Ten years of digital marketing.
A team you'll actually know by name.
We’re a boutique Kansas City digital marketing agency. Our clients work directly with the senior strategists making decisions — not account coordinators. That structure has earned us Inc. 5000 recognition and a decade of measurable client growth.
Rank Fuse is now an official Otterly AI Partner.
Otterly AI is the leading platform for tracking brand visibility across AI-powered search — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and every major LLM. As a certified Otterly AI Partner, Rank Fuse is one of a small group of agencies equipped to monitor, measure, and grow your brand’s presence where the next generation of search is already happening. If your customers are asking AI instead of Google, we can tell you exactly where you stand — and what to do about it.
Built on one idea: your success is the only metric that matters.
Kevin Pike founded Rank Fuse in 2015 after a decade at Kansas City advertising and marketing agencies. He kept seeing the same problem: businesses assigned to junior account reps, generic strategies applied to unique markets, and reports full of vanity metrics disconnected from revenue. He started Rank Fuse to do it differently.
Today, Rank Fuse operates with a tight, senior-level team. Every client works directly with the strategists making decisions. That structure lets us move faster, adapt smarter, and stay accountable to the metrics that actually move the needle — leads, revenue, and growth.
It’s an approach that’s earned recognition from Inc. 5000, the KC Business Journal, Ingram’s, and the Netty Awards. More importantly, it’s earned the trust of clients across 16 industries who keep coming back.
Sixteen industries. One consistent approach:
measure everything, optimize always.
We’ve worked across a wide range of B2B and B2C markets. Breadth of experience matters — patterns that worked in logistics inform strategies in healthcare, and vice versa.
