The most effective way for a Whidbey Island business to improve its online presence is through a combination of local SEO and authentic storytelling. By optimizing your Google Business Profile and ensuring your website reflects the 'human' side of your brand, you build immediate trust with neighbors who are searching for your specific services.

At KORE Marketing, we focus on providing an elite level of service that protects your brand’s long-term reputation. I offer professional website design and management at a rate of $45 per hour. This allows us to scale the project to your specific needs—whether it's a strategic refresh or a full build from the ground up—ensuring you get a high-end digital front door that is functional, beautiful, and built the right way.

Hiring a local consultant like KORE Marketing ensures your brand is rooted in the community. Large agencies often use cookie-cutter templates, but a local partner understands the specific PNW aesthetic and the 'island pace' of our area. You get a human in your corner who lives and works right here on Whidbey.

Plus, who else would buy your coffee at the amazing coffee shops here!?

Quality and consistency matter more than frequency. For local PNW brands, 2 to 4 high-quality, authentic posts per week—focusing on storytelling and behind-the-scenes work—is more effective for building long-term trust than posting daily 'fluff' that ignores the algorithm.

Timeline varies by complexity, but most website refreshes take between 2 to 4 weeks. Because I work at a dedicated hourly rate of $45, we can move as fast or as meticulously as your schedule allows.

Absolutely. My goal is to be the human in your corner, not to take over your identity. Whether you are in the Bloom, Thrive, or Legacy package, we collaborate on strategic storytelling to ensure every post sounds like you. You always have the final say on the narrative and aesthetic of your brand.

Bundling these services ensures your brand is consistent everywhere a neighbor might find you. While social media builds long-term trust, your Google Business Profile is often the first thing people see when they search for immediate help. Managing both ensures your hours, photos, and local SEO are always working in harmony.
