The marketing essentials your small business needs to stay online, visible, and current.

Small Business Essentials is intended primarily for local small businesses, startups, and solopreneurs. Small professional practices and other businesses may qualify after an individual review. We consider your actual needs, complexity, and fit with the plan’s standardized scope. Government small-business classifications don’t automatically determine eligibility. Larger or more specialized businesses are generally better served by another CVDMG service.

Check your eligibility

There’s no setup fee. When needed, we include the first year of registration for one standard-priced new domain. You own it and pay renewal costs from year two, which we’ll disclose ahead of time. Premium, aftermarket, unusually priced domains and renewals of existing domains aren’t automatically included. If you need work or third-party products outside the plan, we’ll explain the cost before anything moves forward.

The plan is $199 per month with no setup fee. Your invoice is issued at the start of your own monthly billing cycle and is due within seven calendar days, or Net 7. You don’t have to start on the first of the month.

We prefer Zelle at zelle@cvdmg.com. Your bank may support recurring payments. We’ll work with you on a convenient payment method that avoids unnecessary processing costs when practical. If another method would result in a customer-facing service fee, we’ll disclose it and get your approval first, subject to applicable payment rules and law.

The 60-day initial commitment gives us time to establish your service relationship and onboarding foundation. It isn’t a required website production timeline: we start website work as promptly as your information, access, and approvals allow. After 60 days, service continues month-to-month.

After the first 60 days, you can submit clear written cancellation notice at any time. Email counts. At least 14 calendar days’ notice is required. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the first paid monthly billing cycle that meets the notice period. We’ll confirm the effective date. There’s no formal pause or freeze option. Existing customers’ signed agreements govern their terms.

When needed, we build a professionally customized, mobile-friendly website during onboarding. The site can be one focused page or up to five reasonable core pages, hosted and maintained in our supported environment. Website creation is an initial deliverable, not a new build every month.

New pages, major redesigns, ecommerce, custom development, and new functionality are separate work.

Possibly. We’ll review what you already have first. If the website is well-built, stable, and something we can confidently support, we’ll reuse what makes sense and improve it. If it’s outdated, poorly built, unstable, or would take more work to untangle than rebuild, we’ll tell you that and recommend starting fresh. We won’t take over a website we can’t confidently stand behind.

Each month, we'll make one focused batch of content updates to your existing website, such as refreshing photos, updating business hours, changing pricing, or improving service descriptions. The quarterly revision allows a broader update to an existing page or section. The annual polish is a coordinated review of the existing site’s content and presentation.

These services keep the website current within its existing structure. They don’t bank or combine into new pages, a major redesign, or new functionality.

We can help establish or claim the profile, clean up and appropriately optimize it, keep the core business information accurate, review categories and service areas, update hours and assets, and periodically check the profile for issues.

Responding to and managing customer reviews isn’t included in Small Business Essentials. That deeper reputation work is part of the $419/month Get Found: Core plan.

We prepare eight posts total each month for one platform you choose: Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. We recommend Google Business Profile for eligible local businesses because customers use Google Search and Maps to find and research them. The eight posts go to your chosen platform, not to multiple platforms. Baseline profile maintenance remains included whichever platform you choose.

Posts include copy, basic graphics or image treatment, formatting, scheduling, and publishing. You get one reasonable consolidated revision round per monthly batch. We get approval before publishing unless you give standing authorization. You may switch platforms once during the engagement, effective with the next monthly cycle.

You provide and maintain the customer list. We write, design, format, schedule, and send one customer email each quarter. List building, lead generation, and automated email sequences aren’t included.

The plan includes up to five domain-based mailboxes, with 1 GB of storage for each mailbox.

We’ll need timely access to your accounts, accurate business information, available brand assets, and reasonably prompt feedback and approvals. We’ll make the process clear, but we can’t complete or publish work that’s waiting on information or approval from your side.

No. Included services are scheduled for their monthly, quarterly, or annual cycle and don’t bank, stack, or roll over. If access, information, assets, feedback, or approval arrive late, that delay doesn’t create extra work in a later period. We remain responsible for our own work and correcting errors within the agreed scope.

Paid advertising and ad spend, major website expansion or new pages, ecommerce, custom development or software, video production, advanced SEO or strategy, and reputation or community management aren’t included.

If you need something outside the plan, we’ll explain the scope and cost before any additional work begins.

We want you to stay because you're happy with our service, not because you feel stuck. Your domain, approved website content, and client-specific business assets remain yours. When needed, the first year of one standard-priced new domain is included; renewal costs from year two are yours and disclosed beforehand.

When an eligible voluntary cancellation takes effect, your paid subscription and managed services, including updates, publishing, reporting, and domain email, end. We provide 30 additional calendar days of complimentary website hosting only from that effective date, subject to platform and provider availability. We’ll confirm the hosting expiration date and send a reminder before it ends. Hosting ends then unless another arrangement is approved. The grace period doesn’t include updates, managed services, or migration labor.

We'll explain your options for moving your website to another provider. Direct transfers aren’t guaranteed, and some sites may need migration or rebuilding. We can coordinate with your new developer or host. Substantial migration, rebuilding, platform conversion, or coordination is separately billed at our established hourly technical services rate, with scope and price disclosed and approved before work begins. Our proprietary systems, reusable templates, nontransferable licenses, and internal tools remain with us.

Switching a launched website to a different platform is a separately scoped website project, not routine maintenance. We’ll explain the scope and price for your approval first. The change doesn’t automatically cancel or restart your existing SBE subscription or begin another 60-day commitment unless a separate agreement expressly changes it.
