Rooted Web Launches Redesigned Website and RW iQ Marketing Platform for Small Businesses
Emily Blattel · Oct 6, 2026
problem among small businesses: They know consistent marketing matters, but hiring an internal marketing employee or retaining an agency for multiple ongoing services can be difficult to justify.
Rooted Web uses RW iQ behind the scenes to help its marketing team research, plan and produce work for clients. Businesses get the service rather than another piece of software they have to learn and manage.
Services available through RW iQ include ongoing blog content, social media content and SEO designed to improve visibility in traditional search engines as well as results and recommendations generated by large language models such as ChatGPT.
“Small business owners already have enough software to manage,” Gipson said. “We didn’t build RW iQ because they needed another dashboard. We built it so our team could do more of the marketing work for them at a price that makes sense for a smaller business.”
The technology assists Rooted Web’s team with research, planning and production, while the company’s marketers remain responsible for strategy, review and client direction.
The redesigned rootedweb.com also introduces an expanded view of the industries and organizations the company serves, including local government, healthcare, professional services, construction and home services, education, nonprofits, associations, sports organizations, retail and hospitality.
The site provides more information about Rooted Web’s website design, digital marketing and development capabilities while giving prospective clients a clearer path to the services that fit their needs.
