Part Art, Part Science.
TESSA combines deep experience in technology with marketing expertise to provide the insight, ideas and execution that help businesses build their brands online. Great creativity is, well, great—but if your target audience can’t find it and doesn’t see it, you’ll never know if it’s also effective. TESSA knows how to find, capture and engage your audience by leveraging our specific expertise and passion for problem solving.
From SEO to Social Media Content, TESSA takes the guesswork out of online marketing. This is where science and art come together to create advertising that works. Just like the multi-dimensional tesseract, a math sculpture, it’s a beautiful thing that changes the way you see digital marketing, and the way your customers see you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What marketing services does TESSA offer?
Search engine optimization, both local and national and international; generative engine optimization for AI search; paid advertising across search, social and display and retargeting; review management; online brand protection; and Google Ad Grants for nonprofits.
Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?
Both. TESSA works with small and medium businesses as well as national brands, and the approach scales rather than changing: understand the audience, build something they can find, then measure whether it produced revenue.
How is marketing work priced?
Ongoing marketing runs as a monthly retainer, one-off builds are priced as a project, and advertising budget is always separate from the management fee. Every engagement is scoped to your goals, so the honest answer for your business comes from a conversation rather than a rate card. We will give you a clear number, and what it includes, before any work starts.
How long before marketing produces results?
Paid advertising can produce enquiries in the first week, though reliable data takes 30 to 60 days. Search engine optimization typically takes three to six months before the trend is clear. Most clients run both, so the paid channel carries the pipeline while the organic work compounds.
Where is TESSA based and who do you work with?
TESSA Marketing & Technology is based in McLean, Virginia and has been building marketing and technology for businesses since 2012. We work with clients throughout Northern Virginia and the Washington DC metro area, and nationally.
