Services & pricing

Marketing support built around what your business actually needs.

I work with Maine small businesses to help the right customers find them, feel confident choosing them, and stay connected over time. Before recommending anything, I look at what is already working and where the real gaps are.

What good marketing does

Three things marketing should help your business do.

Get Found

Search, Google Business Profile, and your website

When someone nearby searches for the services you offer, you want your business to be one of the businesses they find. Local SEO, Google Business Profile management, and your website all play a role in making that happen.

Build Trust

Social media, content, and reputation

Getting found is step one. Once someone discovers your business, they will check you out. A consistent, professional social media presence gives potential customers the confidence to reach out.

Stay Top of Mind

Email marketing and customer communication

Your best customers already know you. Email and regular communication keep your business connected with them, bring them back for repeat work, and give them a reason to send referrals your way.

How I approach it

You don't need every marketing service. You need the right ones.

Every business starts from a different place. Some rank well on Google but post on social media only occasionally. Others get steady referrals but are nearly invisible in search. Others have a loyal customer base they rarely stay in touch with.

Before I recommend anything, I look at your website, your Google presence, how your social media is performing, and where customers are already finding you. Then I share what I think will make the most difference, and you decide what to move forward with.

The goal is not more marketing. It is the right marketing for where your business is right now.

Services & pricing

What I can help with.

Not every business needs all of these. Pick what fits what you want to work on. After we talk, I'll send you a package builder that shows what's included in each service and what it costs, along with my recommendations if you want them.

The process

How I work with clients.

01

Review

I learn about your business and look at your website, Google presence, social media, and how customers currently find you.

02

Choose

I send you a package builder with each service, what's included, and pricing, plus my honest take on where you'd get the most value. You pick what you want, if anything.

03

Handle It

I take care of the agreed-upon work so it does not become another task on your plate. You stay focused on running the business.

04

Review + Adjust

We check in on performance regularly and adjust priorities as your business and marketing needs evolve.

Why Good Light

What working with Good Light is actually like.

Small businesses deserve straightforward marketing support: clear deliverables, honest recommendations, and direct access to the person actually doing the work.

Direct access

You work with me directly. I'm the one doing the research, writing the content, and managing your accounts, not passing work down to someone else.

Local focus

I'm based in Maine and work closely with Maine small businesses. I understand the communities, seasonality, and local context that can get lost with a far-away marketing company.

Honest recommendations

If I don't think a service will move the needle for your business, I'll say so. My goal is to give you the right support, not the most support.

Plain-English reporting

You will always know what is happening and why. No confusing dashboards or reports that require a translator.

Month-to-month

No long-term contracts. Monthly services are month-to-month, so you have flexibility as your business and marketing needs change.

Limited availability

I take on a small number of ongoing clients on purpose, so each one gets real attention, not divided focus. If you're interested in working together, it's worth reaching out sooner rather than later.

Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

How do I know which services I need?
You don't need to figure that out yourself, and you're not locked into a set package. After a conversation about your business and goals, I'll send you a package builder that lays out each service, what's included, and the price, along with my recommendations. You pick and choose what makes sense for you.
Can I start with one service and add more later?
Yes. Most clients start with a focused approach and expand when the timing makes sense. There is no minimum commitment and no pressure to bundle services together.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Monthly services are month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel, so you're not locked into a long-term agreement. One-time projects are quoted up front.
How long before things start working?
SEO generally requires consistent work over several months before you start to see meaningful movement in search rankings. How quickly things progress depends on your current visibility, your market, and the competitiveness of your local area. Before you commit to anything, I'll share realistic expectations specific to your business based on what I actually see when I review your current presence.
Will the content sound like my business?
Yes, that is a priority. I start every engagement with a brand review so the content sounds like you, not a generic template. Social media clients will see sample content before anything goes live.
What social media platforms do you manage?
Facebook and Instagram for most clients. LinkedIn and other platforms can be discussed depending on your audience and business goals. They can be added to an existing plan or swapped in.
How will I know what you're doing each month?
You get a clear monthly report in plain language: what I worked on, why it mattered, what changed, and what's next. If something can't be measured yet, I'll tell you rather than pad the report.
Who owns my accounts?
You do. Your website, Google Business Profile, social media accounts, email list, and logins stay in your name. If we ever stop working together, you keep access to everything and nothing has to be rebuilt.
What happens after I reach out?
I'll get back to you within one business day and set up a short call to talk through your business and goals. If it's a good fit, I'll send you a package builder within a few business days, so you can see your options and pick what you want. No pressure and no hard sell.
Kind words

What clients say.

"Couldn't be more happy with Good Light Marketing. We've been customers for almost 10 years... Prompt, attentive, and so professional... they make us look good every day!" Jim Hartley Owner, Pine Tree Seafood & Produce
"I had the pleasure of working with Salena on both the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce Concerts in the Park series and the Scarborough Buy Local initiative, and her impact was outstanding." Amanda Huebner Owner, Amanda Huebner Photography
"I've worked with Salena for about 10 years on social media marketing and other things related to website updates. She's incredibly responsive, takes action, makes sure the project is done right and exactly who you want in your corner. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her in a second (in fact we are still and will forever work together). If you are looking for someone to be a partner in your social realm, Salena is the person to hire." Jesse Fowler Owner, OSC Web Design
"I don't always feel completely natural in front of a camera, but Salena helped me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the shoot. She has a strong ability to make the process feel easy while still keeping the work polished and intentional. What stood out most was her ability to understand the message I wanted to communicate to prospective patients - through the photos, logo work, and video, she helped bring that message to life in a clear and authentic way." Jason Burtchell Owner, Resilience Physical Therapy

Not sure what you need? That's okay.

The first step is a simple conversation about your business: what's already working, where you want to grow, and how customers currently find you. I'll look at what's already in place, share where I'd focus, and send you a package builder so you can choose what works for you.

No obligation. Just a practical conversation about what makes sense for your business.
