Most Southern Maine Small Businesses Are Invisible Online

You are good at what you do. Your customers know it. But right now, someone is searching Google for exactly what you offer and clicking on your competitor instead.

That is not a quality problem. It is a visibility problem. And it is fixable.

Most small business websites in Maine are either out of date, built on a template nobody optimized, or ranking on page three for searches that matter. And now, AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI are answering buyer questions before users even click a search result. If your business is not showing up there either, a whole new wave of buyers is passing you by.

One Team. Everything Your Website Needs to Actually Work.

We handle the strategy, the design, the SEO, the AI search optimization, and the ongoing maintenance so you never have to think about it.

Setup Fee, Then One Monthly Fee

A one-time setup fee gets the site designed, written and launched. After that it is one predictable monthly fee that covers hosting, maintenance and updates. No surprise charges, and no rebuild every three years because someone let the site rot.

Built for Search, Traditional and AI

Every site we build is optimized for Google. Authority and Enterprise tiers add AI search optimization so your business shows up in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity when buyers ask questions in your category.

Strategy, Not Just Design

207 Marketing is run by a marketer who has worked at the enterprise level in B2B technology. That experience shows up in how we treat your website as a tool that generates business, not a page that looks nice.

Simple Pricing. No Headaches.

Most Maine businesses avoid getting a website because the quotes are too high. We built a different model.

1

Choose Your Plan

Start with the plan that matches where you are. Launch Page for a single-page presence. Growth Site for a full service-area site. Authority for the full SEO and AI search stack.

2

We Build It and Launch It

We handle design, copy, hosting setup, SEO structure, and technical configuration. Your setup is a one-time fee. Everything after that is monthly.

3

We Keep It Running

Unlimited updates, ongoing SEO, security monitoring, and performance maintenance every month, without another invoice.

What Our Clients Are Saying

We spent two years trying to get a website set up through another company with nothing but difficulties, poor results, and wasted resources. We got in contact with 207 Marketing and Design and haven’t looked back. Matt and his team have exceeded our expectations in every way. After our first meeting I knew this was the only company for us. Honest, professional, and knowledgeable. Having a team understand your business and genuinely care about results is priceless. We cannot recommend this company enough.

Ben CyrJan 14, 2025

We highly recommend 207 Marketing & Design! We did not realize what a relief it would be having them take over the website/marketing for us. Matt has above average communication and flexibility. All it takes is an e-mail and whatever we need changed, added or taken off the site is done within minutes. This service is worth every single penny.

MD RentalJan 6, 2025

207 Marketing & Design designed our website for us and it looks great. It is very professional looking and easy to navigate. Anytime I request updates to certain areas it is done within moments. Pricing was fair. They are also helping us to do some targeted advertising on social media. I would definitely recommend them.

Teresa BulcroftNov 19, 2024

Matt has been amazing to work with! He has helped us navigate building a website, creating a booking system, SEO, and so much more!

If you’re looking for an awesome website with great SEO, Matt’s your guy.

Built by a Strategist, Not Just a Designer

207 Marketing was founded by Matthew St. Jean, a Southern Maine native with experience running digital strategy at the enterprise level in B2B technology.

Matt understands what makes a website generate business because he has built and managed marketing programs for companies significantly larger than the ones he now helps. That experience shows up in how every client engagement is approached, as a revenue problem, not a design project.

  • Enterprise B2B marketing background
  • Southern Maine native
  • Accountable to your results, not just your deliverables

Most agencies build you a website and hand you the keys. We build the strategy, run the SEO, handle the maintenance, and stay accountable to your results. You focus on the business. We handle the digital.

Common Questions

What is subscription-based website design?

Instead of paying a large upfront fee for a website and then managing it yourself, our subscription model gives you a professionally designed, fully hosted, continuously maintained website for one monthly fee. Setup fees are a fraction of traditional web design costs, and your site is kept updated, secure, and optimized every month.

What does the free website mockup include?

We design a real mockup of your homepage based on your business, your industry, and your service area at no cost and with no obligation. It is not a template screenshot. It is a custom preview so you can see what your site could look like before committing to anything.

Do you only work with businesses in Maine?

Our primary focus is Southern Maine and York County, where we have deep knowledge of the local market and local business landscape. We also work with businesses in Seacoast New Hampshire. Reach out to us to discuss your situation.

What is AI search optimization and why does it matter?

AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity are now answering buyer questions before users click a single search result. AI search optimization structures your website content so these tools understand your business and recommend it when buyers ask relevant questions.

Do you offer ongoing SEO after the site is launched?

Yes. Every plan includes SEO structure from the start. Our Growth Site tier includes local SEO optimization. Our Authority tier includes local plus AI search optimization, keyword and competitor tracking, and retargeting pixel setup, all included in the monthly fee.
