Helping small businesses grow, from the roots up
Hi, I'm Rachel, the founder of Rank & Root Studio.
I've spent more than a decade in marketing and operations. I've been a small-business marketing consultant, a CMO and COO, and I now work as a senior customer success manager for an enterprise SEO platform. Over those years I've helped hundreds of businesses get found online, from local shops to global brands. I've audited websites, cleaned up Google Business Profiles, fixed messy directory listings, and turned confusing data into plans people can actually follow.
One thing always stood out to me: small businesses need good SEO just as much as big brands, but they rarely have the time, budget, or team to figure it out. Rank & Root Studio is my way of closing that gap. Each template takes the same process I use with enterprise clients and turns it into something clear and step-by-step that a busy owner can finish in an afternoon.
The name comes from two things I love. "Rank" is the work: helping your business show up when customers search. "Root" is my life outside the office. I'm a single mom, and I spend my free time in the garden, where I've learned that strong growth starts underground, long before you see results. When I'm not planting, you'll probably find me kayaking and clearing my head on the water.
Being a working mom also shapes how I design every product. I know what it's like to have 20 minutes, not two hours, so my tools are built to be practical, focused, and easy to pick back up.
Every template in this shop is designed by me, based on real-world experience. If you have a question, want something customized, or just want to share a win, send me a message. I read every one.
Thanks for supporting a small business.
Rachel
