About

We would rather be useful than impressive.

A Big Shoutout is a search & digital marketing agency. We work on the parts of the internet where people look for answers, & we are straightforward about what we can & cannot influence.

No vanity metrics. We report on rankings and revenue, not impressions dressed up as wins.
Direct access. You work with the strategist on your account, not a rotating account manager.
Honest scoping. If a channel is not right for your business, we will say so before we sell it to you.

Position

Search stopped being one place.

For a long time, being visible meant ranking in one set of blue links. That is no longer where most discovery happens. A product search might start on TikTok. A comparison might happen inside ChatGPT. A local decision is made in the map pack before a website is ever opened.

We organise our work around that reality. Core search disciplines still carry the most commercial weight, so they remain the foundation. Alongside them we run platform search, where each surface has its own ranking logic, & AI search, where the job is being retrievable & citable rather than ranked.

The point is not to be present everywhere for its own sake. It is to be present where your specific audience actually looks, which is usually two or three of these surfaces rather than all of them.

Straight answers

What we will not do.

  • We will not guarantee a ranking. Nobody controls a search engine's index. Anyone promising a position is either guessing or gaming something that will be corrected.
  • We will not buy links or place stories on sites that exist to sell placements. It carries risk and it does not build authority.
  • We will not publish testimonials we wrote. Our reviews live on Google where anyone can read them unedited.
  • We will not quote before we understand the work. A number given before a discovery call is a number that will change.
  • We will not take work we are not right for. If a different specialist is a better fit, we will say so.
