About Us
As a leading provider of search engine optimization (SEO) services, developer of the SEOToolSet and Search Engine Relationship Chart, Bruce Clay, Inc. is one of the best known search engine optimization firms in the world. Since 1996 our clients have enjoyed high rankings from a proven, time-tested methodology using our state-of-the-art spam-free techniques.
Today our clients range from small proprietors to large Fortune 500 firms - and all sizes and markets in between. In fact, some of our clients are other SEO firms that hire us to assist them on complex projects. Such strategic partnerships benefit all involved and allow clients to receive additional resources and expertise when needed.
Founded in 1996, bruceclay.com has been an exceptionally popular website for SEO "free advice" and services. The web site offers advanced step-by-step methodologies and interactive tools on all aspects of search engine optimization. As measured by Alexa, bruceclay.com ranks in the top one percent of all web sites visited.
As a leading SEO professional, Bruce Clay is perhaps best known as a speaker at Search Engine Strategies Conferences since 1999, as a speaker at the WebmasterWorld conference, as creator of the Search Engine Relationship Chart, for authoring the Search Engine Optimization Code of Ethics, and for the free and subscription based SEOToolSet products. Bruce is commonly quoted in magazines (Wired was the latest) and newspapers (USA Today was the latest) on search engine subjects.
Bruce Clay, Inc. offers clients exceptionally detailed and comprehensive SEO services that generally provide long-lasting top-10 rankings for very competitive terms. While all services are SEO focused, we also offer additional internet marketing services such as PPC management (and click fraud reporting), ad placement, campaign management, and advanced training classes.

A core component of any project is the ability to analyze the competition and to properly re-engineer the HTML of a client web site to maximize search engine ranking. We have invested heavily in the development of proprietary tools that facilitate the analysis of web sites (see SEOToolSet) including those of our competition. We then utilize this technology to edit the client site, create additional content as needed, and to submit/monitor the progress to maximize the overall search engine ranking.
Bruce Clay, Inc. is a privately held California company and we do not publish financial reports. However our firm is and has been profitable since it began in 1996. Our facility is located in Southern California, is approximately 4200 square feet, and is fully equipped with T-1 connections, class and conference facilities, and all of the other standard business amenities.
Our philosophy is to view clients as partners. This ensures the success of our products in every implementation. Once we begin a project, that client can rest assured that every employee is aware of the details of the project, and that we are all prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure the implementation succeeds.
Bruce Clay, Inc. has established an industry reputation as a high-quality and effective technology provider in the area of search engine optimization. We are exceptionally well known in the industry and maintain a truly colleague-level ongoing relationship with other industry leaders. Our expert implementation staff has an industry reputation of excellence in utilizing our technology know-how in a quick and efficient manner and at a pace and depth that assures success.
Three main things affect industry reputation.
- It is our unique ability to provide highly efficient proprietary technology that has allowed us to deliver quality rankings in very short periods of time. These tools include (in part) research, detailed site analysis and revisions, reporting, and link building tools.
- In other instances it is the world-respected content at our web site that has resulted in significant praise from colleagues and site clients. We have been a multi-year repeat presenter at major industry conferences (Search Engine Strategies in particular), we are a 5-star rated SEO firm according to the Marketing Sherpa Guide, and we are highly recommended by Search Engine Watch (a division of internet.com). We authored the SEO Code of Ethics and created the Search Engine Relationship Chart -- now an industry standard. Virtually all of our competition knows who we are and respects our accomplishments.
- In all cases, the major beneficiary of the technology is the customer where high rankings are the number one objective. By way of example we offer these items of proof:
- The ranking of our site itself. Using the major industry recognized keywords sought by ALL sites competing for your business, our site has a great overall ranking across the major search engines. Certainly any good SEO firm will have achieved high rankings for these major industry keywords in competition with their peers, and we offer ourselves as an example. Our competition is left in the dust (see our report).
- The ranking of our client sites. We have a great many well-ranked clients with high-traffic keywords or a great deal of competition.
- The third-party monitoring of praise and complaints by WebAssured.
- We are one of the few firms to have written proprietary SEO tools including search engine code. We are one of the handful of firms with the depth of knowledge to perform client training on advanced SEO tactics. And we are universally recognized by name as one of the top firms in the world.
In all cases Bruce Clay, Inc. stands as one of the best SEO firms in the world.
Building upon years of experience gained through successful hands-on implementations of internet marketing solutions, Bruce Clay, Inc. currently has exceptional skills allowing the company to take a leadership position in the search engine optimization solutions market. Bruce Clay, Inc. brings a wealth of practical business-user oriented focus and Return On Investment (ROI) strategy and tactical advice to all of our client partners.

Bruce Clay, Inc.'s strategy focuses on obtaining Search Engine rankings that enable businesses and organizations to exceed their strategic objectives and goals. In the future, it is expected that this focus will propel your sites to higher traffic levels and thus greater significance as an asset of your business.
