Shmeer is a financial services marketing agency led by a founder with an investment banking background. We help financial advisors, insurance agencies, mortgage lenders, accounting firms and fintechs grow with SEO, compliant advertising, content and AI visibility, built around the regulations your industry lives with.
People take their time choosing who to trust with their money. They compare credentials, reviews, fees and expertise, read for weeks and increasingly ask AI assistants for recommendations. Search engines hold financial content to a higher standard, so thin or generic pages don’t rank.
Every message is also regulated. Investment advisers follow the SEC Marketing Rule, broker-dealers FINRA Rule 2210, lenders federal and state advertising rules, and insurers state insurance regulations. Ad platforms add their own: Meta requires financial ads in the U.S. to run under its Financial Products and Services category, which limits targeting.

The problem: Busy-season capacity, and clients who stay for years once they choose.
