Google Ads and SEO for New Haven Businesses
New Haven is home to Yale University, its largest employer, followed by Yale-New Haven Hospital, and it’s famous for New Haven-style pizza, or “apizza.” Union Station is the southern end of the Hartford Line to Springfield. We run campaigns for businesses in New Haven.
Eds, meds and a lot of renters
Education and health care make up much of the city’s economy. Yale and Yale-New Haven Hospital are the two largest employers, followed by Southern Connecticut State University, and they bring students, researchers, medical staff and patients from across the region. That supports restaurants, housing, child care, health care and professional services, and creates an academic calendar that local businesses can plan around.
We run campaigns for businesses in New Haven from our headquarters in Freehold, NJ. We don’t have an office in Connecticut; New Haven clients work with the same strategists every month by phone and video.
Population 138,774 (Census Vintage 2025).
