Denver web and growth agency with a published dental-sector SEO case study
About Blennd
Blennd is a digital agency at 3000 Lawrence Street in Denver's RiNo district. It was founded in 2014 by Chris Kuhn, now co-founder and COO, and Gavin Beldt, now co-founder and strategic advisor (some listings name Beldt as CEO). The agency began as a creative studio and grew into a combined web and marketing partner. Its named team includes Hailey Krause (director of operations), Hannah Budnik (lead search strategist), Kara Noreika (lead go-to-market strategist), Jakub Pabis (lead developer) and Brian Brooks (lead UX/UI designer). The team has 11 staff on a hybrid schedule.
The agency groups its services into three areas. Websites covers design, development and maintenance. Optimization covers SEO and AI visibility, conversion work and marketing audits. Growth covers demand generation, paid media, go-to-market strategy and marketing automation. Projects move through discovery and strategy, then design and build, then marketing and performance. Every website build includes UX design, copywriting, data migration, technical SEO, analytics set-up and full ownership of the code. Its values put strategy before design and clarity before complexity.
Its clearest dental-sector work is for GoTu, a marketplace that connects dental offices with dental professionals for temporary and permanent staff. Blennd rebuilt the site on WordPress with ACF, hosted it on Kinsta and connected it to HubSpot. The new site has separate paths for offices and for job seekers, and an ROI calculator aimed at dental offices. In the five months after launch, ranking keywords rose from 2,792 to 4,411. Top-three rankings went from 52 to 130 and top-ten rankings from 256 to 625. AI Overview and other search-feature placements nearly doubled. GoTu is a business serving dental offices rather than a practice, but the project shows the agency handling dental search terms.
Other health clients include Pinnacle Dermatology, QualDerm Partners and Nava Health, and the agency has a functional medicine marketing offer. Non-health work includes Orangetheory Fitness, Vail Resorts, Western Colorado University and the Bustang bus service for the Colorado Department of Transportation. The agency has won awards from the Davey Awards, Awwwards, CSS Design Awards and dotCOMM, plus an Expertise.com ranking for UI/UX design in Denver.
The agency is rated about 5.0 on Google from 25 reviews. Reviewers praise responsive project managers, careful copy and clear handling of different user groups. Website builds start at about $15,000 to $25,000, most rebuilds cost $20,000 to $60,000, and custom platforms can pass $100,000. Marketing retainer prices are not published. A first call is followed by a custom proposal. The agency is a better fit for dental service organisations, dental technology firms and larger groups than for a single practice on a small budget.
