Locations We Serve

MarketKeep is a digital marketing agency headquartered in Towson, Maryland, at 40 West Chesapeake Avenue. Since 2016, we have worked with small business owners who needed more than generic marketing advice. They needed someone who understood their industry, their competition, and what it actually takes to show up when a customer is searching online. That is what we do.

We work with two types of clients: businesses in the Greater Baltimore area who want a local agency they can call, and trade contractors across the United States who need an SEO partner that understands the home service industry. Both groups get the same thing: a focused strategy, hands-on execution, and a clear picture of what is working.

Serving Small Businesses Across Greater Baltimore

Our office is in Towson, which puts us in the middle of one of the most active small business corridors in Maryland. Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Harford County, Howard County, and Anne Arundel County are all markets we know well because our clients operate in them every day.

If you own a business in this region and you are struggling to show up on Google, you are competing against companies that have been investing in SEO for years. We help level that playing field by building the kind of local search presence that actually generates calls, form submissions, and booked appointments.

Towson and Baltimore County

Towson is our home base. We have worked with businesses along York Road, in the Towson Town Center corridor, and throughout Baltimore County since we opened in 2016. If you are a contractor, a professional service firm, or a small business owner in Towson who is not showing up on page one, that is a problem we know how to fix.

Baltimore City

Baltimore is our largest single market. We work with businesses across the city ranging from Federal Hill to Canton to Hampden to Fells Point.  Helping them build organic search visibility in a competitive environment like Smalltimore. Baltimore has real search volume for agency, SEO, and contractor services, and our local knowledge of the market makes a difference in how we approach keyword strategy and content.

The Broader Maryland Region

We regularly work with businesses throughout the following areas:

• Harford County: Bel Air, Abingdon, Fallston, Forest Hill, Havre De Grace
• Howard County: Columbia, Ellicott City, Laurel, Elkridge
• Anne Arundel County: Annapolis, Pasadena, Glen Burnie, Severna Park
• Northern Baltimore County: Cockeysville, Timonium, Hunt Valley, Lutherville, Owings Mills
• Carroll and Frederick Counties: Westminster, Mt. Airy, Frederick

Being local is not just a talking point for us. It means we understand the competitive landscape your business operates in, the seasonal patterns that affect your search demand, and the geographical nuances that shape how people in this region search for services. 

SEO for Small Business Owners Across the United States

The second group of clients we serve is small business owners across the United States. These include businesses in the trades and home improvement industries. We work with painting contractors in Texas, flooring companies in Ohio, deck builders in Georgia, electricians in California, and landscapers in the Pacific Northwest.

This is not remote-work-as-a-workaround. It is our actual business model. Search engine optimization is not geography-dependent. What matters is understanding your trade, your competition, and your local search market, not whether we can drive to your shop. We have spent years building our knowledge of how trade contractor clients search for services, what keywords drive calls versus tire-kickers, and how Google evaluates local service businesses in competitive markets.

Who We Work With Nationally

We specialize in SEO and digital marketing for home service and trade contractor businesses including:

• Painting contractors
• Flooring companies and hardwood floor specialists
• Deck builders and outdoor living contractors

If your trade is not on this list, it does not mean we cannot help you. Our SEO process is built to work for any service business with a defined geographic service area and a need to rank in Google Maps organic search results. Contact us and we will tell you if we are the right fit.

What Working With MarketKeep Actually Looks Like

We are a small agency, which means the person you talk to in your initial consultation is the same person doing the work on your account. Patrick Kurowski founded MarketKeep in 2016 and has been the primary strategist on every engagement since. We do not hand your project to a junior team member after the pitch.

Over the past decade we have worked with more than 250 clients across the United States, building search visibility for small businesses in industries ranging from home services to healthcare to law. That experience is built into how we approach every new engagement: with a clear audit of where you are, a realistic assessment of what it will take to compete, and a strategy built around your specific market.

Our Process in Plain Language

• We evaluate your current website, keyword rankings, and Google Business Profile to understand exactly where you stand.
• We identify the keywords with the best combination of search volume and realistic competition for your market.
• We build or rewrite your website content to match what Google needs to understand your business and what your customers need to trust you enough to call.
• We optimize your Google Business Profile and help you build the local signals that drive map pack rankings.
• We track everything and report on what actually matters: rankings, traffic, and leads.

We do not sell SEO packages. We sell outcomes. Every engagement starts with understanding your business goals and working backward from there to build a strategy that makes sense.

What Clients Have To Say About MarketKeep

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with businesses outside of Maryland?

Yes. While our office is in Towson, Maryland, the majority of our trade contractor clients are located across the United States. We work remotely with painting contractors, flooring companies, deck builders, electricians, and other home service businesses in dozens of states. If you are a trade contractor looking for SEO help, location is not a barrier.

What is the difference between your Towson and Baltimore service areas?

Towson is where we are physically located, in Baltimore County. Baltimore City is a separate market with its own competitive landscape, keyword patterns, and search behavior. We build distinct strategies for businesses in each area rather than treating them as interchangeable. If you are in Towson specifically, we can meet in person. If you are in Baltimore City or anywhere else in the region, we typically work remotely with the same results.

Can you help me rank in Google Maps for Towson?

Yes, and for most small businesses in Towson, Google Maps visibility is actually the fastest win available. When someone searches for a service in Towson, the three businesses that appear in the map pack above the organic results get the majority of clicks — and those rankings are driven by a different set of signals than traditional SEO.

Google Maps rankings in Towson depend on three core factors: how complete and optimized your Google Business Profile is, how consistent your business name, address, and phone number appear across the web, and how many recent, relevant reviews your listing has accumulated. We manage all three as part of our local SEO service.

You are already familiar with what a strong Google Business Profile can do. MarketKeep maintains a presence in the Towson 3-Pack with over 40 reviews. We apply the same optimization process to our clients’ profiles that we use on our own.

Do you offer website design in Towson?

Yes. Website design is one of our three core services alongside SEO and Google Ads, and we work with businesses throughout Towson and Baltimore County on new builds, redesigns, and existing site improvements.

Every website we build is designed around one outcome: turning visitors into customers. That means fast load times, mobile-first layouts, clear calls to action, and an SEO structure built in from page one, not added as an afterthought. We build on WordPress and Divi, which gives you full ownership of your site with no vendor lock-in. When the project is done, your domain, your hosting, and every piece of content belongs entirely to you.

If you are in the Towson area and want to meet in person to discuss a website project, we are available at our office at 40 West Chesapeake Avenue. Remote consultations are equally available for businesses throughout the region.

Do I need to be local to work with MarketKeep?

No. Our process is fully remote-capable. We conduct everything via video call, email, and shared documents. Most of our current client relationships have never involved an in-person meeting, including some of our longest-running engagements.

What makes you different from other digital marketing agencies in Baltimore?

Most agencies try to serve every industry. We have a specific focus on small businesses and trade contractors, which means our keyword research, content strategy, and competitive analysis are built around the way your customers search, not the way a generic small business searches. We also do not outsource work overseas or assign junior team members to accounts. When you work with MarketKeep, you work with Patrick directly.
