Good questions, honest answers
Is the ad spend included in the price?

Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Packages run month to month. The first month is paid upfront before work starts.
Who actually does the work?
Golden Ideas Marketing handles your account directly, from planning and design to posting and ads. Website builds are done with trusted development partners, while Golden Ideas Marketing manages the project, content and design direction from start to finish.
Can I start small and add things later?
Absolutely. Most clients start with social media and add the rest as they grow. Ads and website care can be added to any package, or taken on their own.
