SEO.com,which is a Online marketing and Search engine optimization company ,is now expanding his service along with acquisition of Graphics.net, by including Web designing/development along with other services.The acquisition of Grahics.net by SEO.com is for an undisclosed amount.Micheal Benson,has joined SEO.com as the Vice president of Web development from Graphics.net.Graphics.net is a Maryland based company,the acquisition of it by SEO.com makes sense,as SEO.com can combine website optimization with design services and social media applications.Its also interesting to note that,in the past,Graphics.net had did some design and other work for SEO.com.So,this makes clear that, there was already a collaboration between them.There may be more connections than this,as both are are portfolio companies of private equity firm WashingtonVC.Moreover ,this might not be an acquisition,as the capitalists may try to melt both of them together.SEO.com says that,after a decade,there was a considerable growth in its business and it has increased its size to five times in last year alone by increasing the number of working employees from 12 employess to more than 50 today and has moved its firm to salt lake county,which is a larger office.But ,it’s not clear for me,as I am not sure,how many employees from Graphis.net has transitioned to SEO.com.
