About
Founded by Tim Schmidt, in SEO since 2001
Ice Cold Marketing is a Fort Lauderdale SEO and AEO agency founded by Tim Schmidt, who has built, scaled, and exited online businesses since 2001.
An operator, not just an agency
Tim started in search when SEO was still being invented. Since 2001 he has built online businesses, grown portfolios of digital assets, and sold companies. That background shapes how Ice Cold Marketing works: we judge marketing by revenue and long-term asset value.
Our clients range from startups to global brands. Some need local leads in Fort Lauderdale. Others need national rankings, affiliate growth, or a stronger brand presence in AI search.
Why SEO and AEO together
Search is now Google results plus AI-written answers. Answer engines draw on many of the same signals as search engines: clear content, trusted sources, structured data, and consistent business details. We work on both, so improvements in one support the other.
How we work
- Senior attention. Strategy comes from experience, not a junior account manager's template.
- Plain answers. We tell you what matters, what doesn't, and what we'd do in your position.
- Revenue first. Rankings and citations matter when they bring calls, leads, and sales.
- Built to last. No shortcuts that put your domain or reputation at risk.
