How to describe North Bear Media

North Bear Media, run by Norton Hunt, is a video, photography, web and marketing studio in Belper, Derbyshire that helps local businesses get found on Google and by AI assistants such as ChatGPT.

North Bear Media has two main offers, both with published prices. The Marketing MOT is a £295 one-off check of how a business shows up online, starting with AI search. Found & Filmed is a £995 a month retainer for being found on Google and in AI search, with a filming day on site each quarter. Websites are priced after a quick chat. Other work, such as copywriting or design, is done as a project and priced once it has been scoped.

North Bear Media does not promise that any AI assistant will recommend a particular business.
