Lion + Panda

Based in West Chester, Ohio, Lion + Panda works with businesses looking for marketing leadership rather than isolated campaign execution, positioning itself as a fractional CMO partner that embeds with a client's team to guide brand, messaging, and channel strategy. The agency is structured as a small team (1-10 people) and describes itself as a certified Google Partner, taking on the role of an outsourced marketing leadership function for companies that need strategic direction alongside hands-on delivery. The agency's service list spans Fractional CMO services, AI Search Optimization, Web Design and Development, Marketing and Advertising, Video Production, Branding and Design, SEO and Analytics, and Listings and Reviews management. Its SEO approach extends into what it terms GEO (Geographic Search) and AISO (AI Search Optimization), addressing how AI-driven platforms such as Google's SGE, Perplexity, and ChatGPT surface brands, through local relevance mapping, structured data strategies, AI-oriented content workflows, and visibility across multiple AI tools. Beyond search, the agency describes execution across paid media on Meta, Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn, website UX and content strategy, CRM integration and lead nurturing, and video and email journeys, tying these channels together with analytics and attribution. It also describes building backend AI systems to clean and verify CRM data, score leads, and automate reporting and proposals, aiming to reduce manual data work for client teams.
