Joseph started LaunchHappy after noticing a consistent pattern: Squarespace business owners were paying generalist agencies for SEO that didn't account for Squarespace's specific platform constraints - and they were paying for outcomes that couldn't be measured against any public standard.
The firm grew by being honest about what SEO could and couldn't deliver, by publishing methodology openly, and by building 4.9-star delivery at scale. The 600+ clients and 900+ reviews aren't marketing numbers - they're the operational consequence of doing that repeatedly.
When AI search began rewriting the citability landscape in 2024–2025, Joseph designed the GEO Certified™ Standard as the thing he wished had existed: a public, versioned, falsifiable benchmark for AI citability - one that a client could look up, a journalist could reference, and a competing agency couldn't quietly copy without naming the source.
He reviews every certification personally. If it says "reviewed by Joseph Conroy," he reviewed it.
