Made In Houston · Student-Run · 100% Free

Good businesses shouldn't stay invisible just because nobody ever set up their Google listing.

Masterplansocial, a student-led project, helps Houston's small businesses get found online. With our personalized tips and guides, we can help reduce substantial time from marketing so you can spend your time running the business instead of figuring out social media on a lunch break, completely for free!

What We're About

A free push to get Houston's small businesses online.

We started this because some of the best businesses in Houston are also some of the hardest to find on Google, on Instagram, or even on a basic map search. That's a real gap, and it's one we figured out we could actually do something about!

01

Always Free

No fees nor any sort of charge. Every recommendation, hour we put in, and help we achieve costs nothing no matter when!

02

Localized in Houston

We grew up around small businesses like the ones we work with. This project exists because that culture deserves to be found online!

03

Zero Pressure

You pick what you actually want help with. You're free to say no whenever, especially when opting out of our research data!

Who We Help

No matter your business, we will help!

We work with the kind of Houston businesses that want to push for their cultural success and journey. A few examples:

Family-Owned Restaurants & Taquerias

A major example of most businesses that are always overlooked, deserving recognition!

Boutiques & Corner Shops

Shops selling common utilities to people. With social media, we can emerge these shops to those nearby!

Salons & Barbershops

Where creative talent lies within. A few posts could launch success and light to these businesses!

Food Trucks & Pop-Ups

A significant business relying on updates. Social media lets customers loving the place know where they went!

Repair Shops & Trades

Mechanics work hard, fixing cars, and should be promoted for their help!

Any Businesses That Feel Overlooked

Other business we can also give personalized tips to showcase their products online and gain attraction!

From Downtown and all directions of Houston, there's an abundant amount of business. Our goal is simple: make sure a search, a scroll, or a pin on a map can actually lead someone to your door as everyone deserves recognition!

Frequently asked questions

These are the questions Houston business owners ask us most before they say yes. Don't see yours here? Reach out from the About page and we'll answer it directly.

No catch. We're a student project, not an agency, so there's nothing to upsell you into later. Everything we do for your business is completely free forever.
No. The research side is a separate, optional piece that sits outside our support for your business! Say no to it and you still get full help with your social media and online presence without any rejections.
Yes, actually that's one of the more common starting points we see. We'd rather set your accounts up right from day one than clean up a mess later.
It depends on the business, but mostly comes from developing their social media, estimated around 1 month if collecting data about your customer-base increase.
