Small Business Pain, Simple Exit

Small Business Pain, Simple Exit

4:53 p.m. — the Algorithm

A café owner in Orlando refreshes a Facebook dashboard: 2,134 “impressions,” 11 clicks. $47 gone. The table by the window is still empty.

Meet the villain: the Algorithm. Its rules shift hourly. Its moods decide whether an ad appears. Small businesses pay a daily Algorithm Tax and guess again tomorrow.

The Hidden Cost of Standing Still

  • Day 1 off the highway: 3 breakfasts never ordered.
  • Week 1: 6 oil changes never booked; 12 salon chairs spinning empty.
  • 30 days: Hundreds of drives — none past the brand.

Highway visibility compounds; missed impressions today become missed sales on next week's payroll.

Simple, Transparent, Local

From $99/day. For decades, only six-figure brands owned this kind of visibility. Today, a café in Tampa can claim a stretch of road without learning a new ad platform.

  • Enter a ZIP, see boards, confirm.
  • In ~48 hours, commuters on I-95, the Turnpike, and key corridors around Orlando, Tampa, and Miami see the message — consistently.

SMB Voices Across Florida

“Thought the ‘included design’ would look like clip-art. It didn’t. A stylist said, ‘This actually looks classy.’ Calls started the same week.”

Salon • Miami

“We tried 30 days first. The report was plain English — just the numbers we needed. No guessing.”

Auto Repair • Orlando

“No big team here. They handled design and swaps fast. A customer said, ‘Saw your sign right before the exit.’”

Café • Tampa

Risk-Free First Step

  • No 2 a.m. Photoshop: professional creative included — stress removed.
  • Short 30-day start: test a single location without long contracts.
  • Upgrade anytime: move to premium boards when the season or budget calls for it.

Florida SMB Snapshots

Café near Orlando

Swapped sporadic boosts for one 30-day board focused on the morning commute. Breakfast traffic rose as regulars recognized the sign on their route.

Salon in Miami

Coupon fatigue, low redemptions. A month on I-95 put the name in front of weekday drivers. By week two, callers referenced “the sign on the highway.”

Auto Repair in Tampa

Peak tourist flow. A board just before the exit captured out-of-state drop-ins who saw the billboard before opening a maps app.

“Do Billboards Still Work?”

Algorithms change weekly. Highways don’t. Drivers glance up at the same light and the same on-ramp — every day.

  • Guaranteed visibility — fixed, real-world impressions rather than volatile feeds.
  • Fixed rates from $99/day — no hidden bidding games.
  • Friday one-pager — know if the ad earned its keep before Monday's payroll.
  • Fast creative swaps — edits measured in days, not months.
  • Short campaigns — start with 30 days and scale with data.

3 Steps to Launch

  1. Enter a ZIP — see boards on the exact roads customers drive.
  2. Approve the free design — no templates to wrestle, just a proof to sign off.
  3. Go live in ~48 hours — message up while the week is still in motion.
