What we do

Your whole online presence, under one calm roof.

One team for the pieces of your online presence that need regular attention. What we do for you, and how much of it, is set out in your service agreement.

Social media management & organic content

Written posts and basic static graphics, published to your social profiles on a regular schedule so your business looks active and sounds like you.

Customer engagement

Professional replies to customer reviews and social media comments, so questions get answered and good experiences get acknowledged.

Website development & maintenance

Routine content updates to keep your site accurate — hours, menus, promotions, photos — plus new website builds and larger changes, quoted separately.

Search engine optimization

Ongoing on-page and local SEO work, within an agreed scope, to help your business show up when nearby customers search for what you offer.

Google Business Profile management

Maintenance of your Google Business Profile — accurate details, regular posts, review replies and basic listing accuracy checks.

Paid advertising management

Google Ads and Meta Ads campaign management — targeting, optimization, standard ad copy and creative, and reporting from the advertising platforms' own records. Charged at 15% of actual ad spend.

How it works

Simple to start. Steady from there.

  1. 1

    A short conversation

    Tell us about your business and where you stand online today. We'll recommend a package and put the scope in a simple written agreement.

  2. 2

    We set the foundation

    Your Google Business Profile, social profiles and website brought up to date — accurate and consistent — within the agreed scope.

  3. 3

    We do the month's work

    Posts, review and comment replies, website updates and SEO work are done each month, up to your package allowances.

  4. 4

    You're invoiced afterwards

    Each month's work is invoiced the following month through Mercury. You pay each invoice yourself — we never charge your card or bank automatically.

Monthly packages

Honest prices. Billed after service.

All prices are in US dollars (USD). Each package lists its total monthly allowances — "up to" is a maximum, and unused items don't carry over. Add paid advertising management whenever you're ready to run ads.

Paid Advertising Management

Google Ads and Meta Ads campaign management — targeting, optimization, standard advertising copy and creative development, and performance reporting. Charged at 15% of actual advertising spend. Advertising spend itself is separate: it's what the platforms charge to run your campaigns, requires your authorization, and is payable as incurred.

Example: $2,000 of actual media spend in a month → $300 management fee. With the $600 package, agency fees total $900 for that month, separate from the $2,000 media spend, before applicable taxes and any permitted payment charges.

15%of actual monthly ad spend

Ask about ad management

Billed after service. No automatic payments.

Monthly work is invoiced the following month through Mercury. Cancel before the next calendar month begins to stop that month's services; completed work and authorized costs remain payable. Billing terms · Cancellation

What's included, what's quoted separately

Basic written and static graphic content is included in the posting allowances. Complex website development, professional photography, video production and third-party costs are quoted separately. Exact scope is set by your service agreement.

What stays when I leave?

Your delivered website code and embedded content stay with you. Our ongoing hosting, automations and managed services require a separate arrangement to continue. Handover terms
