A team you can send your clients to for marketing and IT.
You already look after your clients’ books, website, insurance, or day-to-day advice. When they need help with social media, their Google listing, email, cloud, or security, it helps to have one small team you trust.
Blue Heron Digital Services plans, creates, and manages social media and Google presence, and keeps the technology behind a business running. Serving nationwide.
Who this is for
This page is for people who already advise small businesses and want a straightforward place to send them for marketing or IT:
- Accountants and bookkeepers
- Web designers and other creative specialists (we do not build new websites; we can care for a site a client already has)
- Insurance agents
- Consultants who do not also run a managed IT practice
- Other advisors who work closely with owners
If that sounds like you, we’d like to hear how you work with your clients.
What Blue Heron does
Marketing and technology, under one roof. Anna Wood leads social media strategy, content, Google Business Profiles, and brand photography. Scott Wood leads IT consulting, cloud, and cybersecurity. Starting prices are published, and every paid plan is quoted in writing before work begins. Your client stays the owner of their accounts, content, and photos.
Social and Google
- Social media planning, content, and community management on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google, with a clear report every month. Plans start at $650 a month. A one-time onboarding of $500 covers account cleanup, a brand kit, and the first content calendar.
- Google Business Profile setup and a simple monthly routine for posts and reviews. This is independent help, not a Google service. Search placement and review volume are not guaranteed.
- Brand photography and a half-day social media training workshop, when a client wants a one-time project instead of a monthly plan.
Website care
If a client already has a website, a care plan keeps it updated, backed up, and secure. We do not build new websites.
IT and cloud
- Practical help with email, files, sign-in security, Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. We are not affiliated with those companies.
- Security and readiness help, including things like SOC 2 readiness, an incident response plan, or an AI use policy. Figures are estimates. Readiness help is not an audit, a certification, or legal advice.
- Cloud cost reviews for Azure or AWS. A free Cloud Bill Check is available for bills of $5,000 a month or more. An optional FinOps retainer is $1,500 to $2,500 a month, depending on cloud spend.
- Help planning and building an iPhone or iPad app. The app is published under the client’s own Apple Developer account, and the client pays Apple’s developer fee directly. That fee is not part of Blue Heron’s price. We are not affiliated with Apple.
A combined monthly plan
The Small Office Bundle is $349 a month. It adds a monthly IT check-in and website Care Plus to a social plan, so the client has marketing, site care, and IT from the same team.
One-time projects have a $500 minimum.
Current starting prices live on the Packages page. A written quote always comes before paid work.
Free tools you can share
Your client can start with a free check, with no sign-up wall. Reports come back in minutes. Scores and figures are estimates, not guarantees.
The main starting points are on scan.blueheronds.com:
- Business Score: one free score for marketing and IT, in one place.
- Marketing Checkup: a free report on the website, email, social, Google profile, reviews, and related checks. A client can optionally compare against up to two competitors.
- IT and Cloud Checkup: a free report on email security, licenses, sign-in security, cloud security, cloud cost, backup readiness, and more, plus an IT plan estimate. SOC 2 in that report is readiness only, not an audit.
- Cloud Bill Check: upload an Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud cost file, or connect Azure or AWS read-only. No passwords and no access keys.
There are also shorter single checks, including email health, a website grader, a Google Business Profile check, a review link and QR card, a Microsoft 365 license check, and a sign-in security check. All of them are listed on the tools site.
Partners are welcome to send a client one of those links, or to sit with them while they run a check.
How a referral works
- You introduce us. Send a short email, join a three-way call, hand them the one-page sheet, or ask them to book a time and mention your name.
- They start free. A checkup, a Cloud Bill Check, or a short conversation. There is no obligation to buy anything.
- If they want help, they get a written plan and a fixed price before any paid work begins. We will not surprise your client, and we will not undersell the work you already do for them.
- You stay in the loop the way you and your client prefer. Some partners want a quick note after the first conversation. Others prefer to step back.
- We send you a $100 thank-you after the referred client’s first invoice is paid in full. It is one thank-you per new client. It does not apply if you refer yourself, or if the client is already working with us.
We will not ask your client to leave you, and we will not offer them work that competes with what you already provide.
About the $100 thank-you. A free check or an unpaid quote does not earn it. This is not a guarantee of income, and we may change these terms going forward. A thank-you already earned, for an invoice already paid in full, will still be paid.
Referral terms
When you introduce a new client to Blue Heron Digital Services and they become a paying customer, we send you a one-time $100 thank-you.
When it is paid
- The $100 is paid after the referred client’s first invoice is paid in full.
- There is one thank-you per new client, even if that client later buys more work or starts a monthly plan.
- A free check, a conversation, or an unpaid quote does not earn a thank-you.
What counts
- You need to make a clear introduction: an email, a shared call, the handout, or the client names you when they get in touch.
- If two people claim the same client, the first documented introduction counts.
- There is no thank-you for referring yourself, or for a client who is already working with Blue Heron.
Other notes
- This is a thank-you for a successful introduction. It is not a guarantee of income, and it is not a promise that any given introduction will turn into paid work.
- Blue Heron may change these terms going forward. A thank-you already earned under the terms in place at the time, for an invoice already paid in full, will still be paid.
- Partners should not quote Blue Heron’s prices, offer discounts, or speak as if they work for Blue Heron.
- Questions: support@blueheronds.com or (863) 279-0817. Serving nationwide.
