Searchology™ – About & History

Our Promise to You – Truth. Transparency. Honesty.

About Searchology

Searchology™ was launched in  September 2009 by Alton J. Duderstadt II with the primary goal of providing truth and transparency regarding search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, website analytics, and all things related to online marketing. Our mission is to provide our clients with the very best online marketing services and recommendations based on their unique goals and business models.

As many of you may know, 2008 and 2009 were the height of the housing market crash and banks around the country were near collapse. A that time, Alton J. Duderstadt II, was working as a contractor for “Ubid” and Creative Circle [a creative staffing agency]. Millions of jobs were being eradicated, outsourced, and compartmentalized. It was during this time that Alton grasped the opportunity to create a new digital advertising model based on full transparency, 100% honesty, and putting the clients and client results above all else.

So, what exactly does “Searchology” mean? It is a registered trademark term created by Alton J. Duderstadt II in 2005. The initial concept was to create the type of content that was SEO-driven but relatable, understandable, and remarkable as it pertained to “the study of the search”.
