E.
SEO
Local search, on-page fixes, and earned links from sources your buyers actually read.

Why the price is right
Two routes most Main-Street businesses get steered into.
Cobblemark replaces both of them with one accountable partner who treats your marketing budget like their own.
Option A
The Floor
Big-agency retainer
- — Floor price $15,000 a month, often before the first deliverable
- — Junior account manager handed your brief on week three
- — Markups buried in line items you can’t audit
- — Vague monthly reports heavy on impressions
Option B
Roulette
Freelancer roulette
- — You become the project manager between three contractors
- — Nothing repeats — month five starts from scratch
- — SEO, ads, and email rarely speak to each other
- — Quality lands when the freelancer is between clients
Option C
Cobblemark
One accountable partner
- — Senior practitioner on day one, on the work, not on sales calls
- — Right-sized monthly package, no floor and no markup
- — Full ad-spend transparency, line by line
- — Dashboards that report leads, booked jobs, and dollars
Section 01
Four channels, one bundle, one budget.
No “a la carte” theater. Every engagement ships all four, because the channels reinforce each other — a paid click that lands on a respected brand ranks faster, and a lifecycle email closes a customer who already saw your social proof.

Section 02
How an engagement opens.
Every client goes through the same four phases. The first one is the only one that isn’t billable, and it ends in a written brief whether we’re the right shop or not.
- 01/Scoping
A tight scoping session
One 60-minute call to map your offer, the buyers you actually want, and the seasonality of your business. We leave with a written brief you can shelve or take elsewhere.
- 02/Planning
A 90-day plan anchored to revenue
Not leads-as-vanity-metric. Booked jobs, form fills, foot traffic, dollars in the till — whichever your business actually measures against. Reviewed every 30 days against real numbers.
- 03/Playbooks
Repeatable playbooks for your niche
We pick two or three niches and build the same playbook fifteen times — so month three is sharper and cheaper than month one. The first client in your vertical gets the best version of you.
- 04/Steady state
Predictable monthly deliverables
A standing set of inputs lands in your inbox on the same day every month. No chasing. No "we’ll get back to you with next steps." The senior practitioner is on the work, not selling the next retainer.
Section 03
Specialists, not generalists.
We don’t chase every vertical. The team picks two or three niches and builds the same playbook fifteen times — so month three gets sharper and less expensive, and the first client in your vertical gets the best version of us.

Why the price is right.
No proprietary tooling, no ‘platform license,’ no enterprise CRM billed to your project. The stack is the same one a sharp in-house marketer would pick — and it holds launch overhead under one thousand dollars.
