What if the one thing holding your business back wasn’t your product or service, but your online visibility?
In Taunton, many small business owners still lack a strong online presence, which means lost customers, reduced sales, and limited growth. To help close that gap, a Marketing Grant Program has been created to support entrepreneurs who need a professional website, digital strategy, and long-term marketing tools.
This initiative grew out of the Office of Economic and Community Development and focuses on what they saw as the most pressing need today: digital marketing.
What is the Marketing Grant Program?
The program provides small businesses in Taunton with access to both grant funding and one-on-one marketing support. It’s not just about giving you a grant—it’s about building the foundation for your business to thrive online.
Included in the program:
- One-on-one coaching on website structure and content
- Logo design or redesign, with font and color palette selection
- Customized Wix website (easy to manage, $17/month hosting fee paid by the business owner)
- Keyword-focused content
- FAQs and AEO (answer engine optimization)
- Backend SEO keyword structure
- GEO – AI Generated Content
- Mobile and laptop optimization
- Google Business Profile setup and optimization
Once your website and digital presence are established, we will assist to creating a consistent brand message across many digital networks.
Why is this program important for Taunton businesses?
Many entrepreneurs are struggling to stay open—not because of weak products or services, but because customers can’t find them online. A well-designed, SEO-optimized website paired with an active Google Business Profile makes businesses visible in local search, improves credibility, and helps generate sales.
Who can benefit from the Marketing Grant Program?
The program supports business owners who:
- Have a brick and mortar business
- Have been in business for at least 1 year
- Have a minimal digital presence
- Have a website that doesn’t function well
- needs a marketing strategy to grow
By participating, small businesses not only gain a professional online presence but also build growth through sales.
What makes this program different?
Unlike other small business grants, this program ensures you are working with vetted vendors who understand your community and your goals. You’ll get personalized coaching, real SEO strategies, and the tools you need to compete online—without being left on your own.
