Our top 3 highest-performing videos
We're students researching how social media affects small business growth. Alongside our research, we give local businesses like yours a full social media guide — completely free, no strings attached.
How it works
Here's every step from start to finish — before you agree to anything.
We introduce ourselves as students running a research project. We walk you through what we're doing, why we're doing it, and answer any questions you have.
We look at your profiles, recent posts, and how your audience is engaging with your content. This part is completely free and entirely up to you.
Based on what we find, we send you our full online guide with suggestions tailored to your content — including what to post, when to post, and how to grow your audience.
If you're comfortable with it, we analyze the improvement you saw from using social media. This is optional and never shared publicly with your business name attached.
The free guide
This is the free social media guide every local business receives — full of strategies, tips, and platform-specific advice to grow your online presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and more.
About us
We're high school students working on an independent research project. There is no organization or company funding or backing us. We got interested in whether social media actually builds connection between businesses and customers — so we decided to find out properly.
"We want to understand how social media affects local businesses, and help those businesses see the improvements it can bring."
Our findings may end up in a school presentation or research paper. We're happy to share our credentials and answer any questions to prove we're legitimate. We'd rather you feel fully confident about who you're talking to than just take our word for it.
We're doing this for academic purposes. Our work may be shared in a classroom or written up as a research paper. We get informed consent before using any data.
No agency, no sponsor, no organization. We're two students doing this independently. Nobody is paying us and nobody benefits from your information.
Anything we collect is anonymized before it goes into our research. We won't share your business details with anyone. If you want your data removed later, just ask.
No follow-up fee, no subscription, nothing. The guide and recommendations cost you nothing. If you want to verify who we are before agreeing to anything, we encourage it.
