Most firms selling AI services were founded after the technology they sell. iAnalyst was founded in 2009, in Miami, to do one thing: make marketing spend measurable and then make the measurements better. The first fifteen years looked like paid search, SEO, social campaigns, analytics builds, and websites - delivered for global brands and for hundreds of small and mid-market businesses across Florida and beyond.
That history is not nostalgia; it is method. Performance marketing is an unforgiving teacher: every claim gets audited by a budget owner, every tactic decays, and the only durable advantage is the discipline of instrument, baseline, test, keep what pays. We have applied that discipline through every platform shift since 2009. AI is the biggest one yet, and the discipline transfers exactly.
Today the practice has three doors: AI consulting for deciding where AI pays off, AI optimization for applying it to the channels and workflows you already run, and AI transformation for redesigning processes around it. Behind all three are the same senior analysts who ran the firm's growth work, now running its AI work.
The platform credentials are current: iAnalyst is a Google Premier Partner, a Microsoft Advertising partner, and a Meta Business partner, maintained through the spend the firm manages on those platforms every day.

What we believe about AI
AI is a hypothesis until it is measured in your business. We do not sell inevitability, disruption decks, or tools for their own sake. We sell verified deltas: a cost per acquisition that went down, a workflow that takes a fifth of the time, a search presence that now includes the AI answers your buyers actually read. Roughly a third of the AI ideas we evaluate for clients do not survive their own test, and reporting that honestly is the service.
If that sounds like the way you want AI handled in your business, the front door is a thirty-minute working session with a senior analyst. Book it at the booking page, or browse the full service practice to see where we would start.
