TastyPlacement
TastyPlacement is one of Austin's longest-running SEO firms, founded in 2008, and leans on its Google certifications, conference speaking, and a published SEO book to signal expertise. The trade-off is that it does not publish pricing and at least one prospect has reported difficulty getting a promised proposal, so expect to work for a clear quote.
About TastyPlacement
TastyPlacement is a search engine optimization and digital marketing agency based in Austin, Texas. Its own site states the firm was founded in 2008, though its Clutch profile lists 2006, so the exact founding year is not fully consistent across public sources. The agency operates from an office on West 6th Street in Austin and serves both local Austin businesses and clients nationwide. Its listed specialties span SEO, WordPress SEO, local and Google Maps SEO, PPC and Google Ads management, remarketing, analytics and tag management, social media marketing, and WordPress web design and development. TastyPlacement positions its differentiators as long tenure, extensive Google certifications including Google Marketing Platform partnership, and authorship of a published WordPress SEO book. It does not publish pricing and offers no long term contracts. The firm may suit businesses wanting an established, certification focused, full service search marketing partner. It is likely a weaker fit for companies seeking guaranteed fast results or very low budget engagements.

Ratings & reviews
We worked with Maria at TastyPlacement on some promotional efforts we were undertaking with Google Maps & Bing Maps and what sets them apart is their combination of technical skills and transparency. They explained why each step mattered and provided regular reporting that actually made sense. If you’re a Texas business and want some extra traction with your marketing efforts we think they are a good move. They have been around a long time in Austin since I think 2008 and you can tell just by talking to them that they know what's going on.
TastyPlacement knows what they are doing. They have been an ad agency doing digital for almost 20 years. Michael and his team--the care and knowledge come through. Responses are fast.
I have worked with the girls at Tasty Placement for years now on my SEO and website management, and they’ve been amazing. Thanks to their expertise, my Google rankings stay at the top, bringing in a steady stream of new clients. Their team is super skilled, responsive, and just great to work with. Hands down, one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 18 years of running my business!
I found Tasty Placement because one of the owners wrote a book on Wordpress SEO that is on Amazon. I liked the book, but it is technical and I got stuck on a few things with my company's website so Matthew did a 2-month contract with us to fix some mobile website issues and do some SEO optimizations on the content on our site. Results were surprising to me but definitely the phone rang more after they did their work. Also Aaliyah was really helpful and explained some of the more technical tasks to me.
Daisy and the team at Tasty Placement helped me get my business off the ground here in Austin. They do the typical website building work that everyone seems to do, but the real skill at which they excel is search engine optimization. They worked on my website in a way that made it show up in searches when folks use Google. It was a good experience for me, not the cheapest in town of course but in the long run it paid off.
