A Smarter Way to Approach SEO, Ads and Design

Marketing works better when it’s built on experience—not trends, templates or guesswork.

I’m Megan, founder of Ducks In Rows, a marketing consultancy specializing in SEO, search advertising and brand design. I help growing businesses make informed decisions—so their marketing supports real goals.

Clear strategy. Thoughtful execution. Fewer assumptions.

Your Business Isn’t Standard. Your Marketing Shouldn’t Be Either.

Most organizations do not need a one-size-fits-all marketing package.

They need to know what is worth their effort—and what is not.

You may already be investing in SEO, ads or your website, but still wondering:

\

Why results feel inconsistent

\

Where your budget will have the biggest impact

\

What to focus on next

Ducks In Rows starts by understanding your business and reviewing real performance data. From there, decisions are based on what’s working, what isn’t and what makes sense for your goals.

You get:

\

Strategy built around your business—not a standard package

\

Messaging that speaks to the right audience

\

Ongoing testing, measurement and refinement

Because effective marketing isn’t one and done. It improves over time.

The Ducks In Rows Approach

Ducks In Rows is built on clarity, organization, and thoughtful decision-making. That means:

\

Recommendations grounded in experience, data and context

\

Clear explanations without jargon

\

Honest conversations about tradeoffs and risks

\

progress instead of constant pivots

Sometimes the right move is testing something new.
Sometimes it’s fixing what’s already there.
Sometimes it’s choosing not to chase the latest trend.
The goal is always the same: help you move forward with purpose.

Search Visibility Starts With the Full Picture

Search and marketing don’t live in silos anymore. Your website, ads and visuals all shape how people find and understand your business.

I focus on the areas that drive visibility, qualified traffic and meaningful engagement.

SEO & Search Visibility

Search today is about being clear, helpful and easy to understand—for people and for search systems, including AI tools like LLMs.

I help improve:

\

Technical and structural SEO

\

Content quality and search intent

\

How your site supports both traditional search and AI-driven discovery

The focus isn’t chasing rankings. It’s helping the right people find you and understand what you offer.

Search Advertising (SEM)

Paid search works best when strategy, messaging, and measurement are aligned.
I manage ad campaigns like Google and Microsoft Ads with a focus on:

\

Intent-driven targeting

\

Conversion-focused landing page experiences

\

Data that supports smarter optimization decisions

You’ll always understand what’s being tested, what the results mean and what to consider next.

Branding & Graphic Design

Design shapes how people interpret and trust your business.

I create visual systems that feel aligned with your brand and work across your website, ads and marketing materials.

The goal is consistency, a look that feels like you, and genuine connection—not design for design’s sake.
