Marketing advice for small businesses in Maine.
Not sure whether to fix the website, send more email or spend on advertising? We review what you have, where customers get stuck and what your budget can support. You receive a 90-day plan with specific next steps.
Discuss a projectWhat your project can include

A plan that says what to do and who will do it.
We work within your budget, your team’s time and the commitments you already have. Each recommendation explains why it matters, who will do it, what needs to happen first and how you’ll know if it helped.
When this service helps
- Every marketing option feels important and nothing has a clear owner.
- You’re about to spend on a website, tool or agency and need an independent view.
- You’re doing a lot of marketing but don’t know what to tackle first.
- You need marketing advice but aren’t ready to hire someone full time.
Work out why marketing isn’t turning into inquiries.
We separate the problems: are the right people finding you, can they understand the offer, does the form work, and does someone follow up? Those questions lead to different projects. More traffic won’t fix an inquiry that never reaches your inbox.
We review available search, website and customer records alongside the way your business actually operates. If the tracking is incomplete, the first recommendation may be to repair it before drawing conclusions about spending.
Get a second opinion before committing.
Bring a website proposal, a new software subscription or a list of marketing ideas. We’ll help you compare what’s included, what depends on your team and what it will take to keep the work running.
The plan identifies what to do first, who owns each action and how to judge progress. You can use it with your own team or another provider; hands-on work with Green Falls can be scoped separately.
Questions about marketing consultation
Is consultation only advice?+
It can be a focused plan, ongoing guidance or the start of hands-on work. Recommendations should lead to a clear decision or a real change in the business.
Can you review an agency or provider proposal?+
Yes. We can help explain the work included, assumptions and choices and whether the proposed work matches the actual business need.
Do we need a large marketing budget?+
No, but the business should be ready to act on the recommendations. Clear priorities are especially useful when time and budget are limited.
Should we fix our website or start advertising?+
First check whether the site explains the service, works on a phone and reliably delivers inquiries. Then look at whether enough suitable customers are finding it. If the customer path is broken, fix that before paying to send more people through it.
Can we start with a one-time review?+
Yes. A focused review can help with a specific decision, such as a website rebuild or email program. Ongoing guidance and implementation are separate choices. We agree on the questions, materials and deliverable before starting.
How do you price marketing consultation?+
We scope the review around the decision you need to make, the systems involved and how much research is needed. The proposal states the work, cost and what you’ll receive. You don’t need to commit to a retainer to discuss a focused project.
