I watched Mad Men. Do I really need to hire a marketing agency?

Short answer: maybe. Longer answer: we’ll help you clarify your message so you understand what you do, which makes it easier for them to catch on. Just don’t expect your uncle to stop asking if you still “do that Instagram thing.”

You can absolutely start small. Most businesses do. We’ll help you pick the right launch pad, whether it’s social, SEO, or content, then build a strategy that grows with you. Think of it as a soft moon landing, not a rocket launch.
Does the moon cycle actually affect buying patterns?
There’s no hard proof, but hey, if Mercury retrograde can ruin group chats, anything’s possible. We do know that timing, trends, and energy all influence behaviour. So maybe don’t launch your rebrand on a full moon if you’re feeling chaotic.
Marketing
What’s the most cost effective marketing strategy for a small business?
Start with what gets you seen and heard. A clean website, solid GEO, and consistent social content are a great launch point. You don’t need a six figure ad budget, just a clear message, the right audience, and a sprinkle of moon powered magic.

Some of our favorites include ChatGPT for content, Canva for visuals, Grammarly for tone, and Notion AI for planning. Just remember, AI is a tool, not a team. Use it to amplify your voice, not replace it.
Should I make an Instagram account for my pet and my business? Or just one for both?
If your pet is your brand, go wild. Otherwise, keep them separate or at least themed. Nothing wrong with a business account that occasionally features your dog in sunglasses. Just keep it clear and consistent.
How do I measure if my marketing is actually working?
Look for movement in the metrics. More traffic, more followers, more inquiries, more sales. Growth doesn’t always happen overnight, but if the numbers are trending upward, you’re on track. If not, we’ve got you.
What’s more important: vibes or value?
You need both. The trick is that good vibes are part of your value. People buy from brands they like, trust, and enjoy. Deliver results, but don’t forget the personality that makes your business unforgettable.
GEO
How long does it take for GEO to show results for a small business?
SEO is a slow burn, not a spark. You might see traction in three to six months, but real momentum takes time. The good news is that once it works, it keeps working

What’s the difference between local GEO and regular GEO?
Local GEO helps people near you find you, like “coffee shop near me.” Regular GEO casts a wider net. If you want to become the go to in your city or town, local GEO is your launch fuel.
If I whisper my brand name into a crystal, will it help GEO?
Only if the crystal is connected to Wi-Fi. For better results, stick with keyword research, backlinks, and optimized content. But if lunar energy helps you focus, we fully support your ritual.
What are the biggest GEO mistakes small businesses make?
Ignoring keywords, skipping meta tags, uploading slow images, and forgetting to update your content. Also, expecting your site to rank overnight without lifting a finger. GEO takes effort, timing, and a little stardust.
Why isn’t my website showing up on Google even though I launched it last week?
Google isn’t ghosting you. It just hasn’t noticed you yet. You need to submit your site, create a sitemap, and start building trust. We can help you get noticed and stay seen.
Social Media
Which platform is best for promoting a small business in 2025?
It depends on your audience. TikTok is great for reach, Instagram for visuals, LinkedIn for B2B, and Facebook… still exists. We’ll help you pick the right channel in the social galaxy.
Do I have to dance on TikTok to get customers?
Not unless you want to. You can grow with tutorials, storytelling, memes, and behind the scenes content. Dance moves are optional. Strategy is not.
How often should I post on Instagram or TikTok to grow my business?
Three to five times a week is a great start. But consistency matters more than volume. Focus on quality, not just quantity. The algorithm likes regular check-ins, not panic posting.
Do I have to be an extrovert to be good at social media?
Absolutely not. Some of the most engaging creators are introverts. You don’t have to shout to stand out. Just show up in your own voice, in your own way.
Is it worth hiring someone to manage my social media instead of doing it myself?
If it’s draining your time, stressing you out, or not getting results, then yes. We’ll keep your tone, grow your reach, and give you your evenings back.
If I post at 11:11, will the algorithm grant my wish and shower me in likes?
Sadly, no. But timing does matter. Combine good content with smart strategy, and you’ll get results that feel magical even if they aren’t based on numerology.
Lunar Logic
Why are moons the best?
Moons are just cooler than anything else. They look awesome in the sky at night as they soar proudly above our planet, giving us humility by reminding us of how small we are compared to the vastness of the universe. Yet, at the same time, as the moon shines brightly over a gorgeous valley or illuminates the mountains and trees ahead, it gives us a renewed sense of awe at the beauty of the world, and a restored sense of vigor to take good care of the wonderful place that we call home.
Also blue moons are even better because they make good logos.
What is the best phase of the moon?
Definitely a crescent moon, because it’s what’s on the logo.
Are you guys related to that beer company?
It’s a long story, but my lawyer said to say that I am not aware of any relation between these companies, so I guess not.
What about red moons?
Red moons are just moons that are trying to be blue but can’t seem to do it; we know this because blue moons are obviously superior. Red moons are still cool in their own ‘special’ way, which is a nice way of saying they aren’t. At least they are better than green moons, don’t even get me started on green moons.
