I help businesses grow online
and have fun doing it ...My specialty is Search Engine Optimization “SEO” and website design. I was born and raised in Kansas, and spent 11 years in California perfecting my skills. In 2018 I moved to St Pete to start a new life chapter, with the goal of finding my people … and I did as St Pete is my forever home!
Who is ...
Joey Rayl
Joey moved to St Pete in 2018 …
Saltwater Club was started by Joey Rayl, click here to see his profile on LinkedIn. His family have been small business owners for many generations. Joey started his first business at age 16 and hasn’t stopped since.
For over a decade Joey lived in California working on startups, SEO, and new technologies. He loved the rush and thrill of new inventions, but something was always missing. Most big tech companies eventually hurt small businesses.
So … Joey had an idea. Leave California, settle in a smaller “community focused” city, get back to his roots, and start a business specialized in helping small local businesses. Joey found St Petersburg and fell in love … then created Saltwater Club to fight for the little guys and bring back happiness to business owners.
