AlchemyLeads Announces 250% Increase in Gross Revenue for the Fiscal Year of 2020 with an improving 92% ARR

Los Angeles-based marketing firm Alchemy Leads is thrilled to announce that they concluded FY 2020 by nearly tripling gross revenues and improving their annual retention to nearly 100%. Founded with a mission to build the latest and greatest tools for marketers and grow small businesses, AlchemyLeads leverages the power of digital channels to empower marketers, reach people in bold new ways, and deliver customized service to each and every partner.

 

AlchemyLeads is a digital marketing agency that serves small businesses. The company offers marketing methods, software solutions, and outreach strategies that help small businesses manage their lead generation campaigns and grow their customer base. They use a combination of data science and A/B testing to maximise the effectiveness of their marketing plans. 

 

Launched in 2017, AlchemyLeads has seen a massive growth in its business over the past year. In fact, it was able to increase headcount by 400% and achieve an annual recurring revenue of 92%. AlchemyLeads also nearly tripled gross revenues in 2020, again proving that offering high-quality products and a great customer experience can lead to rapid growth for your business. They doubled their customer base in 2019, and tripled it by the end of 2020, showing promising growth moving into 2021 and the post-pandemic business landscape.

 

Other highlights from FY 2020 include significant improvements in net profitability and total revenues. AlchemyLeads was started in 2017 and has grown its gross revenues to nearly $1M annually, in just 2 short years. Rapid expansion of employment accelerated top-line growth and market penetration. The company’s rapid growth also led to a higher concentration of business in the hands of a few key executives who were primarily responsible for the company’s success.

 

Sean Chaudhary, Founder and CEO, commented, “Reaching consumers at the right time and in the right place is a serious challenge for marketers. Direct mail, newspapers, and large-venue advertising are still important channels that can help reach consumers at home, but consumers are increasingly turning to low-contact experiences including mobile apps, apps businesses do not own, and digital delivery of services. AlchemyLeads is now the platform to help local businesses survive in today’s changed marketplace. 

 

Since launching in 2017, we’ve made a substantial return on investment for our customers by delivering billions of digital engagements that have proven to increase consumer frequency and spend. Brands facing an inability to pursue traditional marketing channels are turning to us for help with SEO, direct marketing, content marketing and link outreach strategies.

 

He continued, “For AlchemyLeads, 2020 has been our best year ever. The COVID crisis continues to challenge the global economy. Our customers are not immune, but so far we have seen the least impact on customers and our technology empowers our brands to evolve and spread this disruptive reality. Our customers increased their online sales by 30% in August and are still poised to grow more than 30% year-upon-year. Moreover, during a period of record revenues and margins, we’ve decided to redirect our financial resources toward cultivating stronger, more profitable growth.”

 

AlchemyLeads is now planning for the future, with a focus on building software tools for the SEO industry. The company has also been developing its own automation software which will help companies manage their marketing campaigns better. This presents an opportunity for the company to pursue a unique, wealthy audience in a way that’s hard for competitors to keep up with. 

 

The company has recently announced its plan to release new product lines in BETA stages by Q2 2022. Digital marketing is huge right now, and there’s a lot of competition. To succeed in this space, you need to be building something that’s different, something that can’t easily be replicated by your competitors. AlchemyLeads is promising revolutionary SEM solutions to help businesses grow their SERP presence while spending less and converting more.

Non-Commodity Content

Google just gave the SEO industry a new term. Non-commodity content. Danny Sullivan introduced it at Search Central Live Toronto in April 2026, and Google’s updated AI Search guide put it in writing in May. The framing is sharp. Commodity content is anything someone with a content brief and an internet connection could write. Non-commodity content is the stuff only

Is AI Search Just SEO? The AlchemyLeads Take

Is AI search just SEO? Half the industry says yes. The other half says no. Google says it’s all still SEO. Microsoft has been publishing posts that call it Generative Engine Optimization. Rand Fishkin at SparkToro pushes back on the new acronyms entirely. Two vendors have probably pitched you “GEO services” this quarter. Here’s the honest answer. Yes and no.
