Towson small-business SEO agency with month-to-month local SEO from $450 per month
About MarketKeep
MarketKeep is a small digital marketing agency at 40 West Chesapeake Avenue, Suite 520, in Towson, Maryland, just north of Baltimore. Founder Patrick Kurowski started the business from a 30-dollar desk with three clients and 750 dollars in monthly billing. It started in 2016 and has since served more than 250 clients across the US and beyond. SEO specialist Meg Finnegan, who holds a Google Ads Search certification, is the other named team member. The team has two to nine staff. Kurowski has been featured in a VoyageBaltimore interview.
Their services cover local, on-page and off-page SEO, websites on WordPress, Divi, Elementor, Wix, Squarespace and Shopify, Google Ads, social media, email marketing, content and optimisation for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The SEO process has five steps. It starts with a free evaluation of the site, Google Business Profile and rankings, which the founder reviews himself and which comes with a recorded video walkthrough. Keyword research follows, by service and town, using Ahrefs, Semrush and Search Console data. Next come foundation fixes such as profile optimisation, on-page setup, name, address and phone cleanup and technical repairs. The last two steps add service, location and blog content with link building, and then reporting.
MarketKeep has a dedicated SEO page for dentists and has published a keyword guide for dental practices. The guide advises choosing keywords by patient type, such as family, emergency, cosmetic and pediatric. It recommends separate pages for each treatment and each town, a complete and active Google Business Profile, a steady flow of review requests and replies, consistent directory listings, schema markup, and tracking through Analytics, Search Console and Business Profile Insights. It names no dental clients and has no dental case studies.
Published results come from other local trades. Hero Locksmiths in Sarasota moved from fifth or sixth in the Google map results in March 2023 to the top spot for its main local term. Roof Right, a Maryland roofer and client since 2018, had a 273 percent organic search ROI in 2026. Flawless Floors, a client since 2017, has separate pages for each nearby town. Expertise.com named MarketKeep among Baltimore's top SEO agencies, web designers and web developers in 2026.
Google reviewers often mention Patrick and Meg by name. They praise quick replies, honest explanations of strategy, plans built for their business, and gains in organic traffic and leads. SEO packages start at 450 dollars a month for new businesses and reach 6,000 dollars or more for multi-county or national campaigns. Work is month to month after a signed agreement, clients own their website and content, and meetings run weekly, every two weeks or monthly depending on the package. This suits independent practices in the Baltimore area that want local map visibility on a modest budget.
