Online Digital Marketing

Digital marketing doesn't have to mean a big agency, a bloated retainer, and a bundle of services you're not sure you need. We help small businesses show up where their customers are looking.

Most small businesses don't need a full-service marketing agency. They need to show up on Google when someone searches for what they do. They need their Facebook page to look active and professional. They need their business information to be accurate in the databases where people are already looking for it. We do it all, but we start with whatever will make the biggest difference for you, not what makes us the most money.

What we help with

What we do.

Digital marketing is a big tent. Here's what's inside ours:

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

When someone in your area searches for what you offer, you want to show up. Local search optimization is often the highest-return marketing activity a small business can do online — and it starts with your Google Business Profile.

We help you claim, verify, and fully build out your profile so your business appears in Google Search and Google Maps with accurate hours, photos, contact info, and reviews — then work on broader local SEO so your whole web presence tells Google exactly who and where you are.

Online directory listings

Your business information lives in dozens of places online — Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, TripAdvisor, Bing, Facebook, and more. When those listings are inconsistent, incomplete, or just wrong, it hurts your search rankings and frustrates customers who can't find your hours or phone number.

We audit your existing listings, correct what's wrong, and make sure you're listed accurately and completely in the directories that matter for your business and your industry.

Social media management

A social media presence that goes dark for months does more harm than good. We help small businesses show up on Facebook and Instagram consistently — whether that means we write and post on your behalf, help you build a strategy you can run yourself, or something in between.

We tailor our involvement to what you actually need. Some clients want us to handle everything; others want a plan and a little coaching. We'll figure out together which approach fits your team, your time, and your budget.

Facebook & Instagram advertising

Organic reach on social media is limited. Paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram lets you put your business in front of a specific, targeted audience — by location, demographics, and interests — with a budget you control.

We set up and manage Meta ad campaigns for clients who want to drive traffic, promote an event, or reach new customers nearby. We'll tell you honestly what a realistic budget looks like, what to expect from it, and whether it makes sense for what you're trying to do.

You don't need all of this.

Most small businesses don't need every service on this page — at least not all at once. Before we recommend anything, we want to understand your business. Sometimes the answer is a fully optimized Google Business Profile and nothing else. Sometimes it's a modest Facebook ad campaign targeting your zip code. Sometimes it's more involved.

We're not going to sell you a package. We're going to tell you what will actually move the needle.

Transparent pricing

What it costs.

Digital marketing pricing is more individual than other services we offer — because the right scope looks different from one business to the next. We price our marketing work to fit the project:

Hourly — for clients with a specific task or question, or who want occasional help without an ongoing commitment
Monthly retainer — for clients who want consistent, ongoing support with a predictable cost
Project-based — for defined scopes like a directory audit, a campaign setup, or a profile buildout

We'll tell you which structure makes sense after we understand what you need — and we'll give you a clear number before any work begins.

Discounted rates are available for nonprofit organizations and small, rural businesses. See our nonprofit and rural business pages for details.

How it works

How to get started.

Tell us about your business

A quick call is enough. Tell us what you do, where you're located, and who your customers are. We'll ask a few questions and give you an honest read on where your biggest opportunities are.

We agree on a scope

We'll tell you what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what it'll cost — before we start. No surprises, no scope creep without a conversation.

We get to work

Whether we're setting up your Google Business Profile, cleaning up your listings across the web, running your social accounts, or managing an ad campaign, we handle the details and keep you in the loop.

You see the difference

We measure what matters — how you're ranking, how your listings look, how your ads are performing — and we report back in plain English.

Let's talk

Not sure what you actually need? That's exactly what we're here for.

Let's have a conversation. We'll take a look at where you stand online, tell you what we'd recommend, and give you a realistic sense of what it would cost — before you commit to anything.
