Where your first $2,750 went
Your package is Growth + AI Studio. It is one package, not a list of separate charges. The first part of your budget, $2,750, was paid on August 18, 2026, and it was allocated two ways: toward your deliverables, and toward your AI.
| Allocated toward | What that is | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Your deliverables | The things you can see and hold: logo, brand kit, website, photos, video, Google profile and search engine submission. Mostly delivered. | $1,500 |
| Your AI | Your AI Studio, the Brand Studio Agent trained on your logo, colors and voice. The build has started. | $1,250 |
| First part of your budget | Paid August 18, 2026 | $2,750 |
What that payment has built
Twelve pieces of work so far. The logo alone used $495 of the $1,500 allocated toward your deliverables, in direct design cost. Everything else on this list came out of what was left.
| Item | What we did | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Logo | A full design round with dozens of concepts from many designers, then a second round with a specialist to refine the one you liked. Final files in every format. Direct design cost: $495. | Done |
| Brand kit | Your colors, fonts and logo versions in one place, so everything looks like you. | Done |
| Website design | Four different site directions designed for you to choose from. | Done |
| Website build | The chosen design built out: Home, Booths, Calendar and Story pages. | Done |
| Website launch | Site put live on your own web address, with the domain connected and checked. | Done |
| Submitted to Google and Bing | We told both search engines the site exists and gave them a map of every page. This is what lets you start showing up when someone searches for antiques, and not only when they type your name. | Done |
| Photography | Multiple photo sessions at the market, so the site shows what is really in the building. | Final edits coming |
| Video | Two videos. The first, an AI-generated video, is finished. | 1 of 2 delivered |
| Calendar and Fresh finds | Two sections of the site that update from a simple Google Sheet, so you can change them yourself. | Built, training to come |
| Google Business Profile | Created, verified and live on Google Search and Maps since October 15. First round of optimization done. | Live |
| Prairie Arts flyer and raffle | Flyer, QR code and an entry form that captured names and phone numbers. | Done |
| Facebook cover and page details | New cover art in your brand and corrected page information. | Finished, handover to come |
Your visibility, before and after
The short version of what changed. The measured numbers behind it are in your visibility report in section 04.
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.
On Google Maps for "antiques West Point MS," ahead of every other shop in town.
Map points around West Point where you show in the top three. We checked a grid of 25 spots.
Out of 100 for your website's search basics. Google can read every page.
Times AI assistants named you when asked shopper questions. In August they had nothing to read.
Where you rank on Google Maps
This is the map that comes up when someone searches on their phone. Position 1 is the top spot.
| When someone searches | August | Today |
|---|---|---|
| antiques west point ms | Not listed | #1 |
| antique store west point mississippi | Not listed | #1 |
| mockingbird lane antique market | Not listed | #1 |
| antique mall west point ms | Not listed | #2 |
| antique stores golden triangle ms | Not listed | #3 |
| vendor booth rental west point ms | Not listed | Not in the top 20 yet |
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.
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.
Still to build, already covered
You do not pay extra for any of these. They are all part of your package, and most of them begin right from kickoff.
| Item | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AI Studio | Your on-call designer and writer. Ask for a Christmas post and finished art in your colors comes back in minutes. It also reminds you before an event, not after. It is finished, then kept running, through your monthly service. | Build started |
| Second video | The second of your two videos. | To deliver |
| Facebook cover and page details | Finished work, waiting to be handed over and put live. | To deliver |
| Calendar training | A short session showing you how to update the Calendar and Fresh finds from the Google Sheet. | To schedule |
| Business listings | Your business entered by hand on the directories that matter, then managed and kept correct every month. See section 07. | Monthly |
| AI visibility setup | Your business set up in our AI visibility platform, so we can work on how you appear in Google's AI answers and track it. | Next |
| Apple Maps | Your pin and details on iPhones and in Siri. | In progress |
| Google profile, round two | More photos, services, posts and answers to common questions. | In progress |
| Search basics on the site | The behind-the-scenes labels that tell Google what each page is about. | In progress |
| Blog articles | Articles on your site that answer what shoppers search for. Each one is another door into your website, and each one is turned into social posts and short videos automatically. | Monthly |
| Review system | A card at the register, a button on the site and a follow-up message that ask happy shoppers for a review. | To do |
| Door counter and call tracking | So you know how many people walked in and called, and can show vendors the number. | To do |
| Email and text campaigns | A simple way to collect names, then campaigns built and sent through your AI Studio to tell people about the next event. | Monthly |
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.
Your website, your AI Studio, your Scoreboard, and the search and AI visibility platforms. Built for you and kept running.
A creative director, a head of design, web strategists, photographers, writers and AI developers. A full team, not one freelancer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What each one is made of, and how Dekodi delivers it
| Visibility | SEO | AI discoverability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is made of | Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, business listings, reviews, photos and posts. | The pages on your website, the words on them, blog articles, and links from other trusted sites. | A site AI tools are allowed to read, your business details written in the code they understand, plain questions and answers, and matching details across the web. |
| What Dekodi does | Runs your listings by hand and keeps them correct. Posts to your Google profile. Runs the review system. Adds new photos. | Submitted your site to Google and Bing. Sets up each page for the searches below. Writes and publishes blog articles every month. | Sets you up in our AI visibility platform. Adds questions and answers to the site. Checks what ChatGPT and Google's AI say about antiques in West Point and works on the gaps. |
| What it does for sales | Puts you in front of people already out looking for a place to shop today. | Brings in people planning a trip or hunting for something specific, like milk glass or a mid-century dresser. | Gets your name said when someone asks an assistant where to go. Few local shops are set up for this yet. |
| What it does for booths | Reviews and a full map listing show vendors the place is alive. | Your Booths page gets found by people searching for booth space to rent. | When someone asks AI where to sell antiques near West Point, you can be the answer. |
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.
- Step 1Blog article
Published on your site. Answers a real question shoppers search for.
- Step 2Social posts
The article becomes Facebook and Instagram posts in your brand.
- Step 3Short video
The same story cut into a short video for people who scroll.
- 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.
| Who | What they do on their phone | What was there in August | What is there now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heard about you from a friend | Types your name to check hours and directions | Nothing, or a page that said Closed | Your Google profile, map pin, hours and website |
| In town for a game weekend or Prairie Arts | Opens the map and looks for something to do nearby | The other two antique malls | Your profile on the map, with real photos |
| Ready to shop today | Searches "antique stores near me." Fewer people, but every one of them is ready to walk in somewhere. | The other two antique malls | You, and you are the only one of the three with a website |
| Asks an AI assistant | "Where can I find antiques around West Point?" | Nothing an assistant could read | A site built for AI to read, with the visibility work starting |
| A seller who wants a booth | Searches for booth space to rent | Nothing | Your Booths page |
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.
| Search | Who is asking | What we point at it |
|---|---|---|
| Mockingbird Lane Antique Market | People who heard your name and want hours or directions | Google profile, Home page |
| antiques West Point MS | Locals and visitors ready to shop | Home page, Google profile, listings |
| antique mall West Point Mississippi | Shoppers comparing the malls in town | Home page, reviews |
| antique stores near me | Anyone nearby with a phone in hand | Google profile, Apple Maps, listings |
| antique stores Golden Triangle | Shoppers in Columbus and Starkville planning a drive | Blog articles, Story page |
| vendor booth rental West Point MS | Sellers looking for space | Booths page |
| things to do in West Point MS | Game weekend and festival visitors | Calendar page, blog articles |
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
$23,988 over twelve months.
Your price
$8,964 over twelve months. That is $15,024 less than standard.
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.
| Coming up | What we can make for it |
|---|---|
| Black Friday on the Lane, November 27 | Sale flyer, booth sale tags, Facebook and Instagram graphics, a text to your list |
| Christmas on Main, December 5 | Late-hours sign for the door, event graphic, a short video for social |
| Christmas closing, December 24 to 26 | Holiday hours card for the door, Google and Facebook, so nobody drives over to a locked door |
| Any week | Vendor spotlights, "booth available" signs, new-arrival posts, gift guides, register signs asking for reviews |
| Each month | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Business listings, run and managed | Entered by hand on the directories that matter, then kept correct every month. One name, address and phone everywhere. |
| Google profile kept current | Right hours, new photos and regular posts |
| Review system running | New reviews coming in, bad experiences caught privately first |
| Social posts and short videos | Made automatically from each blog article, so your Facebook and Instagram stay active without you writing them |
| Blog articles on your website | New articles that answer what shoppers search for. Each one feeds your social posts and videos. |
| AI visibility work | Questions and answers, and site updates so AI tools can recommend you |
| AI Studio kept running | Your agent stays trained, connected and sending reminders. It powers the design, social and campaign work on this list. |
| Unlimited graphic design, every month | Flyers, signs, event graphics, social art, whatever you need, whenever you ask, made through your AI Studio. No cap and no per-piece charge. |
| Email and text campaigns | Built and sent through your AI Studio to tell your list about the next sale or event |
| Your Scoreboard, reviewed with you | One report each month: map views, calls, reviews, rankings, site visits |
Also included as they come due: a press release each quarter, a yearly photo and video day, and ad management once ads make sense for you. Ad spend itself is paid to Google or Facebook and is separate. The date of your first monthly payment will be confirmed with you before anything is charged.
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

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.
