BEND, OR, February 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Todd Stager has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Stager is a digital marketing and search strategy professional with more than three decades of experience, recognized for building performance-driven growth systems, translating complex technical concepts into practical strategies, and advancing SEO practices from the earliest days of online discovery to today's AI-influenced search landscape. He is also an author and inventor, holding U.S. Patent No. 6,592,537 for a wristpad apparatus.

In 2024, Mr. Stager founded SEO for Lawyers LLC, a specialized agency focused on helping law firms strengthen website performance, user experience and search visibility through comprehensive technical and content strategies. In February 2026, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued Registration No. 8,130,429 for the LAWSEO® mark to SEO for Lawyers, LLC, reflecting the firm's specialization and brand identity within the legal marketing space.

Prior to establishing SEO for Lawyers LLC, Mr. Stager built his reputation as an independent search engine optimization consultant under the Todd Stager SEO Agency banner from 1996 to 2025, delivering customized strategies for organizations across multiple industries. During the late 1990s, he helped an e-commerce business earn top category visibility on major search platforms of the era and supported early adoption of pay-per-click advertising as the channel emerged. He also collaborated internationally with manufacturing partners to introduce new consumer products to the U.S. market, including the first LED-powered fiber-optic Christmas tree.

From 2017 to 2024, Mr. Stager served as director of strategy and national director of SEO strategy at Rankings.io. In this leadership capacity, he contributed to the development and execution of large-scale digital campaigns for law firms nationwide, supporting measurable improvements in online visibility and client acquisition. He also played a significant role as the sole sales executive and increased the company's MRR from six figures to seven figures in a few short years.

Earlier, Mr. Stager served as vice president of research and development at iCrossing Inc. from 1998 to 2000 (later acquired by Hearst for over $300 million). Again, he played a key role in the company's rapid growth phase and worked across strategy, technology, sales, consultation and execution as the organization expanded. From 1996 to 1998, he worked as a multimedia specialist at JMB Multimedia, developing digital content and interactive multimedia, including work supporting Allied Signal and Motorola.

Before his civilian career, Mr. Stager served in the U.S. Army and the National Guard in roles spanning communications, nuclear/biological/chemical reconnaissance and military intelligence analysis. He credits that period with strengthening the discipline, technical aptitude and analytical mindset that later shaped his approach to technology-driven business solutions.

Long before digital marketing became a profession, Mr. Stager developed early business instincts through hands-on work in the traveling amusement industry during his youth, learning operations, audience engagement and the fundamentals of promotion—experience that later influenced his vision of building "digital midway" experiences as the internet took shape.

Mr. Stager earned an associate degree in multimedia virtual reality from the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona, in 1999. He further distinguished himself through industry training and certifications, including technical SEO coursework through Moz (formerly SEOMoz), inbound marketing certification through HubSpot Academy, and advanced training in analytics and paid search.

A prolific author, Mr. Stager has published multiple books, including Mastering Digital Marketing with OpenAI: Using ChatGPT for Internet Marketing (2023), SEO for LAWYERS: The Ultimate Guide to Dominating Search Rankings, Attracting Clients, and Skyrocketing Your Firm's Growth in the Digital Age (2025), and SEO Essentials 2025: A Modern Guide to Mastering Search Engine Optimization (2025).

Mr. Stager and his wife, Ana Gabriela Porras Villeda, divide their time between Bend, Oregon, and Costa Rica. Together, they partner in business ventures based in Costa Rica, including Agency of the Sea, a yacht-services firm providing customs clearance, yacht importation and nationalization, and concierge support for superyachts visiting Costa Rica. They also launched the Spanish-language children's music channel, Pijama Llama Show, which has attracted more than 400,000 subscribers in less than one year.

Looking ahead, Mr. Stager is focused on leveraging artificial intelligence to improve marketing strategy and client acquisition, while exploring tools built on multiple AI and LLM platforms and strengthening the reliability and security of modern digital systems. He is particularly interested in designing and deploying AI agents that help solo operators and small teams achieve enterprise-level output—reflecting his long-standing commitment to championing the underdog.
