About the Founder

William Smith founded Traffic9 Media in 2023 after successfully exiting his previous marketing agency, Local Search Technologies, which was based in Phoenix, Arizona and purchased outright by a young investment firm. After the sale, William and his wife relocated to the river town of New Richmond, Ohio, where he launched Traffic9 Media to continue helping businesses navigate the changing digital landscape. With more than three decades of marketing experience, William has guided clients through every major shift in digital marketing — from search engines and pay-per-click advertising to social media, programmatic display, and now the AI search revolution. Today he leads Traffic9 Media's work on AEO, GEO, entity authority building, and AI content strategy.
