Small businesses$650/mo

Small business marketing that brings customers, not vanity reports

SEO or Google Ads from $650 a month. Both for $1,300. A 6-month contract includes a website redesign. Built for owners who need the phone to ring.

Why this matters

Why small businesses lose jobs they already earned

Most small businesses have a site, a Facebook page, and a hope that referrals cover the slow months. That is not a marketing system. That is waiting.

A competitor with a worse product still wins the Google search. You keep paying for tools you do not use. The calendar has gaps you cannot explain. Owners who wait on word of mouth watch quieter shops take the work.

I run small business marketing as SEO, Google Ads, or both. $650 a month each. $1,300 together. Six months includes a site built around how people already search for you. If you are a trade, use the industry page that matches. If you are everyone else, this is the page.

Buyers type searches like "small business marketing" and "marketing for small business". That is where the work starts. Not a national template with small business pasted in.

What you get

What small businesses actually get

SEO or Google Ads from $650 a month. Both for $1,300. Free website redesign with 6 months.

1

A plan that fits a small team

No 40-page decks. Keyword work, pages, and campaigns aimed at customers you can actually serve.

Calls and forms measured. Budget on intent, not broad match hope.

A site that asks for the sale

Clear offer, fast load, form that works on a phone. Included free with a 6-month contract.

Direct access to me

About 10 clients at a time. No junior handoff. No outsourced account team.

6

The same price in every town

$650 for SEO or Ads. No small-business surcharge and no big-agency minimum.

How it works

Three steps. Then we get to work.

  1. 01

    Tell me what is broken

    A short call or the form on this page. I look at how local customers actually search for you.

  2. 02

    Pick SEO, Ads, or both

    $650 a month each. $1,300 for both. A 6-month contract includes a website redesign built around search.

  3. 03

    You work with me

    I write the strategy, ship the work, and keep optimizing. No account manager shuffle.

Great fit

This is for you if…

  • You own a small business and need customers from search
  • You want one person on strategy, site, and campaigns
  • You can handle more leads if they start coming in
  • You will answer the phone and the form
Not a fit

Skip this if…

  • You need a 20-person brand team
  • You want cheap rankings guarantees
  • You run an MLM
  • You will not pick what you actually sell

    “Working with Gary at Up The Brand has been an excellent experience. His clear explanation of my website’s traffic challenges, and the opportunities to improve, has been incredibly valuable. The updates he’s already implemented have made my site far more engaging, and I’m excited to see the continued progress as we move forward. This is a skill set I don’t possess, and having an expert like Gary guiding the process has made all the difference. I highly recommend his services.”
