Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

End-to-end brand digital launch for a small-batch craft food brand: creative, web, marketing infrastructure, and paid social.

BRAND & CREATIVE ASSETS

RCD's St. Louis team restored and productionized the client's raw logo files into a full web-ready asset system — transparent logo variants for light and darkplacements, a complete favicon suite (multi-resolution plus Apple touch icon), and a social share / Open Graph card. They performed image restoration on hero and product photography, removing watermarks and baked-in artifacts, and produced a branded social graphics set (Facebook cover banner, launch announcement poster, and campaign post creative) in the brand's color system.

WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

The team designed and built a custom, fully responsive multi-page website (Home,

Shop, About, Recipes, Contact, and FAQ, plus Privacy Policy and Terms of Service),

optimized down to mobile breakpoints. Performance work included conversion to

next-gen image formats, lazy-loading, and explicit media sizing to eliminate layout

shift, along with compressed video delivery for the brand story section.

COPYWRITING & CONTENT

RCD produced original brand copy throughout — a brand-story About page, product positioning and descriptions, recipe content, and a customer FAQ. They also drafted the site's legal pages, including preorder-specific terms appropriate to the client's small-batch, limited-drop model.

DOMAIN, HOSTING & INFRASTRUCTURE

The team handled the full technical launch: custom domain connection with automated DNS configuration, SSL, and production deployment. They cleaned up legacy metadata from the domain's prior website and resolved social link-preview caching so the brand presented correctly across platforms.

SEO & DISCOVERABILITY

RCD implemented per-page title and meta-description optimization, structured data

(FAQ schema for rich results and LocalBusiness / organization markup), and

generative-engine-friendly FAQ content designed to surface the brand's

differentiators in both search and AI-assisted discovery.

EMAIL CAPTURE & LIST BUILDING

The team built the brand's core conversion mechanism: a batch-list email capture

wired across product cards, bundles, and site navigation, with form handling,

validation, and real success/error states. They specified the migration path to a

full email marketing platform, including a branded welcome automation and audience

merge fields for segmentation (product interest, quantity, and subscriber name).

CONVERSION TRACKING & ANALYTICS

RCD installed and verified Meta Pixel tracking, including a custom Lead conversion

event firing on successful signup, and confirmed event delivery end to end — giving

the brand measurable performance data and the foundation for retargeting and

lookalike audiences.

FACEBOOK / META ADS

RCD set up and configured the brand's paid social on Meta. Scope included:

- Facebook Business Page optimization — branded cover, profile, and bio positioning.

- Ad creative production — launch announcement and lifestyle/brand-story creative

  sized for feed, Stories, and Reels placements.

- Boosted-post and ad campaign configuration — audience targeting, budget and

  schedule setup, placement selection, and Call-to-Action optimization aligned to the

  brand's list-building goal.

- Conversion tracking integration — Meta Pixel tied to the ad account so campaigns

  optimize toward and report on real signups, not just clicks.

- Performance monitoring via the brand's professional dashboard and Events Manager.

RESULT

A fully launched, self-contained brand presence: a live, fast, mobile-optimized

website on the client's own domain; a complete branded asset library; an active

email-capture funnel; conversion tracking; and a configured social and paid-media

program — positioned to convert audience interest into batch-drop demand.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

END TO END — One partner for brand, web, copy, SEO, email, conversion tracking, and paid social. They did not stitch vendors together; everything's built to work as one system.

BUILT TO CONVERT — Not just a pretty site. Real tracking, structured data, and analytics tied to ad spend, so every piece is measured against actual results.

THINKS LIKE AN OWNER — RCD pressure-tests the business behind the brand — margins, pricing, positioning — so clients walk away with a launch and a sharper company.

Are there any areas for improvement or something River City Digital Co. could have done differently?

No
