Square DealStudio

Marketing and growth shop, Los Angeles

We build up the site you already have.

Your photos, your words, your way of doing things. We start from what your business already is and make its site stronger. For businesses picked through our outreach program, that part is free, no strings. After that, if you want more help, we're here for it.

Start here

A free tool, before anything else.

We don't have client stories to show you yet. So the first thing we're putting out is a gift: the tool we built for our own product photo shoots. Anyone can download it and use it, no sign-up.

  • Every switch on its own control page: HDR sets, brackets per set, exposure filter, cores, Helicon method, radius and smoothing
  • Changes apply to the next stack, with no restart

How the free site works

  1. We pick you. We hand-pick local businesses we like and want to see do well.
  2. We build it first. From your own photos, words and reviews. You don't have to ask or pay for anything.
  3. You see it in private. We show you in person or send a link only you have. It isn't on Google, and the link deletes itself in 3 days.
  4. It's yours if you want it. Tell us and we'll send the files. Keep them, change them or take them to anyone. Your web person can put it up, or we can help.
“There’s a lot of ways to get your foot in the door. A fully customized, finished website is a good one.”

Keeping it running

Monthly

  • Updates, renewals and fixes handled without you asking
  • A request box: say what you want changed and we build it
  • Hours, menus, prices and listings kept current
  • Tech help when the site, domain or email acts up

Systems that talk to each other

Flat-price setups

  • A checkup of the tools you use today and where calls, orders and messages slip through
  • Online shop, booking, order and reminder notices, phones, local delivery
  • Repeat chores automated, like shipping labels and pickups booked when an order comes in
  • Every call, form, email and DM in one place

Security audits

By the job

  • Advanced security audits and live AI attack simulations of your site, accounts and tools, run by an outside firm
  • A report in plain words: what they found and what to fix first
  • We fix what we can and tell you what's left
  • Nothing gets tested until you sign off

Photos, video and signs

By the job

  • Studio product photos, on-site photos of your shop and people, video and editing
  • Local photographers we work with
  • Signs and displays through local makers

Launch refresh

By the job

  • When your new site goes live, we update your socials to match: profile photos, banners, bios, links and hours
  • A pinned launch post, sent to you to approve first
  • Your logo rebuilt sharp, once
  • You add us as a manager or approve each change. We never ask for your passwords.

Social and creative

Monthly

  • One person checks in with you, we make the posts from your real photos
  • You approve every post before it goes out
  • Hands-on creative work and real shoots when you want more

Marketing

By application

  • Google Business Profile, local search and reviews
  • Google, Meta and Microsoft ads, with spend you set and approve
  • Gun and ammo shops: tasteful boosted posts, local search and reviews, inside Google's and Meta's rules
  • Email newsletters and campaigns
  • Growth research: what customers around you are asking for
  • A monthly report in plain words

Network and outreach

By application

  • Introductions to other businesses we work with, only when both sides say yes
  • A watch on upcoming local projects that fit what you do, and outreach you approve

Ask us for prices. Every quote shows two numbers: what you pay us, and any ad budget, which goes straight from your card to Google or Meta. We never hold it or mark it up.

Your site is the foundation, and the foundation is only the start. We have no interest in your money unless we can build the real structure on that foundation.

Plans, if you want them

You can pay us nothing. The site is yours and it runs fine without us. But cyberattacks are getting a lot smarter and cheaper with AI, so it's worth having someone watch it, and that starts at $40. Our higher plans can add live attack simulations from frontier-level AI hackers, so you're prepared for the next level of threats.

If you work with us

  • It stays yours. Your domain, hosting, accounts and files stay in your name. If we ever part ways, nothing breaks.
  • You approve it first. Anything posted under your name or paid with your money waits for your OK.
  • One person to talk to. By text, email or Messenger, whatever you already use.
  • No promised results. If you're on marketing, a monthly report shows what happened.

Run it from your phone

On a plan, you get a feed of your own. Ask for what you want, see what we made, and decide what goes live.

  • Ask in plain words. Add a photo if it helps
  • We build it and send a preview. Tap Push live
  • Changed your mind? Undo puts it back
  • You keep the keys. We never ask for your passwords
