David Houston
Founder & CEO
David founded The SEO Alchemists in 2023 after seeing the same problem from the inside more than once. As an IT manager at a marketing agency, he watched client work slow down while the invoices kept going out. He moved to another agency and found the same pattern, so he decided to build the kind of agency he would want to hire himself.
That experience shaped how the company works today: target keywords agreed in writing, reporting on calls and leads, month-to-month service, and a six-month Performance-Backed Billing that pauses billing if the results don’t arrive.
David has worked with more than 500 clients and stays close to the work. He leads sales and strategy calls himself and meets regularly with existing clients. He is based in Austin, Texas.
Away from the office, David keeps aquariums. He says looking after his fish is where he finds his calm.
