History
Established in 2008.
Verti Group International (VGI) was founded in 2008 with a technical foundation shaped by high-level telecommunications experience, including early work with AT&T during a major period of digital growth in the Seattle market.
That background gave VGI a practical understanding of how technology, search visibility, and business communication would continue to evolve. From the beginning, the company was built to help businesses get found online through technical precision, stronger content, and measurable search performance.
Over the years, VGI has adapted through every major shift in digital marketing, from traditional Google search and local SEO to today’s AI-assisted search environment. Our history is rooted in helping businesses improve visibility, strengthen authority, and stay competitive as search technology changes.
Today, VGI continues to combine human SEO experience with AI-aware strategy to help clients appear where customers are looking.
Meet the Business Owner: David S F.
Verti Group International (VGI) was founded in 2008 by David S. Freed and Mark Scafuria, longtime AT&T colleagues with a strong background in telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and business communication.
My work in Seattle SEO grew out of that technical foundation. For more than 18 years, I have helped businesses get found, trusted, and chosen online. VGI also has a long history with the phrase “SEO Seattle,” including prior trademark ownership, which reflects our deep connection to this market.
Today, customers are not only searching Google—they are asking AI platforms, maps, review sites, and answer engines who to trust. Those systems pull from public content, business profiles, reviews, and third-party credibility signals.
That is where VGI focuses: helping businesses become visible, understandable, and trusted across both traditional search and AI-assisted discovery.
