Marquette
Marquette is the largest city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the seat of Marquette County, a Lake Superior harbor city built on iron-ore shipping and anchored today by Northern Michigan University, the UP Health System regional medical center, Presque Isle Park, and a four-season outdoor-recreation economy from Marquette Mountain to the Superior shoreline. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Marquette's downtown shops, restaurants, outfitters, healthcare and professional offices, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Marquette, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being in the UP is no obstacle: most of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Marquette client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in the Upper Peninsula make remote support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Marquette business gets the same fast response and hands-on attention as one down in Lower Michigan, without waiting on someone to drive up.
What would you build for a Marquette shop, outfitter, or professional office?
Usually a booking, customer, ordering, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Marquette business works from one system instead of spreadsheets and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Marquette business?
In intake, booking, customer email, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Marquette business gets real leverage around the NMU calendar and the tourist seasons without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Marquette business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Marquette business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Marquette 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 Marquette business.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Typically 15–60 minutes during business hours and under an hour after-hours for critical issues, handled remotely with direct access for urgent problems instead of a ticket queue.
Can you help a Marquette business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Marquette, its Lake Superior harbor, NMU, and outdoor-recreation draw, so the customers and visitors searching nearby find you first.
