Gro-Star · local business opportunity
Could your business be our next Gro-Star transformation?
We're looking for two brilliant local businesses that deserve a better online presence.
Maybe your website is looking tired. Perhaps you've been relying on Facebook or Instagram. Or maybe you've built a fantastic business but your online presence simply doesn't reflect how good you really are.
Gro-Star is looking for two local businesses to become our next showcase projects.
Apply for a free business makeoverTwo businesses will be selected by Gro-Star.
The opportunity
Your business is brilliant.
Does your online presence show it?
Gro-Star helps small businesses look bigger, get found and grow.
We're looking for two businesses where we can make a genuine difference. We'll work with the selected businesses to transform the areas of their digital presence that need it most — completely free of charge.
A beautiful new website or website redesign
Refreshed branding and visual identity
Mobile optimisation
Better calls-to-action
Contact and enquiry forms
Online booking or lead capture where appropriate
Improved presentation of products or services
Basic search/SEO foundations
Simple automation where it genuinely helps the business
Every business is different, so the exact makeover will be tailored to the two selected businesses. The final scope will be agreed before work begins.
The exchange
So... what's the catch?
There really isn't one.
Gro-Star is building a portfolio of brilliant local business transformations, and we're looking for two businesses that will make fantastic showcase projects.
There is no charge for Gro-Star's design and development work.
In return, the selected businesses must be happy for Gro-Star to document the transformation and use the project, including appropriate before-and-after examples and results, as a Gro-Star case study and in our marketing.
You'll still own your business, your content and your website. We just get to proudly show people what we created together.
