Scorpion's Acquisition of 1SEO Digital Agency to Revolutionize Local Marketing with AI Solutions
Scorpion Enhances Its Portfolio with 1SEO Digital Agency Acquisition
On June 18, 2026, Scorpion, a leading provider of digital marketing technology, announced its acquisition of 1SEO Digital Agency, based in Philadelphia, expanding its reach in providing AI-driven marketing solutions to local businesses across the United States. Founded in 2009, 1SEO boasts 17 years of valuable experience and an impressive track record of fostering strong client relationships in the home services, health, and legal sectors.
BJ Bergey, CEO of 1SEO, expressed confidence in Scorpion's vision and capabilities, stating, "Scorpion stood out because of their intentional investment in technology for local businesses and the impressive performance they have driven for clients over the last 25 years." He emphasized that the acquisition represents a positive step forward, ensuring clients will benefit from Scorpion's enhanced technology platform and long-term objectives.
The inclusion of 1SEO into Scorpion's ecosystem allows its clients to access the innovative RevenueMAX solution specifically designed to maximize revenue and return on investment for local businesses. This integration offers clients a seamless transition to Scorpion's platform while ensuring they receive uninterrupted support throughout the process.
Scorpion has established exclusive partnerships that set it apart in the digital marketing arena. For instance, it is recognized as ServiceTitan's only preferred digital marketing partner, creating deep integrations that connect marketing expenditures to technician capacity and booked jobs. Furthermore, in the legal domain, Scorpion is also the sole preferred marketing partner for Clio, uniquely linking law firms' marketing strategies to client retention and actual revenue.
As current 1SEO clients begin to transition to Scorpion's platform, they are expected to benefit greatly from Scorpion’s array of digital marketing solutions across various industries, including home services, healthcare, and legal sectors. This acquisition is a strategic part of Scorpion's ongoing mergers and acquisitions strategy, aimed at expanding its digital marketing reach across the nation.
John Shoaf, Managing Partner at Skyharbor Capital, which previously acquired 1SEO, pointed out that this acquisition underscores the hard work of the 1SEO team and Scorpion’s unique capability to aid local businesses in their growth. When Skyharbor took over 1SEO in 2023, the goal was to evolve a traditional marketing agency into a scalable tech-driven platform. The impressive growth in performance since that transition is commendable.
Kirby Oscar, Scorpion's Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, remarked on 1SEO’s longstanding relationships and the trust they've built within their client base. He acknowledged, “We look for agencies that share our mission of helping local businesses succeed. Our responsibility is to enhance that trust further and expand technological offerings for 1SEO's clients.”
This acquisition not only strengthens Scorpion's existing capabilities but broadens the scope of digital marketing solutions presented to local businesses, driving proven revenue growth and enhancing client success.
