Thirty days is enough to go from “I have a business” to “customers can find, trust and contact me online.” Here’s the plan, week by week.
Week 1: Foundations
- Confirm your business name, domain and social handles are available.
- Form your entity and get your EIN (if not done).
- Write your one-sentence offer: “We help [who] get [result] with [how].”
- List your top 3 competitors and what you’ll do differently.
- Gather content: photos, bios, service descriptions, testimonials.
Week 2: Brand identity
- Design your logo, color palette and fonts.
- Create a one-page brand guide.
- Design social profile images and covers.
- Design business cards and an email signature.
Week 3: Website and tech
- Build 5–7 pages with clear calls to action.
- Set up hosting, SSL and professional email.
- Add titles, meta descriptions and an XML sitemap.
- Connect Google Search Console and Analytics 4.
- Test on phones and fix anything slow or broken.
Week 4: Launch
- Go live and submit your sitemap.
- Create or claim your Google Business Profile (local businesses).
- Announce to your network by email and on LinkedIn.
- Publish your first posts and schedule the next 30 days.
- Ask early customers for reviews.
Shortcut: weeks 2 and 3 are the hardest to do alone. The StartupLime Brand Box handles brand identity, website, email, SEO setup and 30 days of social content for you, so you can focus on customers.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Spending weeks perfecting a logo while the website doesn’t exist
- Launching without analytics, so you can’t learn what works
- Going silent on social after launch day
- Using a free email address (it hurts trust)
