AI-first before it was a slogan.
Bethesda Marketing is an AI-first SEO agency based in Bethesda, Maryland. We help local businesses get found the way people actually search now — in Google and in AI answers — with a deep understanding of the markets they serve.
We take one client per industry
We can't win for everyone in a category at once, so we don't try. When we take on a client, their direct competitors won't be our clients — your visibility is the only one we're building in your space.
Our founder
Bethesda Marketing was founded by Alex Levine, who has delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in value across roles at Amazon, a leading educational institution, and a Top-10 global design firm. That combination — large-scale operations and growth, paired with human-centered design — shapes how the agency works: practical, clear, and focused on results.
Why "AI-first"
The way people search is changing fast. Buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI for recommendations and act on the answer. Most local businesses aren't ready for that shift — and most agencies are still selling 2015's playbook. We bring enterprise-grade search thinking to DMV businesses so they're found in both worlds, one industry at a time.
Our approach is about balance
We take the complex, time-consuming marketing work off your plate so you can focus on what you do best. That's the heart of what we do — restoring equilibrium for business owners who are stretched thin.
