Purpose Built Marketing for Local Small Businesses

Accelerate Your Growth With

Connected Local Marketing Solutions

Serving the Twin Cities East Metro and St. Croix Valley, we combine website design, digital advertising, SEO, AI and CRM integration into one connected marketing system built specifically for local small businesses.

Disconnected Marketing Is Costing You Growth.

Most local small business owners are either juggling too many disconnected platforms or trying to grow without the right systems in place at all.

Your website, advertising, SEO, and follow up processes are not connected. In many cases, there is no structured CRM system managing leads or tracking performance.

Leads slip through the cracks. Opportunities go untracked. Marketing feels reactive instead of intentional.

The result is missed opportunities and unpredictable growth.

  • Disconnected software and tools

  • Inconsistent lead flow & unclear ROI

  • Wasted ad spend and campaign performance

  • Manual follow up processes that eats your time

  • No clear visibility into performance

  • Outdated website that doesn't drive new business

Our Why Factor

We believe small businesses are the heartbeat of our community.

We are a small business just like the businesses we support. We live here, work here, raise our families here, and care deeply about the success of the East Metro and St. Croix Valley.

When we partner with you, we do not just complete tasks. We lead the marketing direction of your business and stay with you to implement it.

Your success builds a stronger local community. We take that personally.

FAQ's

1. What types of businesses do you work with?

We work primarily with local service based small and mid sized businesses in the Twin Cities East Metro and St. Croix Valley. Our strategies are built specifically for businesses that rely on consistent local lead generation and long term customer relationships.

2. What makes your approach different from larger marketing agencies?

Most large agencies deploy broad strategies built for scale. We design connected marketing systems specifically for local small businesses. Every website, ad campaign, SEO plan, and CRM integration is structured around your market, your goals, and your budget.

3. Do I need a CRM system to work with you?

No. Many of our clients do not have a CRM when we start. We help you implement the right system so leads are captured, organized, and followed up with consistently. A CRM is often the missing link between marketing and revenue.

4. What does a connected marketing system mean?

It means your website, digital advertising, SEO, and CRM work together instead of operating separately. Leads are tracked. Follow up is structured. Performance is measurable. Nothing is disconnected.

5. Can you build my website and manage my marketing?

Yes. We design high performing websites and manage ongoing services such as digital advertising, SEO, CRM integration, and marketing optimization. Everything is built to function as one cohesive system.

6. Do you offer ongoing services or just one time projects?

Both. Some clients need a foundational website build. Others partner with us for ongoing advertising management, SEO, and system optimization. We structure services based on your goals and growth plan.

7. How long does it take to see results?

Website builds typically take several weeks depending on scope. Paid advertising can generate leads quickly once launched. SEO is a longer term strategy that builds momentum over time. We set clear expectations from the beginning.

8. How do you measure performance?

Every system we implement includes tracking and reporting. We monitor lead flow, cost per lead, conversion rates, and overall growth trends so decisions are based on data, not guesswork.

9. Do you only work in Minnesota and Wisconsin?

Our focus is the Twin Cities East Metro and St. Croix Valley because we believe in strengthening our local business community. However, we may work with select service based businesses outside the area if the fit is strong.

10. What is the first step to getting started?

The first step is to book a discovery call. We evaluate your current website, marketing efforts, and systems, then outline a clear path to building a connected marketing system designed for growth.
