BOULDER, Colo., May 17, 2006 ─ SmartSearch Marketing, a full-service search engine marketing agency specializing in consumer and business-to-business markets, today announced that it ranked fourth in the Boulder County Business Report’s Mercury 100: Fastest-Growing Private Companies list. Through its focused SmartSearch B2B services and continued commitment to search engine marketing solutions, SmartSearch is one of the fastest growing search marketing agencies in the nation.

“The search engine marketing industry continues to grow as companies increasingly look for agencies that have the proven track record and the online marketing expertise to drive Internet visibility, leads and sales,” said Patricia Hursh, founder and president of SmartSearch. “Our focus on search marketing and our specialization in b-to-b solutions has led to exceptionally strong growth for SmartSearch as the industry matures.”

The 2006 Mercury 100 companies were awarded based on the percent increase of revenues from 2004 to 2005. SmartSearch’s revenues increased by an astounding 138 percent during that time, while the search engine marketing industry as a whole grew by 74 percent between those same years.
