About

Built for the businesses
big agencies ignore.

YouFirst SEO exists because Bryan and College Station deserve the same quality of digital marketing that Houston, Austin, and Dallas take for granted.

The Story

Hi, I'm Chris.

I didn't take the expected path into this industry. My degree is in marine biology. Before starting YouFirst, I worked as a software administrator for a medical clinic at Texas A&M University. It taught me a lot about how actual businesses run, how they break, and what they need to grow.

I wanted the freedom that comes with owning something. But I also knew I'd only feel good about it if I was building something that genuinely helped people. Those two things became the same goal: help other business owners get to "yes" faster: more calls, more customers, more control over their own livelihood.

That's where the name came from. YouFirst means ranking first in search. It also means your goals come before mine. I don't consider myself successful until you are.

Founded

April 2021

Started in a 400 sq ft apartment in Bryan, TX.

50%

Increase in organic clicks for a local mental health clinic, within their first three months as a client.

Why BCS

Texas has more than three cities.

Most SEO agencies in Texas are built around Houston, Austin, or Dallas. There's nothing wrong with that. Those are big markets. But it means every other city gets treated as an afterthought, handed off to a junior account manager, or ignored entirely.

Bryan and College Station are a university town with 250,000 people, a strong local economy, and real businesses that need real marketing support. That's who I built this for.

I work with clients across Texas, but I'm not trying to be everything to everyone. I'm focused, reachable, and invested in the outcomes, not managing a portfolio of 80 accounts from an office tower in Uptown Dallas.
