Marketing for small businesses in the United States
BossRise is built for American small businesses: restaurants, barbers, contractors, clinics, detailers. I work remotely from Bangladesh, but your calls happen in your time zone, your prices are in dollars, and everything I set up is in your name.
A remote marketer, not a local office
I want to be upfront, because plenty of agencies aren't. BossRise has no office in your city. It's me, Ariful Islam, working remotely. Here's why that tends to work in your favour, and where it doesn't.
What you get
- One person who does the work and answers your messages
- Agency-quality websites and marketing at small-business prices
- Calls booked in your time zone, usually mornings or evenings US time
- A US number you can call or text: (564) 544-1175
What I can't do
- Visit your shop or film on location (I send a simple shot list instead)
- Meet in person
- Instant replies at 2am Eastern; I reply within a day
- Pretend to be "local". I won't put a fake address on your site or mine
Where US customers actually find you
American customers lean heavily on Google search, Google Maps and reviews when they choose a local business, with Facebook and Instagram close behind. That shapes the order I'd work in.
| Channel | Why it matters in the US | BossRise service |
|---|---|---|
| Google Business Profile | "Near me" searches and the map results | Setup $99, or free with a website |
| Your website | Where Google, ads and your profile send people | $397 one-time |
| Reviews on Google (and Yelp, for some industries) | Often the deciding factor between two businesses | Review kit, included with the website |
| Local SEO | Climbing the map results over time | $199/month |
| Google Ads | People searching right now, often urgently | $250/month + ad budget |
| Facebook & Instagram ads | Offers and launches shown to people nearby | $250/month + ad budget |
All prices are in US dollars. Ad budgets are paid by you directly to Google or Meta, in your own account.
Email and text marketing in the US
If we send emails or texts to your customers, two federal laws matter most. This isn't legal advice, but it's how I set things up by default.
Email: CAN-SPAM
Commercial emails need honest sender and subject lines, your physical postal address, and a working way to unsubscribe that's honored promptly. The FTC's CAN-SPAM compliance guide lays out the rules.
Texts: TCPA and carrier rules
Marketing texts need the customer's prior consent, a clear way to opt out, and your business name in the message. Business texting in the US also generally runs through registered numbers. See the FCC's telemarketing and robocalls page.
Working together across time zones
Book a call
Pick a 15-minute slot on my calendar. It shows times in your own time zone.
Free preview or audit
Small businesses get a free website preview. Bigger projects get a free audit video first.
Overnight progress
Because I'm working while you sleep, changes you send in the evening are often done by your morning.
Monthly check-ins
A plain-English report each month, and a call whenever you want one.
Your first 30 days, step by step
Most US businesses I talk to start with the same few problems: no website or an old one, a half-finished Google profile, and too few recent reviews. Here's the order I'd fix them in.
- Week 1: a free preview of your new websiteSend your business name, services and a few photos. You see a working preview before paying anything.
- Week 2: launch and connectYour domain, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile are connected, with call and booking buttons on every page.
- Week 3: start the review habitA direct review link, a QR card and short text templates, so asking takes seconds. No incentives; Google doesn't allow them.
- Week 4: decide what's nextLook at your first calls and enquiries, then choose whether local SEO, Google Ads or Facebook ads makes sense for your goals and budget.

Questions from US businesses
Do you have an office in the United States?
No. BossRise is run remotely by me, Ariful Islam, from Bangladesh. I have a US phone number for calls and texts, and calls are scheduled in your time zone.
Are your prices in US dollars?
Yes. Every price on the site is in USD, and your ad budgets are paid directly to Google or Meta in your own account.
Can you help my business show up in my city on Google?
Yes. That's mostly your Google Business Profile, reviews and local SEO. Your ranking depends on your real address or service area, so I optimize for the area you genuinely serve.
How do we stay in touch?
By phone or text at (564) 544-1175, email, WhatsApp, or a booked video call. I reply within a day.
Do I own everything you set up?
Yes. Your domain, website, Google profile and ad accounts are all in your name. If we stop working together, you keep everything.
