## Why Castillo & Coast exists

St. Augustine is a beautiful place to run a business, and a tough place to grow consistently. Peak seasons bring crowds; slow months bring quiet. Too often, marketing and operations are fragmented: a site that doesn’t convert, social that’s exhausting, no real email engine, and manual tasks that eat up your week.

We built Castillo & Coast to fix that; simply. Start with a free 30‑minute Growth Audit. We’ll pinpoint the two biggest gaps holding you back and send a short report with practical next steps you can implement yourself or hand off to us.

## What we do

Pick one area or mix and match

- **Local Visibility:** Google Business Profile + on‑site SEO pages + content that matches tourist intent → *be the place people find before they arrive.*
- **Social & Content:** A realistic posting plan + reusable templates + content that matches how people actually shop → *consistent without the grind.*
- **Email & SMS:** Newsletter + automated flows to bring customers back → *repeat buyers without constant posting.*
- **E‑com Tune‑Up:** Shopify/Square friction fixes + cart recovery + tasteful upsells → *more revenue from the same traffic.*
- **Inventory & Ops:** Stock alerts, POS integration, reorder dashboards, and “stop re‑typing the same thing” automations → *hours back every month.*

## Who We’re Built For

We work best with owner‑operated businesses that care about craft and customer experience—and want a system that turns one‑time visitors into repeat buyers.

**Good fits include:**

- Art galleries
- High‑end boutiques
- Specialty food/coffee
- Experience studios (classes, bookings, maker spaces)
- Local/neighborhood bars and restaurants

## How We Work

- **Step 1: Growth Audit (free):**
  
  30 minutes. You talk, we listen. We review what matters and send a short report with your top two priorities.
- **Step 2: Pick a Sprint (2–4 weeks):**
  
  Choose the module(s) that move revenue or save time fastest: visibility, retention, e‑com fixes, operations, or something else.
- **Step 3: Build + Automate:**
  
  We implement improvements in tight, practical increments, so you feel progress weekly; not “someday.”
- **Step 4: Measure What Matters:**
  
  We track signals tied to real outcomes (leads, bookings, sales, repeat purchases, hours saved).

## What Makes Castillo & Coast Different

- **Local, hands‑on support** for St. Augustine‑area businesses
- **Teach‑as‑we‑go** so your team isn’t stuck depending on outside help forever
- **Modular + flexible**: month‑to‑month, focused on what pays off first
- **Creative + technical in the same room**: brand story and automation can, and should, work together

## Simple Pricing (No Long Contracts)

- **Free 30‑minute intro and discovery meeting** + short follow‑up growth audit report
- **$50/hour**, **5‑hour monthly minimum**, month‑to‑month
