Garrett McClure is president of Born & Bred, a San Francisco brand agency doing roughly $3.5M a year, CEO of GVG Agency in LA, and he’s building toward a $25–30M agency roll-up. An AI agent audited everything he owns on the web in one session. The 13-page report it produced is at the bottom of this page.

Start With What the Agent Verified
The agent pulled live Ahrefs data on every property: Born & Bred (bornandbredbrand.com) carries DR 27 with 87 keywords and ~654 visits a month — but 815 referring domains have been lost against 422 still live. GVG Agency sits at DR 14. Garrett’s personal site is a Wix build frozen at ©2023, positioned for coaching, with a Domain Rating of 0.5.
It also verified the credibility assets: 51% acquisition of Born & Bred via a cold email (~Feb 2025, founders Kyle Merwin and George De’Ath staying on minority), and his 2022 book Stories That F*cking Matter with a William Shatner foreword.
Read the Five Gaps That Cost Real Money
- Lorem Ipsum is live on the agency homepage — placeholder text sitting in the forms of a $3.5M agency’s front door.
- Obituaries outrank him for his own name — no Knowledge Panel, and “garrett mcclure” (10 searches/mo) returns other people’s memorial pages.
- No YouTube presence anywhere — for a brand-storytelling agency president with a book about stories.
- “Healthcare branding agency” unranked — 580 searches/month, keyword difficulty 3, $10 CPC: the easiest commercial keyword in his niche is unclaimed.
- Two duplicate Born & Bred LinkedIn company pages splitting the agency’s social proof.
See the 90-Day Plan the Agent Mapped
The plan maps to our 10-skill personal-brand library: entity home rebuild on garrettmcclure.com, founder-forward About pages on both agencies, a YouTube channel seeded from existing speaking footage, Dollar-a-Day amplification at $30/day across LinkedIn, Meta, and YouTube, and Knowledge Panel groundwork. We bootstrap the agents; his ops team inherits everything by Day 90.
The economics
Modeled impact: +$90K–$420K year-one revenue and 90–270 founder hours returned, against roughly $14K of program cost. The full model with assumptions is in the PDF.
