An agency sells you an account manager, who briefs a designer, who briefs an editor, and you pay for every handoff. Here the person you talk to is the person doing the work: your website, your Google listing and your content, run as one thing, with every price in the open.
For a local business, marketing mostly means being found when someone nearby searches, looking worth calling once they do, and posting often enough that people remember you. In practice that is a Google profile, a website and regular content, and I build and run all three.
One setup fee, one monthly, both written down before we speak:
Week one, your Google profile is claimed, corrected and live, so calls can start before the site exists. Week two, the site takes shape and you review it once, as a single list of changes. Week three, it launches on your own domain and is submitted to Google. Every month after that, content goes out, the profile stays current, and a report shows what came in and where it came from.
A 30-minute call to start, a folder of your photos, and one list of changes when you see the site. From then on you can check each post before it goes out, or leave it to me.
If what you need is a large paid ads budget managed every day, a PR campaign, or a team of ten on your account, hire an agency. This is for a business that wants to be found, look right when it is, and stay visible, without paying for the layers in between.

Here it is quoted per project, from $1,200, to set up your website, Google Business Profile and a logo animation, with hosting, edits and monthly content quoted alongside. You can also buy the pieces on their own: $250 for the Google profile, $850 for the website, or content from $199 a month.
I do. The person on the call is the person who designs the site, sets up the profile, edits the content and writes the report. Nothing gets lost in a handoff, and you are never passed down to someone more junior.
No. I build what keeps bringing customers in after an ad budget runs out: your Google listing, a site that turns visits into enquiries, and regular content. If a large ad budget is the plan, an agency built for that is the better buy.
The same 90-day guarantee as the website. We count your calls, messages and walk-ins from the 90 days before launch, and if the 90 days after do not beat it, months four to six are free while I keep working.
Yes. The Google profile alone is $250 and is set up within one day or you do not pay. Or start free: a recorded brand teardown, your first reel edited, or a finished website template, none of which needs a card.
