About Delilah

Southern California creative agency.

Full-service creative marketing team for local businesses — SEO + AI search, websites, content, ads, and Google reviews, run as one system. Based in Southern California, serving Los Angeles + Orange County.

ABOUT DELILAH

Every brand we work with should win and want to tell people about it.

Delilah Agency is a full-service creative marketing team built for local businesses across Los Angeles and Orange County. We're the marketing department most local businesses don't have time to hire — one senior team running your search and AI visibility, website, content, ads, Google reviews, and social growth as a single system, not five disconnected vendors.

What we do: Found Everywhere (SEO + AI search, so customers find you on Google and in AI answers), custom websites and automations, reputation management, ads management, content and social, and full-stack retainers up to Delilah Ultra — a complete marketing team engagement for brands ready to scale. Everything is custom-scoped on a demo call; most work is live within 5–7 days, and client site edits go live within 24 hours.

Who we are

Who we serve: restaurants and cafes, salons, barbers and med spas, fitness studios, boutiques and retail, car businesses and local services — businesses locals actually visit. Engagements run from $199/mo to full-scale retainers, with a free AI + Google Visibility Audit as the easiest way to start.

Based in Newport Beach, CA. Team of fewer than 10 — small on purpose, senior on every account.

Built by people who've done the work

Our team comes from the other side of the camera and the studio. We've worked on campaigns, shoots, and productions for global fashion houses, major brands, record labels, modeling agencies, and creative studios, so we know what great content looks like and what it takes to make a brand stand out. Now we bring that same level to every client.

THE TEAM

Patrick Cotter, Founder

Patrick started Delilah because he's spent years on every side of how brands get made and seen. He's a producer and recording engineer who runs his own professional studio, and the founder of OTL Music, Delilah's music marketing division, where he works with artists, labels, and playlist brands to get songs heard.

In front of the camera, he's a signed model with Public Image and Freedom Models, and he's shot and worked with global names like Dior, Zara, and Vince. That's where he learned what separates content that looks good from content that actually performs.

When he's not in the studio or on set, he's on the water, running boats out of Newport Beach. He's built Delilah around one simple idea: every brand we work with should win, and want to tell people about it.

Operations

Campaign delivery and client operations — run by an Orange County local with a marketing degree from Cal State Long Beach and hands-on experience managing digital ad campaigns across Meta and TikTok.

The operations desk keeps every campaign on schedule, every report on time, and every client close to the work — so brands get the recognition they deserve and always know what's running and what's next.

What we do

  • Found Everywhere — SEO + AI Search: We get your business found in AI answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity — and in traditional search: Google profile management, rankings tracked across 120 local queries, citation building, and plain-English reporting on where you rank and where AI recommends you. $199/mo flat, no setup fee, no contract.
  • Websites + Automations: Custom websites designed to convert visitors into calls and bookings — booking flows, lead capture, CRM connections, and follow-up automations wired into one machine. Most builds live within 5–7 days; edit requests go live within 24 hours after launch. Custom pricing, scoped on a consultation call.
  • Reputation Management: Review growth on every platform that matters — Google, Yelp, Facebook, BBB, industry directories — with an automated review ask after every job, reminder follow-ups, a response to every review, and a monthly reputation report. Real customers only. No gating, no incentives, no fake reviews, ever. $199/mo flat.
  • Ads Management: Meta and Google ads managed end-to-end — creative direction, targeting, and ongoing optimization. Management is billed at 20% of ad spend on your own ad accounts, so every dollar is visible. No long-term contracts; scale spend up or down anytime.
  • Content + Social: Monthly content production for local brands: short-form video, photography, and graphics from a monthly shoot day, edited and delivered ready to post — plus strategy, posting, and community management, so your channels run like a system.
  • Email Marketing: Email and SMS that bring past customers back — plus always-on lead response that answers every new inquiry in under a minute. Monthly campaigns, follow-up sequences, and list growth, handled end-to-end.
  • Full Stack + Delilah Ultra: One team running your entire growth system — search, AI visibility, website, reviews, content, and ads under a single retainer, with a live dashboard. The Full Stack runs $499/mo + $199 setup; our flagship Delilah Ultra engagement is $4,995/mo, capped at five clients.
  • Instagram Repost Campaigns: Coordinated Instagram distribution through real local accounts across LA and Orange County — real people in your city, not bots.
  • Music Marketing (OTL Music): Delilah's music division. Playlisting, short-form song campaigns, creator seeding, and release marketing for artists and labels.

  • Brand Strategy + Identity: Positioning, naming direction, logo, and a visual identity system your whole business can run on — built by senior designers, delivered as a complete brand kit with guidelines.

  • Copywriting: Website copy, ad copy, and brand messaging that sounds like you on your best day — clear, local, and written to convert readers into calls.

  • Photography: Product, food, interior, and lifestyle photography for local brands — shot on location, edited, and delivered ready for your site, Google profile, and socials.

  • Influencer Marketing: Local creator and influencer campaigns — sourcing, outreach, content coordination, and tracking. Custom campaigns built around real local audiences, never fake engagement — scoped on a demo call.
  • UGC: Authentic user-style video and photo content for ads and socials — creators sourced and managed, content delivered ready to run. Built for paid social testing.

  • Creative Direction: A senior creative eye across your whole brand — campaign concepts, shoot direction, and quality control on everything that ships, so every piece looks like it came from one team.
  • Ad Creative: Scroll-stopping ad creative for Meta and Google — concepts, copy, design, and short-form video variants built for testing. Pairs with our ads management or your in-house buyer.
  • Marketing Strategy: A full audit of your current marketing and a written growth plan — where you're invisible, what to fix first, and what it should cost. Delivered on a working session; free visibility audit available as a first step.
  • Growth Marketing: One team running your entire growth system — search, AI visibility, website, reviews, content, and ads under a single retainer with a live dashboard. Flagship: Delilah Ultra, our full-scale marketing team engagement at $4,995/mo, capped at five clients.

Proof

We run it on ourselves first.

Every service we sell is one we operate on our own businesses — Delilah Agency and OTL Music — before a client ever pays for it. Three examples, all live now:

SEO + AI Search · Delilah Agency

Zero to #1 in seven weeks.

We built a full AI-visibility program on ourselves first: a 120-query tracking set across every service and city we sell, an answer-ready site structure for AI crawlers, and a content engine publishing tracked-query articles. Today Delilah ranks in organic results for 19 of 120 tracked queries — 8 at #1 and 13 in the top 3 (Nov 2026 snapshot) — from a standing start on a domain bought in September 2026.

Web Development · Delilah + OTL Music

Custom checkout + CRM plumbing.

The systems behind both of our sites are custom-built: Stripe checkout workers that capture order details — phone, name, city, post or track link — straight into Airtable CRMs, plus lead-form proxies and per-brand order pipelines. Two live businesses on custom commerce and lead infrastructure — no plugins, no page builders, edits deployed within 24 hours.

Paid Ads + UGC · Delilah Agency

UGC that recruits.

Our recruiting ads are shot as native UGC — real-person, selfie-style vertical video, captioned for sound-off viewing — and run as Meta campaigns in Dayton and Orange County, plus Craigslist placements, all driving one application flow on small-test-first budgets. Concept, shoot, and edit are all in-house — the same production we offer clients.
