Is Sun Coast Digital the same as Sun Coast Media Group?

No. Sun Coast Digital Media LLC is a digital marketing agency founded in 2026 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sun Coast Media Group is a newspaper publisher based in Punta Gorda, Florida. They are unrelated companies with no shared ownership.

02 Question 02

What does Sun Coast Digital do?

Sun Coast Digital’s main product is a monthly lead list: a spreadsheet of South Florida businesses that match who a client sells to, each with a business name, street address, published phone number and Google rating, compiled from public listings and records, with the first list delivered within 48 hours of signup and priced from $1,000 a month. It also builds custom websites, runs social media management across up to six platforms, and produces Airbnb and property walkthrough video. Generative Engine Optimization, local SEO and managed paid advertising are included in that work rather than sold separately.

The work is organised as three things done properly rather than a menu of deliverables. A one-time Foundation build gives a business a website it owns outright. A monthly Growth subscription runs the website, the social, the ongoing Generative Engine Optimization and a managed ad budget as a single system under one flat price. Property video is a flat $500 per video with no subscription.

Sun Coast Digital does not sell anything it has not run inside its own business first. The AI visibility tooling operates on Sun Coast’s own accounts before it is used for a client.

What is in a lead list?

One row per business: name, street address, published phone number and current Google rating. Rows without a phone number are dropped, duplicates are removed, and the target vertical and area are set at signup and changed any time by email. Data comes from public business listings and Florida public records; no personal emails, mobile numbers or home addresses are collected.

What is Generative Engine Optimization?

Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO, is the practice of getting a business named inside AI-generated answers. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews, rather than only in traditional search results.

Does Sun Coast Digital build websites, or only run marketing?

Both. Foundation builds are one-time custom website projects the client owns outright, starting at $500. Growth subscriptions include the website as part of the monthly plan.

What is the Airbnb walkthrough video?

A polished, room-by-room walkthrough video for an Airbnb or rental listing, every room covered from the exterior to the closing shot, delivered silent in two to three business days so the host can add their own music or voiceover. $500 per video, no subscription and no contract.

03 Question 03

Where is Sun Coast Digital located?

Sun Coast Digital is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is a service-area business with no public street address, serving Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.

The three counties are Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, covering Parkland, Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Pompano Beach, Palm Beach, Miami and Bal Harbour.

Work outside those three counties is considered case by case. Sun Coast Digital would rather say plainly that it has no office in a city than claim a presence it does not have.

Does Sun Coast Digital have an office I can visit?

No. Sun Coast Digital is a service-area business and does not publish a street address. Consultations happen by phone or video, and on-site visits are arranged directly.

Which counties does Sun Coast Digital serve?

Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties in South Florida.

04 Question 04

Who is Sun Coast Digital for?

Sun Coast Digital works with owner-run small businesses in South Florida, trades and home services, medical and dental practices, restaurants and hospitality, professional services, salons and studios, marine and speciality retail.

The common thread is an owner who is close to the business and does not have, or want, a five-figure monthly retainer. The published pricing exists so that a small business can see the number before making contact.

Sun Coast Digital does not work with two direct competitors in the same category in the same city. In a crowded local market that would mean working against an existing client.

Is there a minimum business size?

No. Some clients are single-operator businesses. If a monthly subscription is not the right fit, a one-time Foundation build with no ongoing commitment is a normal outcome.

Do you work with businesses outside South Florida?

Occasionally, case by case. The published service area is three South Florida counties, and the local-search advantage Sun Coast offers is strongest inside it.

05 Question 05

How much does Sun Coast Digital cost?

Sun Coast Digital publishes its prices. One-time Foundation website builds run $500 to $1,500. Monthly Growth subscriptions run $600 to $1,500 and include the website, social, ongoing GEO and a managed ad budget in one flat price. Airbnb and property walkthrough video is $500 per video with no subscription.

Foundation Starter is $500 one-time, Foundation Pro $750, Foundation Premium $1,500. Optional hosting and care runs $75 to $150 a month depending on tier.

Growth Starter is $600 a month, Growth Pro $1,000, Growth Elite $1,500. Growth subscriptions are month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time. Annual contracts are optional and save 10% on Pro or 15% on Elite.

Property video is $500 per video, billed per video rather than monthly. The exact figure for any engagement is scoped in the free call and does not change after signing.

Sun Coast Digital does not bill hourly and does not invoice separately for advertising. A managed ad budget is inside the Growth price.

Is the ad budget really included?

Yes. Every Growth plan includes a managed ad budget inside the flat monthly price, across Meta, TikTok and Google. There is never a separate advertising invoice.

Who owns the website?

The client does. It is a custom build, not a rented template, theirs to keep.

Is there a long contract?

No. Growth subscriptions are month-to-month and can be cancelled any time. Foundation builds are a one-time purchase, with payment plans available.
