About Cory Holmes
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.

About Holmes Digital Services
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 grew out of a simple observation: small businesses were being sold two bad options. Pay an agency every month for SEO work you never see the inside of, or buy a course and get left to figure it out alone. Neither one gives you something you actually own.So we built a third option: an AI SEO consultant, configured specifically for your business, running on the same tools and data agencies use, that you keep whether or not you ever hire me again.
What we bring?
- Hands-on experience building and configuring AI systems, not just talking about them
- A background in Digital Marketing, AI, Data and AI SEO strategy, not just prompt writing
- A straight answer about what AI can and can't do for your business
