Most companies don’t have a traffic problem. They have a system problem.

Traffic gets bought, then loses value at every step that follows. Fixing one channel doesn’t fix that.

Channels run in silos. Paid media and organic search are managed separately, so nobody sees what’s working across both.

Leads lose value after the click. Landing pages, forms, and follow-up break down between the visit and the customer.

Performance can’t be trusted. Tracking is incomplete or unclear, so budget decisions rest on numbers nobody has checked.

One system, five parts, measured to revenue.

We run every part of the funnel as one connected system, so what we learn in one channel changes what we do in the others.

Paid media

Campaigns built and managed for return, not reach. Google, Microsoft, and Meta, with budget moved toward what converts.

Organic search: SEO and AEO

Technical fixes and content that earn rankings, AI answer visibility, and qualified traffic, not just more pages.

Conversion optimization

We audit the path from click to customer, then test the changes that matter most. No dev team required to get started.

Analytics and measurement

Tracking you can trust. Most accounts we inherit are measuring something. Rarely the thing the business runs on.

Local search

Maps, listings, and reviews for businesses that depend on nearby customers.

Clients describe the work better than we can.

A disciplined approach to digital marketing and conversion optimization helped simplify complex challenges and improve performance. The focus stayed on what actually drives results, with a clear and practical approach throughout.

Alex Porter

Chief Executive Officer, Location3

Paid media and analytics were structured to improve how budget was allocated and measured. The result was more efficient spend, clearer performance insights, and stronger return without increasing overall budget.

Andrea Pearson

Chief Growth Officer, DispatchHealth

SEO, paid media, and conversion efforts started working together more effectively. That alignment led to stronger performance and a more consistent path from click to customer.

Matthew Strelitz

Director of Marketing, SonderMind

We have partnered with Nick on complicated projects with plenty of stakeholders and blockers, and he consistently drove them to completion. He brings an invaluable lens to paid media, spotting wasted budget and restructuring spend to maximize conversions.

Alex Dias

Co-Founder, Scratch Digital Co

Senior people do the work. Every time.

Otter Ridge was founded in 2022 by Nick Neels, after more than 20 years in growth marketing, including leading paid media, SEO, and customer acquisition at a healthcare company that scaled from one market to a national network.

Engagements are run by senior operators, not handed down to junior account managers. You talk to the person doing the work, and the strategy and the execution stay in the same hands.
