Meet Ryan Goering

Founder & CEO at BaaDigi – Huntington Beach-based SEO commander.

From Shipyards to Search Engines (1999–2008)

Hi, I’m Ryan Goering. I planted my home base in Huntington Beach in 1999 before sunrise surfing became a daily ritual. By 2001 I co-owned a small shipyard in Newport Beach, later pivoting full-time into yacht brokerage and marine services. Top marks for entrepreneurship, until 2008 hit—business froze like the water in my outboard motors.

Cue the pivot: There were no boat buyers, but there were Google searches. I bought my first domain, slapped together some content, and fell head-over-fins in love with SEO.

From Side Hustle to SEO Hack (2008–2012)

By 2010, multiple niche sites were pulling in thousands per month in passive income.

I was still running the boat business—down from nine employees in 2008 to solo by 2012. That’s when I knew: SEO wasn’t just a side hustle—it was sea level affecting business foundation.

Launching Creactive Inc. (2015–2024)

January 2015: I teamed up with a business partner to launch Creactive Inc., laser‑focused on ranking local home‑service businesses—plumbers, roofers, painters—you name it. Within a few years we served over 280 monthly clients, earning national acclaim for Reagan the “sea lion of SEO.”

The strategy? Local domination. We fine‑tuned Google Business Profiles and keyword strategies tailored per zip code, putting our clients often above HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack in leads and ROI Creactive Inc..

Building BaaDigi: Reinventing Small-Business Marketing (May 2024–Present)

By spring 2024 the partnership had run its course. I launched BaaDigi, LLC, a Huntington Beach boutique agency with scale molded for small businesses in any industry—no exclusives on trades. Our founding story was lauded in the national press as one of “vision and relentless pursuit of excellence,” led by “an entrepreneur with a rich history in digital marketing and a global perspective honed through his service in the Marine Corps” EIN Presswire.

Powered by discipline, processes, and the same small‑client focus that made Creactive famous, BaaDigi hit the ground running:

• Over 4,250 projects completed, 163+ ongoing clients, and 2 industry awards to date Creactive Inc..
• A team of designers, content strategists, and analysts dedicated to making web traffic a reliable engine for growth.

Why People Trust Me With Their SEO

Veteran mindset meets digital hustle: Marine Corps service instilled strategic thinking and global vision—25+ countries later, I understand how algorithms are more predictable than geopolitics baadigi.com.

• Track record over hype: At both Creactive and BaaDigi, we’ve consistently turned Google traffic into paying customers without locking clients into contracts.
• Small business philosophy: We don’t treat clients as numbers—we treat them as market exclusives. One client per neighborhood. One strategy per problem.

Looking Ahead: Why BaaDigi Matters Now

SEO in 2025 isn’t just about keywords. It’s about predicting trends weeks before Google rolls them out. With AI, voice search, and Local Map evolution, your strategy can’t be yesterday’s disorganized laundry list—it needs to be forward‑thinking, data‑driven, and architected to scale.

That’s where BaaDigi stands out: we build algorithms into marketing, not just marketing around algorithms.
