Let Your Community Tell Your Story

Build a true brand. We connect you with local creators and storytellers who help customers find you, in person and online.

Questions business owners ask

I already have a website, so why can't I change anything on it?
+

A lot of owners inherit a site from a builder who disappeared. We rescue it or rebuild it on a platform you can actually log in to, then hand over a short how-to so everyday edits take minutes, not another invoice.

How do I show up when someone asks an AI assistant where to buy?
+

AI assistants and search engines favor clear, consistent, well-organized information. We tune your site, local listings, and profiles (the SEO and AEO side) so you're the answer they find.

Can you do anything about old bad reviews?
+

We can't erase them, but we can answer them with care, build a steady stream of fresh reviews, and make sure your recent story outweighs the old one.

I don't have time for marketing. What does working together look like?
+

It starts with one conversation about the problem you're actually trying to solve. From there we run a light, done-with-you plan sized to the hours you really have.

I've been burned on price before. How do you keep it fair?
+

Clear scope and clear pricing up front, and you can start small. We connect you with local press, creators, and neighboring shops, and only scale up when it's working for you.

When a stream of customers isn't guaranteed, we can help you find other ways to scale. Let's build something useful and human, together—book your discovery call

About

Mission & Philosophy

Who You Are Working With

Evelyn Vela, Founder

I'm Evelyn, founder of Public Good Studio, a marketing studio for brick-and-mortar businesses. I spent six years as a product manager, and before that worked across technology, education, and public health. The thread through all of it is the same: I do my best work sitting across from someone, learning what problem they are actually trying to solve.

I believe neighborhood businesses are the lifeline of their communities, and that they grow faster together. So I consult with business on giving them more than one way to earn, helping them navigate seasonality, connecting each business with local press, creators who already have its customers' attention, and the shops next door to build stronger ecosystems and momentum.

I treat marketing as an act of service: be useful, be human, and be willing to try something new. I don't pitch like a salesperson. I start with your problem, and we find the right solution, even when it isn't the one you came in asking for.

Place and Screen
A shop that feels warm in person should never look dated on screen
The Root of the Problem
What people ask for and what they need are rarely the same thing
Rise Together
Momentum in one place creates buzz that lifts the neighbors around it
