Our story

From one SEO specialist to a full digital team

Rank Higher started with a simple frustration. Too many business owners were paying for websites nobody could find, and for SEO they could not understand. Our founder, Muhammad Junaid, had spent years doing SEO and web development for clients around the world, and saw the same problem again and again: search, ads and websites were handled by different people who never talked to each other.

In 2018 he founded Rank Higher in Islamabad to fix that. One team plans the search strategy, builds the website and runs the campaigns, so every part works towards the same goal: more customers for the business.

Today we work with local businesses across Pakistan and with clients in more than 12 countries. We build on WordPress, Shopify, Laravel and PHP, and we help brands show up not only on Google but in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI assistants.
