The founder
Todd Meisler.
Industry-recognized SEO specialist and the founder of ZD Design. For more than 30 years, Todd has helped brands lead with purpose and human-centric marketing — and he's still the strategist every client works with directly.
A career spent teaching search
He doesn't just run campaigns. He teaches search.
Todd has spent his career teaching search — founding SEM San Diego and So Cal Marketing Club, speaking at conferences and group events, and leading the ACA Business Club group.
His focus is home-service companies and small business owners: clear strategy, honest reporting, and websites that earn their keep. No account managers, no juniors — every client works one-on-one with Todd to build and execute their marketing plan.
Beyond the desk
An artist at heart.
Beyond marketing, Todd is a singer, songwriter, musician, and painter — dedicated to creativity in all its forms. It shows up in his work: the instinct to make a brand not just heard, but truly felt.
"My passion lies in simplifying the complex and crafting strategies that make your voice not just heard — but truly felt."— Todd, Chief Strategist
