Our Story

Why Buckeye Rank Exists

The idea for Buckeye Rank was born from a realization by Zeeshan Farhad (Zee), a Licking County-based entrepreneur who saw the struggles of small businesses in Ohio. After reading an article titled “Ohio rated as one of the worst states in the US“, he dug deeper into Ohio’s business rankings, exploring U.S. News Best States Report and other research.

One thing became clear—Ohio had incredible potential, but small businesses weren’t reaching their full digital potential.

Many businesses in Licking County, Franklin County, and across Ohio relied on word-of-mouth, outdated marketing, or basic websites. But in today’s world, that’s not enough. Customers search online, check reviews, and expect professional, mobile-friendly, and high-ranking websites before choosing a service or product.

Instead of accepting the status quo, Zee saw an opportunity to make a real impact. That’s when he launched Buckeye Rank—a digital marketing agency focused on helping Ohio-based businesses compete and thrive online.
