Client brief · Quarter one

What you've paid for. What comes next.

In August, a search for antique malls in West Point returned 15 businesses. Mockingbird Lane was not one of them. Three months later you have a finished logo, a live website that has been submitted to Google and Bing, and a Google profile on Search and Maps. Here is exactly what your money built, what is still coming, and what the monthly work is for.

Your visibility report, measured today

We ran a full visibility check on November 14, 2026. These are measured results, not estimates. In August, Mockingbird Lane could not be found. Here is where you stand now.

What the AI assistants say

We asked five AI assistants the same 11 questions a shopper might ask, such as "Where can I shop for antiques near West Point?" and "Which antique malls in West Point are open on Saturdays?" None of the questions used your name. You were named on 6 of the 11.

Gemini5 of 11
ChatGPT3 of 11
Google AI Mode1 of 11
Claude0 of 11
Perplexity0 of 11

On Gemini, you are named more often than any other antique shop in West Point. On ChatGPT you are third, behind Annabelle's and Bits N Pieces. Claude and Perplexity do not name you yet. Three months ago none of them could have.

Where the work goes next

A good report still shows where to push. These are the gaps, and each one is already in your plan.

  • Reviews. You have 0 Google reviews. Maw Maw's Treasures has 63, Annabelle's has 52 and Bits N Pieces has 26. You are winning the map without reviews. With them, you hold it.
  • The regular Google results. You lead the map, but your website is not yet in the top 20 of the listings below it. That is normal for a site a few weeks old. Blog articles and links from other sites are what move it.
  • Claude and Perplexity. Two of the five assistants do not name you yet. The AI visibility work and your listings are aimed at this.
  • Booth rental searches. You do not show yet for sellers looking for booth space. Your Booths page and articles will target it.
  • Phone speed. Your site scores 82 of 100 for speed on a phone and 96 on a computer. We will tighten the phone score.

Measured November 14, 2026 from West Point, Mississippi. Map rank, the 25-point grid and website scores come from Google data. AI answers were collected from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Rankings and AI answers shift from day to day, so this is your baseline. Every Scoreboard from here is compared against it. Apple Maps and directory listings were not part of this check.

Dekodi is your marketing department

This is the part that matters most. You are not renting software. Plenty of companies will sell you a website builder or a posting tool and leave you to run it. That is not what this is.

Dekodi is the marketing arm of Mockingbird Lane Antique Market. You get the technology. You also get the people who know how to use it, a plan for what to do with it, and the work actually getting done.

The technology

Your website, your AI Studio, your Scoreboard, and the search and AI visibility platforms. Built for you and kept running.

The experts

A creative director, a head of design, web strategists, photographers, writers and AI developers. A full team, not one freelancer.

The guidance

Someone who reads your numbers, tells you what to do next, and tells you plainly what is not worth your money yet. You bring the direction. We bring the plan.

The doing

We write it, design it, post it, submit it and fix it, including unlimited graphic design every month. You approve. You do not have to learn any of it.

You run the market. We run the marketing. A full team of strategists, designers, writers and AI specialists, working from one plan, for $747 a month.

Your part: direction and input

We do the work, but we cannot guess what is happening inside your building. Nobody knows Mockingbird Lane like you do. The marketing is only as good as what you tell us, so this does need you.

  • Tell us what is coming. Sales, events, new vendors, special hours. A quick text or call is enough.
  • Show us what is new. A phone photo of a fresh booth or a good find gives us something real to post.
  • Give direction on requests. When you ask for a flyer or a post, tell us the date, the offer and who it is for.
  • Approve or change it. Nothing goes out under your name until you have seen it.

A few minutes of your input each week is what turns our work into your marketing.

07

What a listing is, and why it matters

A listing is your business card on someone else's website. Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook and dozens of smaller directories each keep their own record of your name, address, phone number and hours.

  • People look there. Someone asks their phone for antiques near West Point. The answer comes from these records.
  • Google checks them. When your name, address and phone match everywhere, Google trusts that you are real and shows you more often. When they do not match, it shows you less.
  • AI tools read them. ChatGPT, Google's AI answers and Siri pull from these same directories when someone asks where to shop.

Listings are not a one-time setup. We enter your business on each one by hand, then manage them every month: fixing records that drift, adding new directories and keeping hours and photos current. It is slower than a bulk tool, but every record is correct, and you own them all.

08

How digital marketing and AI bring people in

Every shopper who has never been to Mockingbird Lane starts the same way. They pick up a phone and ask. Some open the map. Some type into Google. More every month ask an AI assistant. Digital marketing is the work of being the answer in all three places. More people finding you means more people at the register, and a busy floor is what keeps vendors renting.

Visibility

Being on the map

Your Google profile, Apple Maps and your listings. It answers "antique stores near me." We keep your hours right, add new photos, post updates and build up reviews.

Fastest of the three. Changes usually show in 4 to 8 weeks.

SEO

Being the answer on Google

Search engine optimization. In plain terms, making your website the best answer when someone types "antiques West Point Mississippi." We write pages and articles that answer what shoppers ask, and earn links from other trusted sites.

Slower. Expect 60 to 120 days for rankings to move.

AI

Being the name the assistant says

More people now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI where to go instead of scrolling results. Those tools only recommend a business they can read about and trust. We make your site easy for them to read and keep your details the same everywhere.

Neither of the other antique malls in town has a website. You are ahead here already.

One article, used four ways

You should not have to feed four channels. We write one blog article, and your AI Studio turns it into the rest automatically.

  1. Step 1Blog article

    Published on your site. Answers a real question shoppers search for.

  2. Step 2Social posts

    The article becomes Facebook and Instagram posts in your brand.

  3. Step 3Short video

    The same story cut into a short video for people who scroll.

  4. Step 4Email and text

    Sent to your list, so past shoppers hear about it too.

"But most people don't Google antique markets."

Fair point, and partly true. Most of your shoppers will hear about you from a friend, a vendor, or a Facebook post. Very few wake up and type "antique market."

Here is what happens next, though. They pick up their phone. They check if you are open, where you are, and whether it looks worth the drive. That check is a search, even when they already know your name.

Search is rarely how people hear about you. It is how they decide to come.

So the question is not whether people search for antique markets. It is what they find when they look you up. In August the answer was nothing, or a Facebook page that said Closed.

The people who do search "antique stores near me" are a small group, and they are the easiest sale you will ever make. They have already decided to shop. They are only choosing where. Until October, that choice was between two other malls.

Your playbook cited that 97% of people look online before visiting a local business. BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 45% of US consumers used AI tools for local recommendations, up from 6% a year earlier. Google reports about 10 searches a month for "antiques west point ms," and too few to count for the other phrases. That is why the map, name lookups and AI answers matter more here than typed searches.

The searches we are going after

These are the searches we are building your pages, listings and articles around. This is the target list. Where you rank on the map for the main ones today is in section 04.

Going forward: your monthly service

The build was the first quarter. From here the work is monthly. The rest of your package is $747 a month. Of that, $497 is allocated toward the marketing work and $250 toward running your AI Studio. Because of our relationship, we are delivering our top service level, the Digital Engine, at that same price. That means the tools and the team in section 06, doing all of the work below for you.

Digital Engine, standard

$1,999a month

$23,988 over twelve months.

Your price

$747a month

$8,964 over twelve months. That is $15,024 less than standard.

Unlimited

Unlimited graphic design, every month

Every flyer, sign and graphic Mockingbird Lane needs from here on is already paid for. You give us the direction, we make it in your logo and colors, and you approve it. There is no cap and no charge per piece.

This is part of our Digital Engine service level, the top one we offer. It is the level you are getting.

What that looks like in the weeks ahead

Your own calendar already has work waiting. Each of these is a design request you can make today. All we need from you is the details: the date, the offer and anything you want it to say.

What it has to earn back

Two things pay you back: booths that stay rented, and more people buying at the register. Move the sliders to match your real numbers. This is math on your numbers, not a promised return.

Three or four booths that stay rented cover the cost on their own. Every sale above that is growth.

Staying fully booked

More people through the door

Try a scenario:

From booths

a year in rent kept

From added sales

Left after cost

after the $11,714 year one cost

Back for every $1

booths kept rented cover the $747 monthly on their own.
extra sales a week cover the $747 monthly on their own.

How the work keeps booths full. Your Booths page shows vendors what they get. The site collects the names of people asking about space. The door counter gives you a real traffic number to show a vendor deciding whether to renew. Vendors stay where shoppers are.

How the work brings in sales. At 3 to 4 sales a week, the problem is not the store. People do not know it is there. The Google profile catches "antiques near me." Listings and reviews make you the one they pick. Blog articles and the AI visibility work bring in people asking questions online. Social posts and your email and text list bring past shoppers back for the next event.

What the starting numbers assume: 30 booths, $250 average rent, a $25 average sale and 3 to 4 sales a week today. Where a sale belongs to a vendor, you keep your commission and the vendor keeps the rest, so lower the last slider to match. We will redo this with real door counts once the counter is in.
