Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Zachary Sperling
Zachary Sperling is the COO of GEO Marketing Group. He works alongside Chris to keep the studio's projects and client experience focused on clear communication, carefully built work, and an ownership-first handoff.
Why GEO exists
Chris founded GEO after watching too many business owners get stuck with one of two websites: a dated, slow page nobody has the logins to anymore, or a DIY template they have outgrown that looks like a dozen of their competitors. Either way, it quietly costs them calls, bookings, and customers because the website is often the first impression now.
GEO builds the kind of site a business is proud to send people to: quick to load, sharp on every phone, and clearly designed to turn a visitor into a call, a booking, or a sale. When it makes sense, we support that work with local SEO and search visibility that bring the right people to it.
Today, Chris leads the company and its creative and technical direction as CEO, while Zach serves as COO and helps keep the work organized and the client experience clear. Together, they give clients a senior-led studio without the layers and confusion of a large agency.
What we believe
Craft over templates
We design and build sites by hand around your business - not by dropping your logo into a stock theme that everyone in your town is already using. The details are the difference.
Speed, in every sense
Fast to load, fast to launch. We scope a realistic timeline up front and hold to it - no open-ended, six-month website projects that quietly drift for a year.
Honesty over hype
We tell you plainly whether you need a fresh build, a focused refresh, or nothing at all right now. No jargon, no pressure, no padding the scope to inflate the quote.
You own everything
When the project is done, the site, the domain, the content, and every account are yours. We set it all up in your name and hand over the logins. You're never locked in to us.
Design and engineering, under one roof
A lot of agencies design a site and hand the build off to someone else - or build a site that was never really designed. We do both. The same studio that lays out your type, color, and pages also writes the code that ships them, so nothing gets lost in translation and nothing comes back as a stock template in disguise.
That means we can take on the whole range under one roof: a brand-new website or a clean rebuild of a dated one, an online store, or a custom web app - booking systems, customer portals, dashboards, and calculators that go well beyond a brochure site. And because we also handle the marketing, the site we build and the work that fills it pull in the same direction from day one.
Where we work from
We're based in Providence, Rhode Island, and work with businesses across the United States and Canada. New England is our home market and where we got our start, and today the studio runs remotely - by phone, video, and email - so we can do the same fast, modern work for a business across the continent as for one a few towns over. The home base stays in Rhode Island; the work travels anywhere it is a good fit.
How to start
The first step is simple: tell us about your business and what you want your site to do. We'll come back with a clear plan, a realistic timeline, and a quote - no pressure and no jargon. Whether you need a brand-new site, a rebuild of a dated one, an online store, or a custom web app, you'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before you decide anything.
