[ Meet Hayley Rasmussen ]

Founder & Digital Marketing Specialist

Digital marketing should not feel like you are drifting at sea. After two decades of working across diverse industries, I have learned that the most successful businesses are the ones that stay anchored in clear messaging while moving with the currents of the modern market.

I am the daughter of a Central Coast roof tiler, and I grew up watching what it takes to build something with your own hands, and what it means to slow the car down outside a house and say, "I did that." That is why the work I love most is with small business owners. I recognise the same determination, I know what your budget took to earn, and Saltline Studio is a small business too. The full story is in what a roof tiler taught me about marketing.

From that childhood on the Central Coast, to years living and working in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, and now calling the Mid North Coast home, coastal life has always shaped how I work. I founded Saltline Studio on a simple truth: you do not need a massive paid ad budget to win. Smart layout, sharp copy, and foundational SEO will outlast a trendy ad campaign every single time, and that focus on sustainable organic growth is how I help you build lasting digital momentum without the corporate fluff.

Everything Saltline does is designed to turn your online presence into your most hardworking asset. Whether I am creating a new website with foundational SEO, growing your business through ongoing organic content, SEO, and AEO optimisation, running The Found Report to show you exactly where you stand across your website, your Google presence and the AI assistants, or reading your website page by page with The Full Picture, my whole focus is making your business straightforward for your ideal clients to choose.

When you hire Saltline, you get me. That's the point.

[ Why "Saltline" ]

The Meaning
Behind the Name

When the ocean draws back from the shore, it leaves a line of salt and foam on the sand, a signature marking exactly where the sea met the land. That line is the saltline. It is the coastline itself, the thread that connects everywhere I have ever called home, and it is redrawn fresh with every tide.

There is a second meaning I love just as much. Drawing a line in the sand is the moment you decide things change here. No more being invisible to the customers already searching for you. No more renting visibility through ads that stop the day you stop paying. Every project I take on starts with a business owner drawing that line, and my job is to make sure everything built beyond it lasts.

The saltline is where the ocean leaves its mark.
Your website is where you leave yours.

[ Where I work ]

Based in Port Macquarie,
Working the Whole Coastline

Saltline Studio works from Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast, and the coastline is the thread that runs through my client list. I grew up on the Central Coast, spent years living and working in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, and today my clients range from businesses here in Port Macquarie to a cleaning company serving Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland Shire, and an events company looking after corporate clients across Sydney and nationwide.

Everything is handled online, so where you are never changes what you get: the same one-on-one process, the same build quality, and the same published prices, whether you are just down the road or interstate. Local knowledge helps where I have it, and everywhere else the strategy starts the same way, with your area, your competitors, and how your customers actually search.

I have been working with Hayley on various ad-hoc projects over the last few years. She has always been reliable, easy to work with, and delivers great results. More recently, Hayley sent through her Found Report, and I was genuinely impressed. It was incredibly easy to understand, with clear, factual results! I knew exactly what needed attention and what the next steps were. … The report gave me the confidence to plan our marketing budget for the next financial year, helping me decide where our marketing spend would have the biggest impact. I would absolutely recommend the Found Report to any business.

Before working with Hayley at Saltline Studio, my business didn't have a website and we were completely invisible online. Hayley changed everything. She built us a professional custom site and set up a local search strategy so clients across the Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland Shire could actually find us. Since launching, we are booking in new leads directly from the website. If you are on the fence about investing in her website design and search package, just do it. It has been a total game changer for my business.
