Marketing and business growth consultancy

Marketing that gets your business found, trusted and chosen.

Spotted Studio audits your online presence, builds the plan and runs the marketing and Google work that brings local customers to your business.

The first step is a Growth Audit, R3000. Local Google Visibility is R1550 per month.

01The problem

The problem we solve

Most local businesses already have a website, a Google listing and some social media. They still cannot tell what is working, and customers who search for their service find a competitor first.

We find the gaps, fix them in order of impact and report on the result every month.

03The four step method

How it works

Every engagement follows the same diagnosis: who the business is, who it serves, what it sells, what makes it different, how customers find it and what stops them from enquiring. Marketing is then used to fix those gaps.

  1. Audit

    We review your website, Google profile, social media, competitors and search rankings.

  2. Plan

    We set priorities and measurable targets for the months ahead.

  3. Execution

    We create and publish content, run campaigns and optimise your Google profile.

  4. Reporting

    You get a monthly report on results, what caused them and what we do next.

Why Spotted Studio

Spotted Studio is a boutique marketing and business growth consultancy founded by Natalie Jackson. You deal with Natalie directly, not with a large agency, and the same consultant who writes your plan runs it.

Audit first

08Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are you a social media agency?

No. Social media is one channel we manage as part of a wider marketing plan. We also audit your online presence, run campaigns, blogs and email marketing, and improve your Google visibility.

Do I have to start with an audit?

Most clients start with a Growth Audit because it shows where the business stands and what to fix first, and the plan is then built on your own data. Each service can also be bought on its own.

How much does it cost?

The Growth Audit is R3000. Local Google Visibility is R1550 per month. The Marketing Partnership is scoped after your audit. A Website Build is priced on request.

How will I know it is working?

You receive a monthly report that shows results, what caused them and what we do next.

Will I rank first on Google?

No one can guarantee a ranking. We report honestly on what moves and why.

Where do you work?

Spotted Studio is based in South Africa. We work with local businesses in South Africa and, remotely, with businesses across the United States.
