I, Cory Holmes, am the owner and founder of Holmes Digital Services, a Consulting Firm based in Saint Louis, Mo.
I originally got involved with Digital Marketing while running my online CBD Brand, Holmes Organics.
When I started Holmes Organics, I had every intention on running paid ads to drive traffic to my website.
However, after designing my website, I found out that I could NOT run social media or paid ads which means my website was not generating traffic and as a result, wasn’t generating any sales. I had about $4000 worth of product that I couldn't sell so I started to Google things like “how to advertise CBD” and stumbled across SEO in 2019. I then found out how competitive the CBD industry was for SEO.
From this point onwards, I had studied SEO, day in & day out. I mastered the skill within 3 years and now I regularly helps business owners in Saint Louis rank higher in Google to generate more traffic and revenue. I even obtained an M.B.A. from St. Louis University where I specialized in Digital Marketing.
SEO is forever changing and to stay on top of your game you have to constantly be trying and testing new things. I regularly attends SEO training to ensure I'm always updated on the latest Google algorithm updates and trends.
With the acceptance of AI Content by Google, I can now leverage AI to produce SEO Optimized landing pages, blogs, email newsletters, and more at scale. I want to share my knowledge with you.

HDS was founded by Cory Holmes in 2023. Cory noticed a growing trend of companies who were focusing on Digital Marketing and leverage AI + Automation to save money and time, while increasing business outcomes at scale.
With the rise of AI, there were many "AI companies" offering super expensive subscriptions of AI capabilities that are simply built on top of ChatGPT.
There was no real strategy, no data protection, and no way of fully integrating AI with business software that companies are using. Marketing operations was all over the place and quite frankly it was a waste of time and money.
Even after content (AI-generated or not) was created for videos, marketing copy or blog posts, there are lots hours of manual effort per day to post on all social platforms. It's exhausting to keep up and stay consistent.
Sound familiar?
Holmes Digital Services was built to be different, as a result, our primary focus is ROI (Return on investment) and Return On Time Invested (ROTI). As business owners too, we understand that at the end of the day its efficiency and the bottom line that matters most.
Our process is like no other, we have our methods down to a science and every decision made is based on real life data, not by some “AI expert” or "SEO Expert" making it up as they go along.
Our 4 core values are Integrity, Education, Communication, and Results.
You're not just getting a stuffy Consulting Agency who is going to piece together basic digital strategies. NO! You'll be partnering with an agency that sees the full picture. An agency who has started and streamlined marketing operations for companies in various industries.
