Empowering Startups and Small Businesses to Become Tomorrow’s Industry Leaders

Over the past 8 years, our CEO David Black has been dedicated to helping startups and small businesses unlock their potential and accelerate growth through search and paid social strategies.

Our team is passionate about partnering with these businesses because it’s an opportunity to craft innovative, tailor-made solutions that empower them to compete—and win—against industry giants.

After working with a variety of brands and agencies, David recognized a critical gap: startups and small businesses needed not just support, but a partner who truly understood their unique challenges and ambitions. That realization inspired him to launch Ready Set Search, with a mission to help these emerging companies become the household names of tomorrow.
