Our Process
How We Help Startups Move From Idea to Traction

02
Market & Digital Review
Assess your website, competitors, search demand, positioning, and available marketing data.

Prioritized Growth Plan
Identify the most important near-term actions and a realistic sequence for implementation.

Support by Stage
Marketing Support From Idea Stage Through Growth
Startups do not all need the same marketing plan. A pre-launch founder may need messaging, a landing page, and a way to capture early interest. A recently launched company may need search visibility, analytics, and a repeatable lead generation process.
As the business grows, the priorities may expand to paid acquisition, conversion optimization, lifecycle marketing, and more sophisticated reporting or automation.
Galaxy helps identify the next useful investment rather than treating every marketing service as equally urgent.

Startup Marketing FAQs
Questions Founders Ask Before Getting Started
Answers about budgets, websites, SEO, paid advertising, and choosing a practical marketing approach for an early-stage business.
What marketing services does a startup need first?
Most startups should begin with clear positioning, a useful website or landing page, reliable contact or lead capture, and basic measurement. SEO, paid advertising, content, and automation can be added according to audience demand, budget, and goals.
How much does startup marketing cost?
Costs depend on your stage, channels, and scope. Galaxy offers startup marketing packages beginning at $250 per month, with larger packages and a starter website option. Pricing, availability, and inclusions are confirmed in a written proposal.
Can Galaxy help if we do not have a website yet?
Yes. Galaxy offers website planning and development, including a one-page starter website option described in its startup packages. The right approach depends on your offer, audience, and launch goals.
Do startups need SEO before running Google Ads?
Not always. SEO supports long-term search visibility, while paid advertising can test demand and generate traffic more quickly. The best sequence depends on your market, budget, landing page readiness, and goals.
Can you help startups with limited marketing budgets?
Yes. Our approach emphasizes prioritization, education, and staged implementation. We can discuss a focused consulting engagement or foundational services before expanding into additional channels.
Do you work with grant-funded or incubator-supported startups?
We can discuss relevant experience and tailor a marketing scope to a startup’s reporting requirements, available funding, and business goals.
Can Galaxy support AI and automation for startups?
Yes. Galaxy provides technology consulting, CRM integrations, workflow automation, and custom AI-related solutions where they address a specific operational or marketing need.
Does Galaxy only serve Detroit startups?
No. Galaxy is based in Metro Detroit and serves startups throughout Southeast Michigan, with remote marketing and technology services available for organizations in other locations.
