Built in Pittsburgh for businesses that need customers, not reports.
RankSolv is a Pittsburgh company founded on one belief: a business should be able to point at its marketing and say exactly what it earned.
We run on a simple rule. Every dollar a client spends should trace back to a phone call, a booked appointment, or a sale. If we can’t show that line, we change the plan or we say so.
How RankSolv Started
Colin Wilson spent 7+ years leading marketing at enterprise companies and boutique agencies before he started RankSolv. In both worlds, he saw the exact same problem.
Clients paid every month and received reports full of rankings, clicks, and impressions. Almost none of those reports answered the owner’s real question: did this bring in customers?
He also saw what happens to small businesses. They got a smaller copy of a big-company plan, or a cookie-cutter template that ignored how they actually make money.
RankSolv was launched in Pittsburgh in 2023 with a single local client who was burning budget on vanity metrics. Within 90 days of shifting focus strictly to Cost-Per-Lead and call conversions, their revenue tripled—proving that local businesses didn't need more reports, they needed transparent accountability. After scaling local successes, RankSolv officially expanded online in 2025 to bring this revenue-first framework to broader markets.
What We Stand For
Revenue is the only scoreboard
Impressions and rankings are useful only when they lead to leads. We report on calls, qualified inquiries, and revenue.
The plan fits the business
We begin with what a customer is worth, where leads come from today, and where they drop off. Strategy comes after those answers.
Honesty before the contract
We tell you in the free audit what is realistic for your market and budget, including when we aren’t the right fit. Nobody can guarantee a #1 ranking, and we don’t pretend to.
You earn trust every month
We work month to month with no long-term lock-in. If results stop, you can leave.

Meet Our Founder
Enterprise Discipline Meets Small-Business Agility
Colin is a top-class AI Engineer and digital strategist who has spent 7+ years working inside enterprise teams before founding RankSolv. Working across both environments and collaborating with multiple business owners taught him core lessons: enterprise work taught him to measure every dollar against revenue, while working with growing businesses proved the need for agile, budget-focused execution rather than rigid corporate templates.
How He Works
Colin personally leads the first strategy session for every new client. He starts with your numbers: customer lifetime value, current lead sources, and drop-off points. Strategy comes after those answers. This is why RankSolv doesn’t hand out cookie-cutter decks.
What He Has Delivered
His past work includes driving 87.9K organic clicks across regional and local service campaigns, alongside an average 4x return on Google Ads spend. He builds custom frameworks around each client’s real revenue metrics, tailored specifically for brands navigating competitive markets.
"If a tactic can’t be traced to a lead or a sale, it doesn’t belong in the plan."
Background & Personal Details
Armed with a BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science) degree and deep engineering expertise, Colin bridges advanced tech systems with performance marketing. Having partnered with numerous business owners across various sectors, he has built RankSolv to deliver crystal-clear accountability. Outside of work, he enjoys exploring Western Pennsylvania trails and keeping up with regional sports.
