New Orleans CityBusiness’s 2024 Best Places to Work

Search Influence proudly announces that our search engine marketing agency has been named to New Orleans CityBusiness’s 2024 Best Places to Work list in the Small Company category.

This is our team’s third year in a row receiving this honor and our fifth time overall. This recognition is a testament to the honorees’ commitment to creating environments where employees thrive, reinforcing their reputations as employers of choice in the region.

About the CityBusiness Best Places to Work List

Since its inception in 2003, the New Orleans CityBusiness Best Places to Work list has highlighted top employers in the New Orleans area, celebrating both large and small businesses that excel in fostering outstanding workplaces. Companies are selected based on a thorough evaluation process that combines employee feedback with an analysis of workplace benefits, such as health care options, paid time off, salary averages, and employee programs.

To qualify for consideration, businesses must meet two key criteria. First, they must achieve a minimum survey response rate: 40% for companies with 25 or more employees, and 80% for organizations with fewer than 25 employees. Second, businesses must secure an average positive response rate of at least 80% from their employees across eight core focus areas, including Leadership and Planning, Corporate Culture and Communications, Role Satisfaction, and Pay and Benefits.

CityBusiness categorizes companies by size, using the U.S. Small Business Administration’s guidelines that define small businesses as having fewer than 50 employees and large businesses as having 50 or more employees.

Build Your Career at Search Influence

For many of our team members, Search Influence isn’t just a job; it’s where they build their careers.

Our average employee tenure of 5.9 years is a testament to the healthy work environment Co-Founders Will and Angie Scott set out to create nearly 20 years ago.

Search Influence has come a long way since our early days as a spare bedroom operation. We now boast a client list featuring household names across several industries including higher education, healthcare, and hospitality.

With that progress, we’ve created robust benefits for our team, including:

  • Generous paid time off, which increases with tenure
  • Fully remote work
  • 13 paid, movable company holidays
  • Multiple comprehensive health insurance plans
  • 401k employee contributions and employer match
  • The IDEA Committee
  • Dependent care accounts for making childcare more affordable
  • Access to financial advisors & wellness tools
  • Maternity / paternity / adoptive parental leave
  • Company-sponsored team-building activities and events

As a woman-owned digital marketing agency, Search Influence is dedicated to advancing gender equality and creating an inclusive workplace for women.

CityBusiness recognized this commitment earlier this year by naming us an honoree in the 2024 Empowering Women Awards.
