Founder, BaggottsBOTs Digital Marketing Agency
Ryan Baggott is the founder of BaggottsBOTs Digital Marketing Agency in Bluffton, SC. He has been marketing Lowcountry businesses since 2009 across a huge range of industries, from award-winning restaurant social media on Hilton Head Island to contractors, manufacturers, and five winning campaigns in the 2026 Beaufort County elections. He also built the AI software platforms Chatbot Builder AI, PayMeGPT, and SuperStack OS.
Lowcountry local since 2009
Ryan was one of the first social media marketing consultants in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, back before "social media marketing" had a name. If you've lived in the Lowcountry anytime since 2009, there's a good chance you've scrolled past a Facebook or Instagram ad, a restaurant special, a resort promo, or a campaign video he made for a local business or brand.
"I'd bet 9 out of 10 locals have seen an ad I made. They just didn't know it was me. And that's the point: it's not about me, it's about the results I get for my clients."

Read the interview02 / Industries and wins
Over the years Ryan has marketed a huge variety of businesses: restaurants, resorts, campaigns, contractors, manufacturers, clubs and software companies. Different industries, same playbook: content people want to watch, ads that reach the right people, and follow-up that never sleeps.
Restaurants and hospitality
Ryan's first paid client was New York City Pizza. At 26 he directed digital marketing for SERG Restaurant Group's Hilton Head Island restaurants, and he has worked with independent restaurants from Daufuskie Island to Savannah. His hospitality management degree from USCB means he speaks fluent covers, comps, and table turns.

Tap The Table
Ryan turned what he learned in Lowcountry kitchens into Tap The Table, software built to serve restaurants anywhere in the world. When COVID closed dining rooms and many restaurants had no way to take to-go orders, he gave restaurants access to the platform for free.
Hotels and resorts
Ryan's career started inside an oceanfront Hilton Head resort, first as a manager and later in revenue management, so he markets hotels knowing exactly how rooms get sold. He has worked with Hilton Head Island hotels and with independent resorts along the Florida coast from Daytona Beach down to Fort Myers.
Political campaigns
In 2022, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner tapped Ryan to run the social media for his re-election campaign. Tanner won, and that campaign became the blueprint for WinVotes.ai, Ryan's political marketing platform.
In 2026, WinVotes.ai and BaggottsBOTs built SEO campaign websites, short-form video, paid social and AI follow-up for five more winners: Beaufort County Sheriff, Hilton Head Island Town Council, Beaufort County School Board, and two Beaufort County Council seats. Several were first-time candidates when the work began.
Home services and trades
On-location video production, websites, local paid ads, missed-call AI and lead capture for service businesses that live and die by the phone. Contractors bring the craftsmanship; we make sure the right homeowners see it and every call gets answered.
Manufacturing
Digital marketing for Gyro-Trac, a forestry and land clearing equipment manufacturer: product video, paid campaigns, websites, and AI call tracking that helps a sales team see every lead.
National brands and nightlife
As Senior Social Media Manager at BFG Communications in Bluffton, Ryan created social video content for national brands including Bud Light, and served as the official videographer for Bud Light's sponsored DJs in Charleston. He also ran nightclub promotions for the Rooftop Bar at Poseidon on Hilton Head Island.
Golf and private clubs
Fast, SEO-ready club websites with booking, events and AI assistants, built on Ryan's own platform.

"My favorite part of my business is coming up with an idea in my head, creating something tangible like a Facebook ad that reaches potentially millions of people, and then getting those people to do something: go to a restaurant, make a hotel reservation, attend an event."
