Ethos Ink

Ethos Ink is a boutique SEO agency in San Diego, founded in 2024, that works with ecommerce brands wanting search to produce revenue rather than just rankings. Its tagline is "Grow Smarter. Rank Higher.", and it describes its style as direct, avoiding vanity metrics, bloated reports and generic playbooks, especially for brands with a distinct personality.

The core offer is ecommerce SEO: audits, keyword research, category-page strategy, product-page optimisation, internal linking and competitor gap analysis. The agency also works on AI search optimisation, aiming to improve how AI engines understand and reference a brand, and on product discovery, improving catalogue taxonomy, product feeds, schema and merchandising so items are easier to find and shop. Its view is that buyers now move between search results, AI-generated answers, shopping listings, category pages and editorial articles before buying, so brands need to appear clearly across all of them. Content marketing, content writing and PPC also appear in its declared mix, with digital marketing as the largest share.

The studio has 1-9 people, works in English, and lists ecommerce as its industry. Budgets start from $5,000. Ethos Ink suits online retailers, particularly brand-led stores with large catalogues, that want a specialist ecommerce SEO partner focused on site structure, product pages and AI visibility.
