Founding story

From one studio in San Gabriel to a 340+ studio growth system

Our founder grew up watching his mother run a 14-year massage studio in San Gabriel, Los Angeles. The business survived on craft and word-of-mouth—until a Massage Envy franchise opened next door in 2018 with a $70/mo membership, an English site, and a constant Google Ads pipeline. In one year, new client volume dropped 30%.

In 2020 she paid an English agency $4,500/mo for six months. The output was English PDFs she could not read; bookings still slipped. That made it obvious—US massage owners do not need fancier SEO; they need a search growth system they can read, audit, and trust.

rubmp exists to close that gap: massage-only vertical focus, eight years of enterprise SEO methodology productized for studios, plain-language reporting, and pricing that aligns to outcomes—not retainers.

Why Massage Studios Choose rubmp

A focused growth system

Three things we go deep on—because every one of them maps to a real pain point our studio owners told us about, again and again.

Massage-only vertical focus

No med spas, no nail salons, no restaurants. Every keyword cluster, benchmark, and case study lives inside massage / spa / studio workflows. That focus is the only way to actually be best-in-class for this category.

Plain-language reporting

English dashboards and monthly reviews that tie rankings to calls and booked demand—so owners can act without decoding vanity PDFs.

Outcomes-aligned pricing

Three published tiers ($399 / $799 / $1,299), no minimum lock-in, written protections when milestones miss. We use platform scale to keep the price honest—not to hide complexity.

Office workspace
Inside rubmp

A tech company that grew up in a living room

rubmp started in the founder’s living room with two whiteboards—"How do we rank my mom’s studio?" and "Can the same playbook work for Lily, Vivian, and Helen?". Today rubmp is a remote team of SEO engineers, client success, AI content editors, and industry advisors working across the Pacific.

Industry + engineering, in one room

Every account pairs an SEO engineer with a studio-operations-fluent CS lead. Technical and business decisions stay close.

Same-day response

Emergency events (GBP suspensions, malicious reviews) get a 4-hour response. Day-to-day requests live in a ticket system owners can actually use.

Meet the Team

You meet the operators—not the salespeople

These are the leads you actually work with month over month. The wider team includes content editors, technical engineers, and industry advisors who rotate based on your stage.

Our service area

50 US states — densest in major massage metros

Our densest coverage is in Greater LA (San Gabriel Valley + Rowland Heights), NYC (Flushing + Bayside), the Bay Area, Houston, Dallas, Boston, Seattle, and Chicago—yet active clients live across all 50 states. Lower-density metros often move faster because competition is lighter.
