About Us

We Help NYC Businesses Win on Google

Founded in New York City, Merlino Marketing was built to solve a real problem: local businesses were losing customers to competitors who ranked higher on Google. We set out to change that with data-driven SEO and high-converting web design.

Today, Merlino Marketing drives organic growth for businesses across NYC and beyond - from restaurants and law firms to e-commerce brands and real estate agencies. Whether you need local SEO, technical optimization, or a new website that converts.
