For twenty years, reaching Central Minnesota meant renting an audience from a national media conglomerate — their airwaves, their rates, their queue. The Exchange is the other way around: local businesses pooling one growth engine — websites, Google, social, ads — and sending customers to each other. Nobody rents you an audience here. You join one.
One local partner, many specialties
Instead of juggling five different vendors, you get everything your business needs to grow under one roof — and one local person who actually knows you.
AI-powered, so you pay less
We use modern AI tools to do more in less time, and pass the savings straight to you. Big-agency results without the big-agency invoice.
No lock-in, no runaround
Straightforward pricing and month-to-month flexibility. Stay because it's working, not because you're stuck in a contract.
Fast turnaround
Small and nimble means your edits, posts, and campaigns go live in days — not weeks in a queue behind a hundred other accounts.
How you get listed
Both paths are one path: the website is the foundation, the seat comes with the work.
We build your foundation
A fast, modern website that makes your business look as good as it is — designed, hosted, and maintained by us.
We run your growth
Pick the services you need — social, SEO, ads — and we run them month to month. AI-powered, locally priced.
You're on the board
Your business goes live on the Exchange: a public listing, your industry's founding seat, and cross-traffic from every other member.
The founding terms
What the founding class gets.
Founding badge, permanent
Your listing carries the Founding Member mark for as long as the Exchange exists.
Founding rate, locked
The rate you join at is the rate you keep, as long as you stay. Month to month, no contract.
First claim on your seat
One founding seat per industry. The first plumber listed is the plumber on the board.
A say in what gets built
Founding members are who we ask first when the Exchange adds its next specialty.
Straight answers
How many businesses are on the Exchange right now?+
The roster starts at zero — plus our own. Every founding seat is open, which is exactly why the founding terms are this good. No fake logos, no padded counts: when a business appears here, it's real, it's local, and it's tagged honestly (including the one we own).
Do I have to be listed to hire you?+
No. Want just a website, or only social media? Use any service standalone — the seat is there when you want it.
What does a listing cost?+
The board itself costs nothing — listings come with the work. You pay for the website or marketing we run for you; your seat on the Exchange comes with it.
Is this a stock exchange?+
No — nothing financial. The Exchange lists local businesses, not securities. The name is the idea: one public place where Central Minnesota businesses get found, by industry.
Can I use just one service, or do I have to bundle?+
Pick only what you need. Want just a website, or only social media? Done. The hub is there so you can add more when you're ready — not so we can upsell you.
How are you cheaper than the big agencies?+
We're lean and local, and we lean on modern AI tools to do more in less time. Lower overhead and faster work mean lower prices for you — without cutting quality.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
No. We work month-to-month. You stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.
Do you only work with St. Cloud businesses?+
We focus on St. Cloud and Central Minnesota, but we're happy to help any local business that wants a responsive, hands-on partner.
