About HPO.Center
We're not just another digital agency. HPO.Center was founded on the principle of genuinely Helping People Out – empowering local businesses to achieve sustainable online success through expertly engineered websites and strategic SEO.
Guiding Principles
Our work is informed by principles of integrity, generosity, and excellence. Before we write a single line of code, we align ourselves with these values.
More Than Just a Name
The name HPO.Center isn't just branding; it's our core operational philosophy. We saw too many businesses investing in digital marketing services that delivered short-term bumps but no lasting value. We decided to do things differently.
Our focus is on building long-term digital assets. We partner with businesses to construct high-performance websites and robust SEO foundations that act as powerful, automated lead-generation engines. We believe in building something valuable with you, not just for you.
Startup Spirit, Elite Standards
We are proud to maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Although we are considered a startup and are not yet accredited, we bring elite skills and unwavering dedication to every project. We view our startup status as a strength—it keeps us hungry, agile, and personally invested in your success.
We are actively looking to land the right clients who value this level of partnership. We maintain our A+ score by providing friendly customer service, delivering elite results, and engineering solutions to most worries. We believe in total transparency and earning your trust through measurable performance.
What Makes HPO.Center Different?
Most agencies sell services. We build engines.
True Partnership Model
Forget endless retainers. Our unique model involves an initial investment to engineer your digital growth engine. After the build phase, our success is directly tied to yours through a commission structure. It’s a genuine partnership.
Tier 3 Technical Engineering
We go beyond templates. Our "Tier 3" approach involves deep technical expertise, precision coding for elite performance, and advanced strategies like structured data for AI-readiness. We build websites engineered to dominate.
Local Focus, On-Site Service
As a Service Area Business based in Pasadena, we understand the Southern California market. We meet you where you are – at your business location – to truly understand your needs.
Meet the Founder
With a passion for both technology and helping local entrepreneurs thrive, I founded HPO.Center to provide the high-caliber digital strategies often reserved for large corporations to the businesses that form the backbone of our communities. I believe in transparent, results-driven work and building lasting relationships with my partners.
I'm Google Certified and actively involved in the Google Developer and PayPal Developer programs, ensuring we leverage the latest, most effective technologies for your growth.
Connecting with Our Community
We believe strong communities are built on strong local businesses. You'll often find us connecting with fellow entrepreneurs at networking events throughout Pasadena and Los Angeles County.
We also share a passion for the automotive world and enjoy participating in local car shows – it’s a great way to meet people and appreciate craftsmanship, whether it's in code or chrome! Seeing our clients' branding (like custom canopies we've designed) out in the wild at these events is always a highlight.
