About us

A Brooklyn firm built on straight answers

Quality Resource Group was founded in 2014 to give New York small businesses the kind of digital work usually reserved for companies with in-house marketing departments — delivered without jargon, retainers you cannot exit, or reports nobody understands.

Our story

Started on Court Street, still here

We began as a two-person operation helping contractors and clinics in Downtown Brooklyn fix broken websites and neglected Google listings. Word travelled the way it does in New York — one satisfied owner tells the guy on the next block.

Eleven years later, we manage local search programs for businesses across all five boroughs, and the model has not changed much. We take on a limited number of clients so each one gets senior attention, we publish our starting rates, and we measure success in phone calls and booked jobs rather than impressions.

Most of our clients came from a referral or from firing an agency that overpromised. We would rather tell you a keyword is not worth chasing than sell you a package that cannot work.

How we operate

Four commitments we do not bend on

Plain-English reporting

You will never receive a 40-page dashboard export with no explanation. Every report opens with what changed, what it produced, and what happens next.

Scope you can hold us to

Deliverables are written down before work begins. If something takes longer than estimated, that is our problem, not a change order.

No lock-in tactics

You own your website, your domain, your Google profile, and your analytics. If you leave, everything goes with you.

One team, one accountability

Your strategist is the person you email and the person in your monthly call. Nothing is offshored to an anonymous queue.
