What it does: Creates and places ads tied to keywords on search engines.

Why it's growing: It uses its own technology to be listed highly when anyone's searching for search-marketing help. It has added phone-number tracking to online ads. "The missing link between clicking on an ad in a search engine and picking up the phone is all the data that's lost; you don't know where they came from or what keyword they searched for," says founder and CEO Michael Mothner. Now Wpromote can display different toll-free numbers depending on the ad showing.

What's noteworthy: Mothner, 26, started the business during his sophomore year at Dartmouth.
