You’re investing in SEO and digital marketing, but you still can’t tell what’s working or what you’re actually paying for.
I’m Markese Straughter, founder of WFpulse, an SEO and web strategy practice out of Las Vegas. I work with agencies, founders, and enterprise teams to plan smart digital strategy and see it through.
You’re paying for SEO, ads, content, or website work, but you can’t connect any of it to actual growth.
Your agency sends reports, but you still don’t understand what changed or why it matters.
You know something needs to change, but nobody is telling you what to prioritize first.
That’s the gap I fill.
For business owners spending real money on marketing who don’t have one person responsible for connecting it all.
I look at everything currently running, tell you what’s working and what’s wasting money, set the priorities, and stay involved while the work gets done. Whether that work happens through your agency, your internal team, or me.
Within 90 days you’ll know what your marketing is producing and exactly what to spend the next quarter on.
Project work is also available when it supports the strategy: SEO, web and app development, Shopify builds, and custom AI implementation.

A large, technically complex open-source platform with untapped organic visibility. I supported SEO strategy and implementation, contributing to 136% organic growth.
An SMB consulting program that needed SEO guidance its advisors could actually use. I ran audits and built education around them.
A Salt Lake City garage storage company with no organic presence and a site that wasn’t converting. I handle SEO and development on an ongoing basis.
My path started practical: a six-month coding bootcamp, then internships across Las Vegas. Development became design, and design became SEO, the discipline that now anchors how I approach every project.
I’ve also built and invested in real businesses, a junk removal company and a partnership in a restaurant. That operator experience shapes how I work: I understand costs, time, and what actually moves the needle.
Leading SEO-driven strategy for local service businesses, while collaborating with agencies and enterprise teams across industries.
Direct experience building and investing in real businesses, operations, costs, and decision-making outside of digital.
Freelance work that evolved from development into design, then into SEO, the discipline that now anchors everything.
Six-month coding bootcamp out of high school, then local internships across Vegas. Learned how digital connects to actual business outcomes.
Webflow and SEO knowledge that’s top tier, really helped our company when we needed extra support.
Thank you Markese, for helping my family with our website. Super professional, friendly and guided us through the entire process. Hands down the best in the market, highly recommend him.
Excellent partner. Extensive expertise in Webflow, web development, SEO, and digital strategy, with follow-through on every project.
Usually because nobody owns the whole picture. SEO, ads, content, and the website get handled separately by people who never talk to each other. The individual work can be fine while the strategy is nonexistent.
Ask them what changed last month and what it produced. If the answer is a report full of impressions and no explanation of what it means for your revenue, that’s your answer. I help owners ask better questions and evaluate the responses.
Either. Most of the time I work alongside them, set the priorities, and hold the work to a standard. Sometimes the honest answer is that the relationship isn’t worth keeping, and I’ll tell you that too.
That depends entirely on your margins, your sales motion, and where your growth actually comes from today. Anyone who answers that question before understanding your business is selling you something.
Both. My role isn’t limited to recommendations. I actively manage and support execution, coordinating design, development, content, and marketing so projects actually move forward.
Tell me what you’re running now, where you feel stuck, and what you’re trying to hit. I’ll tell you whether I can help.
