Questions people usually ask before they reach out.
Answers about web design, Pinterest marketing, SEO, digital strategy, pricing and process, organized so you can jump straight to what you need.
The basics.
What is Marie Glow Studio?
Marie Glow Studio is a digital studio in Wichita, KS that helps product and service small businesses with web design and development, Pinterest marketing, SEO and digital strategy. The work is done by one person, start to finish, so your website, search visibility and marketing are planned together instead of in separate pieces.
Do you work with service businesses, or only product businesses?
Both. A product business needs a clear path from discovery to checkout. A service business needs a clear path from discovery to an inquiry, a call or a booking. Every site and strategy is built around the way your own customers actually say yes.
Do I need a website?
Yes, if you want Pinterest, search or referrals to turn into anything. Whatever brings someone to you should land them on a page built to answer their question and give them a next step: a product, a service page, a booking link or a contact form.
Do you only work with businesses in Wichita?
No. Marie Glow Studio is based in Wichita, Kansas and works remotely with small businesses across the United States. Local Wichita businesses get the same service, plus local SEO that is built with the area in mind.
How will we communicate?
You work directly with one person: me. Questions, missing information, access needs and updates go through the contact method set up during onboarding, and I reply personally within one to two business days.
Do you only build Shopify websites?
No. Shopify is one option, and it is usually the right one for an online store. Service businesses often do better with a fast custom-coded site connected to their booking tool or quote form. The business problem decides the platform, not the other way around.
What is included in the Website Starter?
The Website Starter, $249, is one professional page shaped around your business: a shop or a service, with the buy button, booking link or quote form that fits how your customers say yes. It is live in about five business days.
What is included in the Complete Website & Brand Identity package?
The Complete Website & Brand Identity package, $1,497, is full branding plus a multi-page site, built on Shopify for a store or custom-coded for a service business. It includes the visual identity work a single-page Starter site doesn’t need.
Do you redesign existing websites, or only build new ones?
Both. A redesign follows the same process as a new build: research and strategy first, then design. Existing content, branding and SEO work that is still working gets carried forward instead of thrown out.
How long does a website take?
A Website Starter is typically live in about five business days. A Complete Website & Brand Identity project takes longer, since it includes branding and multiple pages, and the exact timeline depends on how quickly your content, photos and feedback arrive.
Is Pinterest a social media platform or a search engine?
Pinterest is a visual search and discovery platform. People use it to search for products, services, ideas and solutions. Unlike traditional social media, an optimized pin can keep appearing in search results and driving traffic long after it was published.
Which Pinterest service should I choose?
Choose the Pinterest SEO Audit, $197, if you have an account and want to know what is working and what needs improvement. Choose Pinterest Account Setup, $497, for a new account or to rebuild one on a stronger foundation. Choose Pinterest Management, $497 to $1,097 a month, for ongoing strategy and content handled for you.
What is included in the Pinterest SEO Audit?
Your $197 audit reviews profile name and bio, boards, keywords, existing pins, account organization, website connection and analytics, and ends with personalized recommendations and a prioritized 30-day action plan.
What is included in Pinterest Account Setup?
The $497 setup builds or rebuilds your account foundation: keyword research, profile optimization, an SEO-focused bio, board planning with optimized titles and descriptions, and a content direction to start from.
What can Monthly Pinterest Management include?
Depending on the tier ($497, $797 or $1,097 a month), management can include keyword research, content planning, branded pin creation, SEO-focused titles and descriptions, alt text, scheduling, publishing, analytics review and strategy refinement.
How quickly does Pinterest marketing work?
Pinterest is a long-term platform. Some pins gain visibility quickly, others take weeks or months. Results vary based on your account, niche, keywords, content, website and publishing consistency.
What is included in the Website SEO Audit?
The $247 Website SEO Audit covers a technical crawl (speed, mobile, indexing, broken links, sitemap and robots.txt), an on-page review (titles, headings, meta, internal links), a local SEO check (Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, local keywords) and an AEO/AI-search readiness check (schema, FAQ structure, entity clarity), delivered as a written, prioritized fix list within about 7 business days.
What is included in SEO Foundations Setup?
The $697 SEO Foundations Setup covers up to 10 pages: a keyword map, titles and meta descriptions, schema markup, Search Console and Bing setup, a sitemap, internal linking and Google Business Profile optimization.
What is AEO, and do you do it?
AEO, answer engine optimization, is structuring a page so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers can read and cite it clearly: schema markup, direct answers near the top of a page, and FAQ sections that match what people actually ask. It’s included in both the Website SEO Audit and SEO Foundations Setup.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No ethical SEO service can guarantee specific rankings, impressions, clicks or sales. Results depend on your niche, competition, content and website, and on how consistently the recommended changes get implemented. The focus is building strong, honest foundations.
What is the Digital Strategy Roadmap?
The $397 Digital Strategy Roadmap maps your customer’s journey across your website, search, Pinterest, email and tools, shows where people are dropping off today, and hands you a written 90-day plan with priorities, plus a walkthrough of the findings.
Who is the roadmap for?
Businesses with more than one piece already in place, a website plus some Pinterest or email activity, who want a clear, written plan for what to fix first instead of guessing which piece to invest in next.
Does the roadmap price go toward anything else?
Yes. The $397 roadmap price is credited toward the Complete Website & Brand Identity package if you book it within 60 days.
How much does it cost to work with Marie Glow Studio?
Audits start at $197 for Pinterest and $247 for website SEO. The Website Starter is $249, the Digital Strategy Roadmap is $397, Pinterest Account Setup is $497, SEO Foundations Setup is $697, and the Complete Website & Brand Identity package is $1,497. Monthly Pinterest management runs $497 to $1,097. Every price is listed on its own service page.
Can I purchase a service without a consultation?
Yes. No consultation or application is required for most services. Choose your service, complete checkout, and follow the post-purchase instructions.
What happens after I purchase?
You’ll receive instructions for completing an intake form and providing the information, brand assets or account access your service needs. Work begins once that information arrives.
Will you need access to my accounts?
Some services, like Pinterest Account Setup or Management, or a website redesign, may need access to Pinterest, Shopify, your website or scheduling tools. Secure collaborator or delegated-access methods are used whenever the platform supports them.
Do I need to share my passwords?
Approved collaborator or delegated-access methods are used whenever the platform supports them, so sharing a raw password usually isn’t necessary. Intake instructions explain how to grant access for your specific service.
Can you guarantee results?
No. Rankings, impressions, clicks, leads and sales all depend on factors outside anyone’s control, including your niche, content, competition and market conditions. The focus is building strong, strategic foundations, not promising specific outcomes.
