About Sparkplug
Marketing
Sparkplug Marketing is a top-rated, family-run digital marketing company helping small businesses across the United States grow their revenue with AI-powered SEO, social media management, website development, and paid advertising. 16+ years of experience. 60+ active clients. 5.0 stars on Google.
Built to Help
Small Businesses Thrive
Sparkplug Marketing was founded with a simple mission: give small, family-run businesses access to the same caliber of digital marketing that large corporations enjoy — at a price that makes sense.
Our team blends human expertise with AI agents. Human strategists — led by John with 16+ years of digital marketing experience — handle strategy, client relationships, and creative direction. AI agents work alongside them to power content creation, SEO analysis, reporting, and campaign automation at scale. You get the best of both: the personal touch of a family business and the output capacity of a much larger agency.
We stay ahead of the curve. As search evolves from traditional Google results to AI-powered tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, we've built Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) into our core service offering — so your business is visible wherever your customers are searching, today and tomorrow.
All Sparkplug services are proudly provided by Consult Rushworth, a family-run digital marketing company dedicated to helping your family business thrive.
