Stage 9
Brand, Website & Marketing Foundation
Domain, logo, a real website, and the basic profiles that make you findable.
The basics, in order
Domain name — register the .com if it's available and reasonably priced; a close alternative is fine if not.
A real website — even a simple one beats no website. At minimum: what you do, who it's for, how to contact/buy, and enough credibility signals (photos, testimonials, clear pricing where appropriate) that a stranger trusts you enough to act.
Google Business Profile — free, and directly affects whether you show up in local search and Google Maps. Set this up even if you're not primarily a local/storefront business.
The social profiles that actually matter for your specific audience — not all of them. Pick where your actual customers spend time rather than maintaining five platforms half-heartedly.
If you want help with this part
This is squarely what a digital agency does day to day. If you'd rather have this built professionally than DIY it, that's a direct conversation, not an affiliate referral — ask and we'll connect you.
