We help your business get discovered, earn more customers, and continue growing. From social media and advertising to email marketing and website management, we handle the marketing while you focus on running your business. Every month, you'll receive clear reporting that shows exactly how your marketing is performing.

Why it works

The numbers behind what we do

Marketing only matters if it pays off. Here is what independent industry research says about the four things we handle for you.

Social Media

Consistency creates a wave of traffic

Up to 4.5x more reach per post

Posting eye catching content regularly across Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook can lift engagement and reach by up to 4.5x per post, and short form video alone drives 130% higher consumer engagement. The brands that show up daily are the ones customers remember and follow.

Email Marketing

The most profitable channel on earth

$36 to $42 back for every $1

Email is a direct line to warm leads you actually own, not an audience you rent from a shifting social algorithm. It returns $36 to $42 for every $1 spent, making it roughly 40x more effective at acquiring customers than Facebook and X combined.

Having a Website

No website quietly costs you buyers

76% visit within 24 hours

Going without a website erodes trust and turns away ready to buy customers: 31% of consumers will skip a business that has no website. Meanwhile 76% of people who run a local search on their phone visit a matching business within 24 hours. A site captures that high intent demand instead of losing it.

Premium Website Design

Great design stops revenue leaks

Up to 400% higher conversions

First impressions are overwhelmingly visual: 94% of them come down to design. Moving a site from bland and confusing to premium and easy to navigate can raise sales conversion rates by as much as 400%. The same traffic, far more customers.

Why we started North Pier

The best businesses in town were the hardest to find online. We couldn't let that stand.

We kept running into the same thing: incredible local businesses, the kind with decades of loyal customers and work they were proud of, that were almost invisible online. Meanwhile, brand new startups with half the substance were winning attention simply because they knew how to show up on a screen.

That gap felt deeply unfair. A new generation of customers searches, scrolls, and books everything online. If a business is not visible there, it slowly fades from view, no matter how good it is.

So we started North Pier Local Marketing to be the guiding light that brings these businesses home. We give established, hardworking businesses the same modern presence the big players have, the social channels, the website, the ads, the email, priced a la carte so they only ever pay for what they actually want.

Like the pier lights that guide ships safely into harbor, we believe every good business deserves a beacon. We are here to build yours.

What sets us apart

Built different than the big agencies

A la carte, always

Most agencies force you into bundled packages full of services you never asked for. With us, every service is its own menu item. You choose exactly what you want, pay only for what you choose, and adjust anytime.

We start where you actually are

Most firms expect you to already have a website, a following, and a budget to burn. We specialize in businesses with no marketing infrastructure at all, and we build the whole foundation for you.

Visibility and credibility, not lead quotas

We are not selling you leads per dollar spent. We grow the thing that actually wins customers over time: a business people can find, recognize, and trust.

Real reporting, every month

You will always know what we did and what it produced. Clear metrics, delivered regularly, in plain English. If we can't show you the work, we don't deserve your business.

Cost effective and proudly local

Big firms charge extortionate rates and make small businesses their lowest priority clients. Our flat monthly tiers deliver serious value at a price built for Main Street, and you will never be an afterthought to us.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I have to sign a long contract?+
No. Our services are month to month. We would rather earn your business with results than lock you in.

That is exactly how we are built. Every service is a la carte, so you can start with just social, just a website, or any single piece, and add more whenever you are ready.
I don't have a website or any social media yet. Can you still help?+
Absolutely. Businesses starting from zero are who we built this for. We set up everything from scratch and handle it from there.
How do I know it's actually working?+
You get clear reporting every month showing what we did and what it produced, in plain English. Real reporting is one of our non negotiables.
What does the setup fee cover?+
The one time setup covers building things properly the first time: creating accounts, branding your profiles, building your contact lists or website, and getting everything ready to perform.
