Think Pittsburgh by Ian Jones

Make Your Business Look as Good Online as It Does in Real Life

Let's be honest. You are probably paying way too much for a "marketing agency" that buries you in buzzwords like "SEO" and "Google ranking," sends a rep once a month, and cannot clearly show what is actually working.

Think Pittsburgh is a creative studio that helps local businesses fix their digital first impression, get scroll-stopping photos and video, and learn a simple way to show up online. No bloated retainers, no confusing reports, no agency bullshit.

01 The Story

What is Think Pittsburgh?

It is me, Ian Jones. A Pittsburgh photographer and creative tired of watching small businesses get buried in jargon, retainers, and strategy decks that never turn into content.

A weirdly long history with marketing

I started in 6th grade when I invented Reese's Sticks.

Ask me about it sometime. Since then I have seen it all. I have sat in board rooms of million-dollar companies, watched the best and the absolute worst marketing decisions get made, and spent years marketing myself and my own projects.

I have learned a ton from trial and error and I do a lot of things on the back end that nobody ever talks about. Little details that quietly help you rank higher on Google and look more legit online. The good thing about me is that everything I do has marketing behind it. When I make content, I make it to get clicks, views, and actual attention. Not just to "have something up."

I come in, learn your business, clean up your digital footprint, and create a library of photos and videos you can actually use. Then I show you how to use it so you and your team can keep things rolling without hiring a big agency. I am local and in-person, with straightforward pricing and no long contracts. You get real content and a simple plan you can actually run yourself.

02 Simple Packages

Simple packages. No retainers. No bullshit.

Pick what you actually need right now. No long contracts, no mystery "management fees." Each package solves a specific problem and ends with content and a plan you can run yourself.

01 / Tune-Up

Digital Footprint Tune-Up

Fix the basics so people actually trust you online.

I look at how your business shows up on Google, your website, Facebook, and Instagram and tell you exactly what is helping and what is hurting.

You get a plain-language report with screenshots, "do this instead" examples, and ready-to-paste wording for your Google description, Facebook About, and Instagram bio.

Then I hop on a 60 to 90 minute call, or meet in person, and make changes together so you are not left staring at menus and settings.

02 / Content Day

Content Day: 30 Days in a Box

One shoot. A month of content ready to post.

I sit down with you to really listen. What you want, what you need, and what you want to highlight. Once I have a clear plan, I come to you with everything and knock out a half day or full day of photo and video of your shop, team, products, and process.

You walk away with a full library of edited, brand-ready photos and short vertical videos for Reels, TikTok, Stories, ads, and your website. Plenty of usable content you can pull from for weeks without feeling like you are repeating yourself.

I also give you a simple Content Map. What to post, where to post it, and caption starters, so you are not staring at a blank box every time.

Full-day from $2,200

03 / Power-Up

Profile Power-Up (Google & Social)

Make your Google and socials actually look legit.

I rewrite and clean up your Google Business Profile, Facebook About, and Instagram bio so everything matches, makes sense, and tells people why they should pick you.

Before I write anything, I dig into your business, your competitors, and the searches your customers are actually making, then work those keywords and SEO basics into your bios and About sections so they are not just pretty. They are findable.

I also swap in better photos that I take, sized and named properly so they help you instead of hurt you.

Flagship Package

The Marketing Agency Killer

Deep-dive audit, reality check, and take-your-marketing-back plan.

I go through your marketing with a fine-tooth comb. Website, SEO, image file names and alt text, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, and any blog or content you have. I check your hashtags, posting patterns, and how consistent (or not) your brand looks across everything.

I research your business, your competitors, and the searches your customers are actually making, then bake those keywords and SEO basics into new bios, About copy, and content ideas so you are easier to find and make more sense to real people.

I also dig into what your current marketing agency is actually doing. Reports, ads, targeting, cost per click and cost per lead, and what has been changed recently. You get a list of plain-English questions to ask them, plus a no-bullshit report card on if you are getting your money's worth.

What's included

Full audit of website, SEO, GBP, Facebook, Instagram, and blog
Competitor research and real customer search analysis
New bios, About copy, and content ideas built around your keywords
5 SEO-tuned blog posts ready to publish (if you have a blog)
Setup walkthrough for Facebook content scheduler and FB/IG ads
Free and low-cost tools (including AI) for better content
Plain-English questions to grill your current agency with
No-bullshit report card on if they are worth the money
90-minute handoff session with you and key staff
Written PDF of findings, plan, and what to watch going forward

No mystery, no surprises

How this actually works.

Five steps from first call to final handoff. No retainers, no surprise management fees, no signing anything you do not understand. If I cannot genuinely help, I will tell you straight.

Quick call

You show me your website, socials, and tell me what is bugging you. I tell you what actually needs done and which package (or combo) makes sense. If any.

Plan & quote

I lock in the package, rough timeline, and price. If you need to split payments, I can work with that. No retainers, no surprise "management" fees.

I do the deep work

Content Day on-site, a full digital tune-up, or the Marketing Agency Killer audit. I dig in, shoot, write, and build the stuff you actually need.

Handoff & support

I sit down with you, go through everything, and I show you how to use it. Content, profiles, basic ads, all of it. You leave with a clear plan, not a mystery folder.

Only if I can actually help

Booking a call does not automatically mean I take the job. If I cannot genuinely help you, I will turn it down or point you toward what actually makes sense for where you are at.
