Blacklick
Blacklick is a growing residential community on the eastern edge of Franklin County between Columbus and Reynoldsburg, a suburban area of neighborhoods, shopping, and a base of shops, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Blacklick area's shops, contractors, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Where does AI help a Blacklick operator?
In intake, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up, so a Blacklick business gets real leverage without adding headcount.

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

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.
