FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tell Your Story Launches Springboard Small Business Marketing Services
New offering combines human expertise and AI to help smaller brands gain authority and improve visibility in search and AI platforms
Wilmette, IL – Feb 10, 2026 – Tell Your Story today announced the launch of Springboard, a right-size marketing package designed for small businesses that have outgrown DIY marketing but are not ready for the cost of a traditional full-service agency. Springboard delivers consistent and strategic, high-performing marketing support that helps brands build authority, improve rankings, and stay visible in an increasingly AI-driven search landscape.
Designed for growing organizations with limited internal resources, Springboard blends Tell Your Story’s marketing expertise with AI-powered efficiency to deliver results that align with smaller budgets.
“We want to serve more small businesses- they deserve marketing that works as hard as they do,” said George Rafeedie, Founder of Tell Your Story. “In this AI-driven world, we created Springboard to leverage the tools that are out there, but more importantly, tohelp small businesses gain authority and ranking on the AI platforms that people are using.”
Unlike generic AI platforms that require businesses to manage strategy, execution, and performance on their own, Springboard is led by Tell Your Story’s strategists and digital analysts. The team handles planning, optimization, and ongoing execution while using AI to improve speed, insights and efficiency.
Springboard key benefits include:
- Strategic marketing support from seasoned professionals
- A consistent digital presence that reaches the right audience
- Ongoing optimization across SEO, AI search, and social algorithms
- Improved visibility and rankings in ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI platforms
- Top-tier marketing performance aligned with budget realities
The Springboard base package includes monthly:
- Website maintenance
- SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO),
- Targeted Google and social advertising
- Blog content creation
- Social media content
- Video creation and distribution
- Data mining and customer analytics
- Email marketing
To support the launch, Tell Your Story is offering a complimentary Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization assessment. As more people turn to AI tools for search and recommendations, this audit shows businesses how well their brand is cited and recommended by AI platforms and where improvements are needed.
“Search behavior is changing fast,” Rafeedie added. “If AI cannot find you or recommend you, your customers can’t either. This free assessment gives small businesses clarity and a clear starting point.”
Tell Your Story Springboard is now available to small businesses nationwide.
