What's Included in the Starter Bundle

5-Page Website. Built on modern infrastructure, not a template. Home, About, Services, Contact, and one additional page your business needs: portfolio, menu, pricing, FAQ, or testimonials. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and SEO-ready from launch day. For a Lincoln Park business, this means a site that loads instantly on the phones of customers searching near Armitage or Fullerton and that includes the local signals that connect your business to Lincoln Park-area searches.

Google Business Profile Setup and Optimization. Your Google Business Profile is what appears in Maps when someone searches for what you do near Lincoln Park. We build it completely: accurate business categories, service area configuration for Lincoln Park and adjacent North Side neighborhoods, business hours, photos, and an optimized description that helps Google connect you to relevant local searches. For businesses in Lincoln Park's competitive corridors, a well-built profile is the difference between appearing in the map pack and being invisible to the most intent-ready customers.

Two Social Media Channels Managed. Two platforms chosen for your specific Lincoln Park audience. A boutique fitness studio near DePaul likely wants Instagram and TikTok. A professional services firm operating from a Lincoln Park brownstone probably wants LinkedIn and X. A family-oriented business near the Lincoln Park Zoo wants Facebook and Instagram. We create content, write copy, design graphics, schedule posts, and monitor engagement on both channels every week.

Two SEO Articles Per Month. Original, search-optimized articles targeting the search terms your Lincoln Park customers actually use. A personal trainer publishes content targeting "personal trainer Lincoln Park" and "DePaul area fitness coaching." A boutique on Armitage publishes content targeting "women's boutique Lincoln Park" and "Armitage Avenue shopping." Each article builds search authority that compounds over time and generates organic discovery that does not require paid advertising to sustain.

Monthly Reporting. Clear reporting showing traffic, search visibility, social engagement, and Google Business Profile performance. What changed, what is working, and what we are adjusting. No jargon.

Who the Starter Bundle Serves in Lincoln Park

The Starter Bundle is designed for businesses at the stage where the digital foundation is not yet built, or is built inadequately, and the marketing budget needs to be managed carefully. These are the Lincoln Park businesses we see most often:

New restaurants and cafes opening on Clark, Halsted, or in the neighborhood commercial corridors who need to show up on Google Maps and Instagram before their first customer arrives. Personal trainers and wellness practitioners building a client base near DePaul, the lakefront trail, or the Fullerton corridor. Boutiques opening on Armitage or Webster who need professional digital presence alongside the physical storefront. Therapists and specialty practitioners opening practices near Sheffield or Lincoln Avenue. Dog walkers, tutors, and home service providers serving Lincoln Park's family-oriented residential streets.

Google Business Profile visibility begins within two to three weeks of proper setup.

For a restaurant on Clark or Halsted: Instagram for food content and Google Business Profile for local discovery. We recommend based on your specific business and audience, and you make the final call.

Yes. Everything we build belongs to you. The website, the articles, the social accounts, the Google Business Profile: you own all of it and can take it with you. We do not build on proprietary platforms that create lock-in.

Yes. If your existing website needs improvement rather than replacement, we assess it and recommend either rebuilding as part of the bundle or focusing effort on SEO content, social presence, and Google Business Profile while working with what you have. We take the approach that delivers the most value for your specific starting point.

Paid advertising, email marketing campaigns, video production, e-commerce functionality, and more than two social channels are not included at the $397 price point. We offer packages that build on the Starter Bundle for businesses that need these capabilities. The Starter Bundle is the foundation: everything a new Lincoln Park business needs to get found, look credible, and start building organic visibility.
