Versus hiring
The median salary for a full-time marketing manager in the Saginaw metro is about $131,000 a year, before benefits, software, and the months it takes a new person to learn your business. Starter runs $35,988 a year, includes the tools, and starts with someone who has already done the job inside a Michigan manufacturer.

The plans
Starter is the part-time in-house role for most owner-led businesses. Growth adds hours for companies with several brands, service lines, or locations. The Growth Audit is for owners who want a plan before they commit.
For businesses that need a credible, findable website first. A fast site written around what you sell and what customers ask, with structured data so Google and AI assistants can read it, and a clear path to a call, quote, or form. Price scales with pages and complexity, and you get a fixed quote before work starts.
How the $999 website worksFor websites that need to stay fast, secure, and current. Hosting, maintenance, updates, and a quarterly strategy check-in, priced by the size of your site.
For companies running several brands or a major site migration. Scoped after a Growth Audit or discovery call.
Why 12 months
Because the work compounds, and the Vantage numbers show how. The meaningful climb in RFQs showed up between months 3 and 6 and kept building for the rest of the 24-month window. A 12-month term gives search visibility, content, and social presence time to pay off. If you want a smaller first step, start with the website or the Growth Audit.
Outside the plans
Paid ad management, radio and print buying, and team AI training aren't included. AI training is available separately through Understanding Your AI. Any work outside a plan's scope is quoted and approved in writing before it starts, so nothing shows up on an invoice by surprise.
For anything specific to your business, book a discovery call.
Yes. Starter and Growth each include one website build or refresh as part of the 12-month partnership.
Yes. Socoz Design serves owner-led businesses across Michigan. Kickoffs run as a working session with a live walkthrough of the operation, monthly reviews happen by video, and the work is delivered the same way wherever the business is.
With a simple phone-photo routine your team runs between jobs. Tim shows you exactly what to capture: the setup, the process, and the finished result. That becomes the raw material for pages and posts, and it's why your content looks like your business instead of stock photography.
Yes. Many Socoz Design relationships start with a $999 website. If you move to Starter or Growth, the site becomes the foundation for the monthly work.
Yes. The $1,499 audit fee credits toward a Starter or Growth plan.
Socoz CMS, the platform behind every Socoz Design website. It works differently from WordPress: there's no theme and plugin stack to license, patch, and troubleshoot, and every page is built so Google and AI assistants can read it. Hosting and upkeep are covered by the Care Plan or the monthly role.
