Most B2B companies have the same problem: PR, SEO, and content are all running — but in different directions. Placements land and fade. Rankings plateau. AI platforms like Claude and ChatGPT reshape how buyers find vendors, and nobody's sure the company is even showing up.
Idea Grove built the answer to siloed visibility. We call it the Total Visibility System — an integrated approach that aligns earned media, SEO, content, and AI optimization into a single coordinated engine. Every piece of work reinforces the others: PR placements strengthen search performance, search strengthens AI inclusion, and visibility compounds rather than fades.
The timing couldn't be better. Gartner predicts AI-driven search will double earned media budgets by 2027 — because AI answer engines don't respond to paid media. They cite earned coverage. The brands that dominate AI-generated answers are building cross-channel authority right now. That's what we help B2B companies do.

transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder & CEO of RiseSmart, a career transition service provider.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Idea Grove?
We had recently started the company and needed help in driving revenue.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Scott (President & Founder, Idea Grove) helped identify the right publications and positioned our story as being a unique and fresh breath of air in this industry. It started with an intake call where we discussed technologies, the markets being served, and the target audience. Based on that, they came back with a plan.
Apart from press releases, their team helped with blogs, infographics, social media, and other articles. They maintained the same message across all those mediums. Before conferences, they helped get the right reporters and set up meetings at the events. Their team packaged any other stories or newsworthy information to sell it into the marketplace.
For a period of time, Scott worked on SEO for us as well. They did keyword research after we identified around 10 to 12 options. After we got acquired, we switched everything to the parent company’s agencies.
What is the team composition?
I interfaced with an account manager who worked with copywriters and social media & SEO/SEM specialists. I often called Scott as well.
How did you come to work with Idea Grove?
I searched for Dallas-based PR agencies on Google. They appeared on the first page. I called Scott and others to meet with me. Scott was immediately at my door the next day. There was something about the way he went about the conversation. He said that he was a steadfast guy that would be able to help.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with Idea Grove from June 2007 until 2016.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Scott and his team did an excellent job daily. Idea Grove got our business in front of the right audiences. A story they put together about the product was on the first page of The Wall Street Journal.
How did Idea Grove perform from a project management standpoint?
The project management was excellent. It was a collaborative experience. Idea Grove provided regular reports on Google Analytics.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their can-do attitude stood out. Idea Grove was thoughtful, but also challenged us at times, which I liked.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, my experience with their team was great. I’m proud of what’s been achieved in building the business.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Idea Grove has grown into a multi-faceted agency. They pack a punch on a variety of fronts. If somebody is looking for an agile agency that isn’t the typical big agency framework, they should look at Idea Grove in their list of considerations.
It’s important for anyone hiring an agency to do some thinking and soul-searching beforehand on what their key messages and marketing goals are.

Idea Grove served as the marketing arm, using a recent lawsuit victory to cement a digital presence and build brand recognition. They developed a social media program and gained international coverage.
Idea Grove executed an effective PR strategy, gaining global exposure through reputable news outlets, publications, and video. Their efforts have also helped secure an enterprise-level contract, which generated a significant ROI. Innovation and regular communication were critical to success.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CMO for Apptricity. We’re a SaaS-based mobile software company located outside of Dallas, Texas.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Idea Grove?
We initially partnered with them to work on our regular PR. But, after we won a lawsuit against the federal government for misappropriating our software, they made sure that we received international coverage and boosted our visibility.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Idea Grove functioned as our entire marketing arm during our settlement. Instead of just putting out a press release and calling a few editors, they developed a comprehensive, end-to-end PR solution to capitalize on the situation.
They used our lawsuit as an opportunity to explain what our software does and gain exposure. This involved generating brand awareness at both a local and international level. The team targeted major print and news outlets as well as video spots. They also developed a robust social media program, which now generates the majority of our hits.
What is the team composition?
I primarily worked with Scott (Founder & President, Idea Grove), but other team members joined the project as needed.
How did you come to work with Idea Grove?
They reached out to us, so I included them in our RFP process along with the other local and national agencies. While looking at their background, I fact-checked a few of their related clients and heard positive reviews.
Idea Grove outshone all other candidates in our vetting process. While most of the competitors were more tactical, Idea Grove took a holistic approach. Even before the settlement, they already had ideas to build our brand and find opportunities to increase our online exposure.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent over $1 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
Their work lasted from 2016–2018. Although they aren’t on as a monthly retainer, we still work with them on a consulting basis.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Idea Grove’s efforts played a fundamental role in building our brand and gaining exposure. In a single week, we had over 300 appearances regarding our settlement. It was amazing; our coverage spanned major news channels, print publications, and national and international video.
The campaigns also positioned us well when approaching prospective clients because they transformed our global spotlight into an opportunity to promote our software. I was able to personally bring on a major contract with an enterprise-level company thanks to Idea Grove’s work. The client was initially skeptical if a company our size could handle the contract, but they ultimately went with us because of our coverage. It ended up being a seven-to-one ROI.
How did Idea Grove perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management was excellent. We had weekly in-person meetings with their staff, which allowed us an extra hour of focus.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Idea Grove takes a strategic approach and isn’t afraid to innovate. The team came up with ideas that I hadn’t even though of, and I’ve been in this business for decades. They suggested powerful yet affordable solutions to execute on strategy, and we worked well as a team.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I would have liked a little less turnover on the team.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Take the time to discuss your strategy upfront with the team so that they can be empowered to make decisions on the fly. Idea Grove would keep me informed about our efforts, but it wasn’t as if I had to make all the decisions. This enabled us to move much faster.
