Website Builds

A website that earns its keep.

Your website is where local search sends people and where customers decide you're legitimate. We build fast, clean, SEO-ready sites for local service businesses, priced plainly, delivered on schedule.

A local business website has two jobs. Convince search engines you deserve to rank, and convince the human who lands there to call you instead of hitting the back button. Most local business sites fail at both: slow, thin, built from a generic template with no schema, no structure, and no thought about what a searcher actually needs.

We build sites that do both jobs from day one. Every build ships with the local SEO fundamentals that most web designers skip, because we're an SEO shop that builds websites, not a design shop that mentions SEO.

What's always included

Whatever the tier, some things are non-negotiable in our builds, because skipping them is how websites end up invisible:

  • Speed. Lightweight builds, optimized images, no plugin bloat. Slow sites lose rankings and customers, in that order.
  • Schema markup. LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and breadcrumb structured data, validated before launch.
  • On-page SEO. Unique titles and meta descriptions, one H1 per page, logical heading structure, keyword-mapped pages, internal linking.
  • AI search readiness. FAQ sections that answer real questions, direct answers up top, llms.txt at the root, and content structured so AI engines can cite it.
  • NAP consistency. Your name, address, and phone match your Google Business Profile exactly, everywhere they appear.
  • Measurement. Analytics and Search Console configured from day one, so results are visible, not vibes.

The Care Plan: $97/month

Websites need upkeep: hosting, backups, software updates, security. The Care Plan covers all of it. Managed hosting, daily backups with 30-day retention, updates tested before they deploy, security monitoring, SSL management, a monthly performance check, and up to 30 minutes of minor content updates each month. Priority support with 24-48 hour response. Optional, cancel anytime, and it makes your website something you never think about again.

Website plus local SEO is the real play

A great website with no visibility is a brochure in a drawer. Visibility pointing at a bad website burns the leads it wins. Most of our website clients pair the build with a local SEO retainer or at minimum business profile management, and the combination is where the numbers get fun. Not required. Just what works.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a local business website cost?
Three tiers: the 5-page Starter Site at $1,997, the expanded Authority Site at $4,497, and fully custom builds from $9,997. Every tier ships SEO-ready with schema, fast load times, and AI search optimization included. The optional Care Plan is $97/month. All pricing is also on the pricing page.
How long does a build take?
Starter Sites deliver in about two weeks from kickoff, assuming content and access arrive on time. Authority Sites typically run four to six weeks. Custom builds get a timeline in the proposal, and we hit our dates.
Do I own my website?
Completely. Domain, files, content, all of it. If you're on the Care Plan we handle hosting, but you can take the site anywhere at any time. We don't hold websites hostage, and we're a little disgusted by companies that do.
Who writes the content?
Either works. Supply your own and we'll edit and structure it for search. Don't have content? We draft it from an onboarding questionnaire, with your review on everything. Copywriting from scratch is included in Authority builds and available as a per-page add-on at the Starter tier.
Is SEO included, or is that separate?
The build includes on-site SEO fundamentals: structure, speed, schema, optimized titles and headings, analytics setup, and AI search optimization. Ongoing SEO (content production, citations, links, profile management) is a separate monthly service. The build gets you a rankable site; the retainer is what actively moves rankings month after month.
What is the Care Plan?
$97/month for everything that keeps a site healthy: managed hosting, daily backups with 30-day retention, tested software updates, security monitoring, SSL management, a monthly performance check, and up to 30 minutes of minor content edits. Optional, month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Can you fix my existing site instead of rebuilding?
Sometimes that's the right call, and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in. Sound foundation? A targeted optimization project costs less than a rebuild. Slow, dated, or fighting you at every turn? A fresh Starter Site is usually cheaper than renovating a bad build.
How does payment work?
Half up front to book the build, half at launch. Care Plan billing starts the month after launch if you opt in. Anything beyond the agreed scope gets quoted and approved before we build it. No surprise line items.

Let's figure out which build fits.

Tell us about your business and your current site, if you have one. We'll recommend a tier, or tell you a rebuild isn't what you need. Straight answers either way.
