Ombre Marketing

AI-led SEO and analytics for Newcastle businesses ready to turn online visibility into measurable growth.

A minimalist, dark-wood conference table in a contemporary Newcastle studio, covered with neatly arranged printed moodboards of innovative brand concepts, gradient colour palettes, and AI-generated mockups of social media campaigns. Beside them, a slim silver laptop shows a complex content calendar, while a holographic-style projection of a stylised brain and network nodes appears above a discreet device, symbolising AI strategy. Evening golden-hour light streams through tall industrial windows, casting long, refined shadows across the textured wood. Shot from a slightly elevated angle, with sharp focus across the table and a softly blurred background of exposed brick and subtle hints of the city skyline. The atmosphere is polished, creative and strategic, embodying a boutique marketing agency planning bespoke campaigns.
A sleek glass-topped workstation overlooking the Newcastle Quayside, the Tyne Bridge and Sage building softened in the distance through a large window. On the desk, an open high-resolution laptop displays an abstract dashboard of colourful marketing analytics and AI-generated campaign concepts, next to a matte-black tablet showing a glowing neural network interface. Cool, diffused afternoon light reflects subtly off brushed metal and glass surfaces, creating crisp, professional highlights. Composition is eye-level with a slight angle, using shallow depth of field to keep the focus on the digital tools while the cityscape blurs into elegant bokeh. The mood is sophisticated and forward-thinking, emphasising AI-driven marketing in a real Newcastle setting, captured in clean photographic realism.

What We Do

Ombre Digital helps local businesses get found – by customers searching on Google, and increasingly, by AI tools like ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

We handle the technical side of SEO so you don’t have to: fixing what’s holding your website back, getting your business showing up for the right local searches, and making sure your Google Business Profile is working as hard as it should be.

Then we go a step further. As more people turn to AI for recommendations, we make sure your business shows up there too, putting you ahead of competitors who are still only thinking about Google.

In short: more visibility, more local customers, and a business that’s ready for how search is changing, not just how it used to work.

The Start

Ombre Digital was founded by Josh Healy, an SEO specialist with hands-on experience managing technical SEO, content strategy, and analytics across multiple websites in the further education sector. During a 14-month industry placement, he took ownership of SEO performance for three separate sites, handling everything from technical audits and keyword strategy to reporting and analytics setup.

Alongside his practical industry experience, Josh studied Networks and Cybersecurity at Northumbria University, giving him a deeper technical understanding of how websites actually work under the hood, a perspective that shapes how he approaches SEO today.

As search began shifting beyond traditional Google rankings, Josh saw an opportunity that most agencies were missing: AI-driven search. Determined to stay ahead of the curve, he built his own AEO (AI Engine Optimisation) audit tool from scratch, to assess how businesses appear not just on Google, but within AI-powered search results like ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

That blend of technical know-how, hands-on SEO experience, and a genuine curiosity about where search is heading led to the founding of Ombré Digital, an agency built to help local businesses get found, both on Google and in the new era of AI-driven search.
