About Rocket Clicks

Who We Are
Founded in 2008, our Milwaukee-area Paid and SEO agency has worked with some of the brightest, most agile minds in digital marketing - team members and partners, alike! Each of us brings unique skills and experiences to the table, and we have seen time and time again how the diverse experiences of our team members - both personal and professional - propel us forward and allow us to provide continuously groundbreaking insights. Rocket Clicks is a team in the truest sense of the word. We share knowledge freely and have no hidden agendas. Within our walls you'll hear the word "friend" used more often than "coworker," and we understand that collaboration is at the core of our success.

Our Values In Action
It's one thing for us to say who we are and what we do. It's another thing to carry through on these promises. Our team is always staying on top of the latest developments in search engine marketing. It’s how we stay sharp.

But we don't just horde this information - you can check out our analysis of the most important industry news and deliver informed insights on our blog. We also curate the most important industry news as it happens on our Twitter feed.

We talk a lot about our awesome culture, passion for giving back to our community, and celebration of team achievements. We always love to get feedback on what we've been up to, your opinions on the news of the day, and your questions for our staff about what's going on in the rapidly refreshing world of Internet marketing.

Why We Work
We love to help businesses thrive online via smart, ethical search marketing. We strive to enrich the lives and livelihoods of our partners and our staff, and we deliver real, quantifiable results.

We employ leaders at all levels of our company. No university teaches what we know. Raw talent needs training, and in our subtle yet complex industry, training has to be well-informed and unending. Curiosity and reaching are core values.

Every time innovation shuffles the deck, we know it is an opportunity to distance our partners from the competition. We stand shoulder to shoulder with partners who are leaders and winners within their industries.
