Petoskey
Petoskey is the seat of Emmet County, an affluent Victorian resort city on Little Traverse Bay at the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula — known for Petoskey stones, the walkable Gaslight District of boutiques and galleries, the historic Bay View cottage community, an Ernest Hemingway summer heritage, nearby skiing, and the McLaren Northern Michigan healthcare hub, drawing visitors year-round. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Petoskey's restaurants, boutiques, lodging, galleries, healthcare and professional firms, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

What would you build for a Petoskey restaurant, boutique, or lodging?
Usually a reservation, booking, e-commerce, ordering, or point-of-sale platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Petoskey business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build an online store for a Petoskey boutique or gallery?
Yes — we build e-commerce and order platforms for boutiques and galleries, so a Petoskey shop can sell online and in-store and ship to visitors from one system.
Can you build a platform for a healthcare practice or professional firm?
Yes — we build client-portal, intake, and scheduling platforms for healthcare practices and professional firms, so a Petoskey operation serves its patients or clients from one system.
Where does AI help a Petoskey operator?
In reservation and guest email, booking, ordering, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Petoskey business gets real leverage and handles the year-round resort swings without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Petoskey business taking payments?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Petoskey business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost a Petoskey business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Petoskey operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Petoskey business.

Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Petoskey, its Gaslight District and bayfront and the visitors they draw, so the customers and guests searching nearby find your door first.
