Growth & Efficiency, By Design

Your customers ask AI before they ever click. We make sure your brand is the answer, then run the ads, shoot the content, post the feed, and design the creative that keeps you there. Built for businesses and creators who need a partner, not a service provider.

AI Search Visibility

Your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI before they click anything. We track whether those engines actually mention your brand, then fix what's missing with schema, entity, and citation work. The 2026 metric most agencies still pretend doesn't exist.

Organic Growth & SEO

Paid traffic stops the moment you stop paying. We build keyword architecture, content, and technical SEO that compounds over time and belongs to you, not a rented ad account.

Web Design, Hosting & Domains

Your site should work while you sleep. From domain to design to round-the-clock hosting, we build fast, secure, bilingual-ready sites for selling, booking, or showing off a portfolio.

Personal Brand Building

For actors, musicians, athletes, and artists. We make you discoverable where it counts: industry profiles (IMDb, Spotify, casting sites), press, social, and a web presence built to get you found and booked.

eCommerce & Marketplace Operations

For product brands ready to scale. Catalog and SKU management, multi-channel listing across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Etsy, plus inventory and fulfillment pipelines that stop margin from leaking.

Custom Tools & Automation

Stop doing by hand what software can do. We build tools and automations around your exact workflow (lead-capture chatbots, CRMs, content pipelines) so you grow without the busywork.

Paid Social Advertising

Organic reach has a ceiling. We plan, build, and run paid campaigns on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube: the offer, the creative, the targeting, and the tracking, managed daily by the same person who reads your search data.

Photo & Video Production

Commercial photography and video, shot for where it will actually run. Product and portrait stills, brand films, and vertical video cut for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, retouched and delivered ready to publish.

Social Media & Graphic Design

Someone posting every day in your voice, and the design underneath it. Content calendars, captions, and community replies, plus logos, full identity systems, ad creative, and decks.

Proof, not promises

Public reviews and published research. Every number links to its source.

When You Hire SEMPITE, You Get Me

Jacob Gerrish, founder of SEMPITE

High-ticket consulting is a people business, so here's who you're working with. By day I run product and eCommerce operations for a brand doing $25M+ a year across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Etsy.

SEMPITE is where I bring that operator's toolkit to businesses and personal brands who can't afford a $10K/mo agency but refuse to be forgettable. You get me, not a junior handed your account.
