Start marketing before you open the doors.

$1,495 once, then whichever ongoing plan you pick, starting at $499 a month on a three-month minimum. On the entry plan that's about $2,992 for your first three months, and it covers everything on this page — the website build, hosting and maintenance, the opening day shoot, quarterly shoots after that, your MLB listing, and the ad budget behind your videos. After month three you're month to month and free to change tiers.

We do, and it's inside your monthly plan at every tier. Hosting, SSL, maintenance, updates, automatic backups and support from our team in Towson. The build itself is covered by your $1,495 launch fee, so there's no separate website setup charge on top.

No. Delayed openings are normal and we plan around them. We track your date and adjust as it shifts, and your monthly billing doesn't begin until your first campaign actually goes live — so a two-month delay doesn't mean two months of paying for ads nobody sees.

Often yes, but tell us on the call and we'll be straight with you about it. Most new owners have two or three pieces finished and five missing — usually the professional photos, the video, and any actual advertising plan. If you've genuinely got everything, we'll point you at a standard MLB plan instead of this one.

We publish through Maryland Local Businesses and tag you in an Instagram Collab, which puts each video in front of our 50,000+ Maryland followers as well as yours. For a business that's just opened with a handful of followers, that's the point — you're borrowing an audience while you build your own. You also get the finished files to use anywhere you want, and if you'd rather we post to and manage your own accounts, we offer that as a step up.

Enough to get each one moving, and it's already inside your monthly plan — no separate ad invoice. Higher plans carry more budget because they produce more video. If you want extra reach in a busy month you can add budget any time, and we'll show you what it produced. Plenty of members do this seasonally and drop back afterward.

Yes. Shoots are included within 30 miles of Towson. Beyond that we add a travel fee per shoot, which we'll quote you before you sign so there are no surprises. You get exactly the same shoot and the same number of videos either way.

This is the part most launch campaigns get wrong — they run opening day footage until everyone's sick of it. We come back out every quarter to shoot new material, so the campaign moves into new products, customer testimonials, promotions and seasonal offers with fresh footage rather than recycled clips. Anything you capture on your own phone we'll happily work in too.

The content is produced for your business and the finished files are yours. We also reserve the right to use applicable footage in our own promotional material, and anyone featured prominently in an advertisement signs a release before it runs.

They're different things. The Restaurant Spotlight is our free listing program: you shoot one short clip a month on your phone and send it over, and we caption it and post it as a Collab to your account and our 50K feed, list your specials on the Maryland Specials feed, and send you a member decal for your door. Nothing is built or filmed for you, and the listing stays live only as long as the monthly clips keep coming. Business Launch is the paid program where our team does the work — branding, website, profiles, a full photo and video shoot on opening day, and ongoing video with ad budget behind it. Restaurants can absolutely do Business Launch; the opening day shoot and everything else on this page is part of the paid program, not the free Spotlight.

Start on Local Content unless you already know you want more. A business that just opened has a finite amount to say in its first quarter, and it's easier to step up once you've seen what the opening footage actually did than to commit to eight videos a month before you've served your first hundred customers. You can move tiers after month three.

Thirty to ninety days before you open. Branding and website work takes weeks, and the whole point of this program is that everything is already live when the doors open rather than scrambled together the week after.
