My name is Madeleine Costa, founder of Succeeding Small. I began my company when I realized I sought something different than the large-scale marketing companies that dominated the market. I wanted to serve the small businesses that reminded me of those that made up my family for generations. It was important to me to provide superior marketing at an affordable price.
After earning my Bachelor’s degree in English and Marketing, studying the complex algorithms that search engines use to rank websites and successfully managing dozens of digital marketing campaigns, I have been able to form a deep understanding of how to successfully grow small businesses online.
As a Colorado Springs native, I love that my job allows me to give back to the small business community that helped shape my Colorado Springs experiences. Whether you’re a family chiropractor or a photographer, I always enjoy being able to experience an entrepreneur’s journey to becoming a successful small business owner.

I was first introduced to Succeeding Small as an intern while pursuing my business marketing and philosophy degree from UCCS. In the internship program, I fell in love with working with small businesses, seeing them grow, and getting them the digital visibility that they deserve.
I now work as a copywriter for Succeeding Small where I create unique content for local businesses to grow their online presence. It is incredibly rewarding to work with small businesses and their owners, hear their stories, and deliver engaging content to boost their brand awareness in today’s digital world.
I started working in the affiliate space in 2017, looking to create commercial websites while living in Asia. I dedicated a significant amount of time in those years to studying SEO principles and found some success in getting small websites to rank. Every year I would head to Thailand for the annual SEO Conference to try and learn new strategies from thought leaders in the industry.
In 2019, I hosted the Shenzhen SEO Conference, introducing several notable figures from China and abroad involved in internet commerce. In 2021, I decided to approach what I’d learned professionally and apply the strategies to local SEO and joined Succeeding Small.
I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania that loves and supports all small businesses which is how I fell in love with helping small business owners. As a website designer, I get to help small business owners in an impactful way.
I’ve been designing websites for almost 3 years now and love to take a website that isn’t meeting the business’s goals and turn it into a converting website. I enjoy coming up with creative, innovative solutions to help small business owners succeed, which is exactly what I get to do at Succeeding Small.

Small businesses hold a special place in my heart, and being part of their growth journey is deeply rewarding.
