Small Business Marketing Support
Small Business Marketing Consultant — Websites, Local SEO, and Lead Generation That Actually Fits Your Budget
Running a small business already takes everything you've got — and marketing is usually the first thing that gets pushed aside. I provide practical small business marketing support including website design, local SEO, email marketing, and lead generation. With 20+ years of experience, I help small business owners build a visible, consistent marketing presence without agency costs or complexity.
The Challenge Most Small Businesses Face
Most small businesses know that marketing matters. The challenge is finding the time, direction, and consistency to make it work.
When your website is outdated, your business isn’t showing up in search, or social media becomes an afterthought, it gets harder for customers to find and choose you. Simple, consistent marketing fixes that.
How Your Marketing Gets Back on Track
Websites That Clearly Represent Your Business
Your website should make it easy for customers to understand what you do and how to reach you. Clean, modern sites are built to load quickly, look great on mobile, and convert visitors into real inquiries.
- Website design and development
- Mobile-friendly optimization
- Copywriting and messaging support
- Built to generate inquiries, not just look nice
Local SEO That Helps Customers Find You
If your business isn’t showing up in local search or Google Maps, potential customers may never know you exist. Local search optimization helps you get discovered and stay visible.
- Google Business Profile setup and optimization
- Local SEO improvements
- On-page website SEO updates
- Directory listings and reputation support
Social Media Without the Stress
You don’t need to post constantly — you just need a simple, consistent presence. Social support helps you stay visible and relevant without taking over your schedule.
- Social media strategy for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn
- Content planning and light creation
- Scheduling tools and workflow setup
- Optional paid social to expand reach
Simple Systems That Capture Leads
Marketing works best when it runs consistently in the background. Simple systems can help capture and follow up with leads so opportunities don’t slip through the cracks.
- Contact forms and landing pages
- Email newsletter setup
- Basic CRM/contact organization
- Simple reporting so you know what’s working

A Few Common Questions
What does a small business marketing consultant do?
A small business marketing consultant helps you build and execute a marketing plan — covering your website, local SEO, email marketing, and social media — so you can attract more customers without spending all your time on it.
How much does small business marketing support cost?
I offer flexible pricing — from one-time projects like a website build or Google profile setup, to ongoing monthly support. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your goals and budget.
Do I need to already have a website or social media presence?
No. I work with businesses at every stage — whether you're starting from scratch or cleaning up what already exists.
Is this different from hiring a marketing agency?
Yes. You work directly with me — not an account manager passing work to a junior team. That means faster communication, lower cost, and a plan that actually fits your business.
Do you work with businesses outside of Michigan?
Yes. Mitten Curve Marketing works with small businesses across the United States. All services can be delivered remotely.
