Small Businesses

A useful rule of thumb is 5 to 10 percent of revenue, weighted toward the foundations first: a website that converts, a brand that builds trust, and visibility on Google. We'll tell you honestly where your next dollar does the most good, and every engagement comes with a fixed, itemized proposal so you know exactly what you're buying.

For a brand-new business testing an idea, a DIY site is fine. The math changes once leads matter. A professionally built site loads faster, ranks better on Google, converts more visitors, and belongs entirely to you. And the platform isn't the point; we build on everything from our own AI-accelerated custom framework to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and yes, Squarespace. The difference is a site built with strategy versus one built from a template at midnight.

We hear that a lot, and the fix is structural, not a sales promise. You own everything we build, including your domain, website, and files. Pricing is fixed and in writing before we start. Retainers are month to month, so we re-earn your business constantly. And you work with named senior people, not a rotating cast of account reps.

Yes. Many clients phase the work: start with the project that moves the needle most, often the website, then add branding, social, or a care plan as results come in. Fixed pricing per phase keeps every step predictable, and month-to-month retainers mean you're never locked into more than what's working.

That's most of our small business clients. We function as your marketing department: one point of contact, a clear plan, and a team covering strategy, design, web, and social behind the scenes. You stay as involved as you want to be, and you always know what's happening and why.

If you're in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, or Dayton, absolutely; we're based at 1455 Dalton Ave in Cincinnati and love working face to face. Businesses outside the region get the same senior team, transparent process, and responsiveness through video calls and a shared project workspace.
