JOE IPPOLITO
The Search Engineer
With 21 years of digital marketing experience, Joe has been a force in the industry since the year Google was founded. Under his leadership, River Horse has been named “Best in Search” ten times by TOPSEOs. His expertise spans the full spectrum of Search Engineering, from technical SEO and Google Map Optimization to high-level SEM strategy.
The Civic Leader
Deeply committed to the Low Country, Joe’s influence extends far beyond the screen. He is a past President of Buy Local Savannah, a former member of the SEDA Advisory Council, and has served multiple terms on the Savannah Area Chamber Board of Directors. His leadership across multiple Chambers of Commerce ensures River Horse remains at the heart of regional business growth.
The Artist’s Edge
Joe’s unique perspective is rooted in a professional music career that spans Nashville, Los Angeles, and Savannah. A graduate of the University of Alabama and the Grove School of Music, he is a former Geffen Records recording artist. Whether he is in the pocket as a drummer for Junkyard Angel or supporting the Coastal Jazz Association and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Joe brings the same rhythm, focus, and technical precision to every digital campaign he engineers.
DEEP ROOTS. MEASURABLE IMPACT.
THE PHILOSOPHY:
Strategic Directness
No Gatekeepers. No Guesswork.
After two decades in the search industry, Joe Ippolito founded River Horse on a single principle: Expertise shouldn't be diluted. In the traditional agency model, your strategy is often filtered through layers of account managers and junior technicians. We’ve eliminated the middleman.
When you partner with us, you are collaborating directly with a veteran search engineer. This direct-access model allows us to bypass the common learning curves of generalist agencies—moving faster, identifying technical vulnerabilities sooner, and focusing exclusively on the metrics that drive your bottom line.
