About Elevate Local
Our Story
Elevate Local was founded by Ian Nunnally, a digital marketing professional with nearly a decade of experience in SEO and PPC. Ian’s journey began right after high school with a paid internship at two leading agencies: ADAO, a premium full-suite digital marketing agency, and UP Hotel Agency, a hospitality-focused agency working with hotels worldwide.
Since 2015, Ian has worked with businesses across industries—including builders, dentists, lawyers, hotels, and roofers—helping them increase visibility, attract new customers, and grow their bottom line. One of the biggest highlights of his career has been traveling internationally to meet clients and seeing firsthand how his work has helped businesses succeed around the globe.
Why We Started
After years in the industry, Ian saw too many agencies overselling services, locking clients into complicated contracts, or chasing quotas instead of results. Elevate Local was created to change that. Our mission is simple: deliver clear, effective, and honest marketing services that actually help your business grow.
We do this by:
- Offering month-to-month contracts with no long-term lock-in
- Providing transparent pricing and reporting
- Listening to your goals before recommending services
- Meeting in person or virtually to keep communication clear and personal
Our Approach
Working with Elevate Local means less stress and more clarity. We take a hands-off approach for clients. Our philosophy is built on transparency and long-term growth. If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust the strategy—or even advise if a service isn’t the right fit for your business.

At Elevate Local, we’re not just chasing short-term wins—we’re building long-term partnerships. Even if SEO or PPC isn’t needed forever, we’re here as a resource for the full scope of digital marketing, always ready to share ideas that help your business grow.
