Built by Google. Driven by Growth.

Borealis Digital Marketing is a revenue-focused SEO and paid search agency led by former Google professionals. We apply years of experience across thousands of campaigns to help ambitious businesses generate measurable growth.

We Help Ambitious Businesses Achieve Measurable Growth

Borealis Digital Marketing exists to help growth-focused businesses generate more qualified leads, customers, and revenue through search.

We are not a high-volume agency built around generic templates, junior account managers, or disconnected marketing services. Every engagement receives direct attention from experienced specialists across SEO, Google Ads, AI search visibility, content, technology, and website strategy.

We are selective about the clients we work with because meaningful growth requires commitment on both sides. When we take on a project, we invest the time, expertise, and strategic focus needed to pursue measurable, long-term business results.

Meet the Founder - From Google Strategist to Growth Partner

Kevin Kohlert founded Borealis Digital Marketing in 2017 after spending several years working within an official Google Ads program. During that time, he managed and analyzed thousands of advertising campaigns across hundreds of industries and was recognized as the top-performing account manager on his global process.

 

That experience gave him an unusually broad view of how businesses approach search, advertising, lead generation, and conversion. It also exposed him to strategies used by organizations ranging from local companies to Fortune 500 brands, major advertising agencies, and select enterprise accounts.

 

Kevin built Borealis to apply that experience in a more focused, transparent, and results-driven way. Today, he leads the agency’s SEO, paid search, AI visibility, and growth strategy with one objective: helping clients generate measurable, long-term revenue growth.

From a Home Office to a Multi-Million Dollar Track Record

Borealis Digital Marketing began in 2017 as a founder-led operation built around a simple idea: businesses deserved marketing strategies tied to measurable growth, not just traffic, rankings, or monthly activity.

 

What started as a small operation has grown into a specialized team serving clients across the United States. Along the way, Borealis has helped an industrial e-commerce company scale into a multi-million-dollar business, generated thousands of qualified leads for law firms, and developed profitable patient-acquisition campaigns for medical practices.

 

The agency has grown primarily through long-term client relationships, referrals, and documented results. Every team member has been selected for specialized expertise in search strategy, paid media, technology, content, or web design.

 

Today, Borealis remains intentionally selective. We work with businesses that are serious about growth and value direct access to experienced professionals, transparent communication, and strategies built around long-term revenue generation.

Inside the Machine: What We Learned Working for Google

Kevin Kohlert Google Award

Several members of the Borealis team previously worked within official Google programs in roles involving Google Ads strategy, advertiser performance, product expertise, technical operations, and campaign support.

Across thousands of campaigns and hundreds of industries, we saw how businesses approached search at scale. We learned where campaigns commonly broke down, which opportunities were frequently overlooked, and how search intent, messaging, landing-page experience, tracking, and lead quality work together to influence revenue.

That experience gave us the pattern recognition, technical discipline, and performance mindset to identify opportunities faster, avoid costly mistakes, and build strategies around measurable business growth.

As search has evolved through automation, machine learning, and now AI-generated answers, we have continued applying the same principles we learned inside Google’s advertising ecosystem. From semantic optimization and structured content to paid search automation and AI search visibility, we build strategies for both algorithms and the real people behind every search.
