Shepherd

Shepherd is a rural community northeast of Billings in Yellowstone County, Montana, a mix of dryland and irrigated farms, ranches, and country acreages that has grown as a bedroom area for people working in Billings but wanting room and a small-school community. Its life runs on agriculture, the families on the surrounding land, and the local school and businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Shepherd's farms, ranches, and local 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 Shepherd, Montana?

Yes. Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a rural community northeast of Billings is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Shepherd client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.

Can you help a Shepherd farm or ranch?

Yes. A dryland or irrigated farm, or a cattle ranch near Shepherd, is exactly who we build production, herd, irrigation-scheduling, recordkeeping, and logistics tools for, around how the season and the operation actually run.

Can you help a Shepherd trades or service business serving the Billings area?

Yes. A trades or service business based in Shepherd but working the Billings metro, construction, HVAC, electrical, excavation, is exactly who we build scheduling, dispatch, job-tracking, and invoicing tools for, built around how the crew works in the field.

Can you help a Shepherd ag-service or equipment business?

Where does AI help a Shepherd business?

In intake, scheduling, dispatch, recordkeeping, customer email, and follow-up, so a Shepherd farm, ranch, or service business gets real leverage without adding headcount.

Can you help a Shepherd business reach the Billings market?

Yes. We tune local SEO, content, and customer tools so a Shepherd business reaches both its local base and the wider Billings metro market nearby.

What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Shepherd business?

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling. We set it up and manage it for you.

What does a custom platform cost a Shepherd business?

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Shepherd operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.

How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?

Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and data outright, no lock-in.

Can you help a Shepherd business get found online?

Yes. Local SEO and content tuned for Shepherd and the wider Billings-area market, so the customers searching find you first.
