Awareness

Get found by the right people.

SEO, content, brand, and AI search optimization — so the right customers discover you before they discover the competition.

Leads

Fill the pipeline.

Landing pages, paid media, funnels, and conversion optimization that turn traffic into qualified conversations.

Revenue

Grow what you already have.

Pricing, packaging, retention, upsells, and paywalls that compound the value of every customer.

Efficiency

Do more with less, using AI.

AI integrations, workflow automation, and internal tools that reclaim hours and cut operating costs.

Build Track · For experts & operators

Turn what you know
into what people pay for.

You have expertise, a community, or capital — but no product. We run product, design, and engineering end-to-end, so you can ship a real platform without a full CTO hire.

How we work

Product thinking
meets execution.

Breakwater Digital isn't just a dev shop. We operate like a fractional team — product strategy, design, and engineering under one roof, with senior judgment applied to every decision.

Eleven-plus years across fintech, AI, food, fashion, and advertising. The same operators who managed six-figure ad budgets and grew SaaS revenue have also shipped AI products at the Chief Product Officer level. That's why we can credibly grow your business and build your next one.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers to what prospective clients usually ask on the first call.

What does Breakwater Digital actually do?

We run two kinds of engagements. Grow track: we help existing businesses move a specific metric — more awareness (SEO, content, AI search), more leads (landing pages, paid media, CRO), more revenue (pricing, retention, paywalls), or lower cost via AI automation. Build track: we help subject matter experts, creators, and capital operators build new platforms — iOS apps, web apps, and SaaS — as a fractional Chief Product Officer engagement.

Where are you based and who do you work with?

Breakwater Digital is based in Redondo Beach, California. Grow-track engagements are typically local: Redondo Beach, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes, El Segundo, and greater Los Angeles. Build-track engagements are often remote and national because experts, creators, and capital operators aren't geographically clustered.

Are you an agency, a dev shop, or a consultant?

We operate as a product-led consultancy with execution capacity. You work directly with an experienced operator — not a hierarchy of account managers or a bench of juniors. We think about the problem, recommend an approach, and ship the work end-to-end. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and refer you elsewhere.

How do you price projects?

Fixed-scope projects for Grow-track engagements, monthly retainers for Build-track and fractional CPO work. We don't charge hourly — we'd rather be paid for outcomes than time. Pricing varies: smaller websites and SEO engagements start around $8K, platform builds scale to $30K–$150K+.

What's the first step if I want to work with you?

A 30-minute conversation. We talk about what you're trying to do, what's working, what's broken, and what success looks like in 90 days. If we're a fit, we'll propose scope within a week. If we're not, we'll point you toward someone who is.
