enleaf operates as a strategic partner alongside the in-house team rather than replacing them.

We have worked with larger enterprise clients (DFW Airport, University of Idaho) but our preferred fit is the SMB to mid-market range where senior-strategist continuity has the highest impact on outcomes.

"We get to be very instrumental part of their growth and their strategy. And that's the stuff we love. Entrepreneurship is in our DNA."

What Enleaf Stands For

The company runs on a few principles that shape every engagement.

Data tells the story

Adam, on how Enleaf approaches strategy: we are very data-first, and we let the data tell the story. Decisions get made on the data, not on opinion or vendor preference.

Build it right the first time

The website design background means every digital marketing engagement starts with a critical look at the site itself. Most clients come to us mid-redesign or in need of a redesign before the digital marketing work can stick. Adam’s framing on this: “Our big sales pitch is: we’re going to build this right the first time.”

Honest about scope

We will tell you when AI SEO is not the right first investment. We will tell you when traditional SEO matters more than the new shiny channel. We will tell you when your foundation needs a quarter of fix-it work before any visibility-building program will compound. About 10% of our discovery calls end with us recommending a different service or a different agency.

Partnership, not vendor relationship

Adam, on how Enleaf positions the relationship: “We like to position ourselves not just as a vendor or a client, but really a partner in the businesses that we work with. We want to be essentially the marketing arm for the businesses that engage with us.”

Our Process

Your First 60 Days With Enleaf

Spokane engagements tend to move at the same predictable pace. Here is what the first two months look like.

Strategy Call

A 30-minute call with one of our strategists, usually in our Spokane office or over video. We review your current site, traffic, Google Business Profile, and competitors before the meeting so we arrive with questions, not a generic pitch deck.

Audit & Benchmark

Over the next two weeks we run a full audit: technical SEO, keyword rankings, paid ad history, content gaps, and a competitive picture of the Spokane market. You receive a written report with prioritized fixes.

Custom digital marketing strategy

We build a plan sized to your budget and business today, with phased deliverables across 90-day sprints. Nothing we propose is boilerplate.

Production

Content creation, page builds, ppc campaigns, social posts, email campaigns, local SEO work, and link acquisition, whatever the plan calls for. Our internal production team handles it.

Report & Iterate

Monthly reporting against the metrics we agreed on up front, and quarterly strategy resets to adjust based on what is working.

Our Process

Why Hire Enleaf for AI SEO Specifically

The AI SEO category is full of agencies that launched in the last two years. Enleaf is a 17-year-old SEO company that has applied its existing capacity (technical SEO, content production, link building, digital PR, original research) to the AI search problem and added the entity-and-consensus layer that AI systems weight specifically.

The result: AI SEO programs that produce results because the foundation underneath has already been running for over a decade. Most newer entrants in the category have the AI-specific tactics but lack the underlying SEO discipline that makes those tactics produce sustained visibility.

The published Authority Engineering methodology is the part that ties the company specifically to AI SEO. The framework is the methodology Enleaf runs, written down with case studies and diagnostic tests included. Buyers can read the book before the second sales call. Most AI SEO companies cannot offer that.
