You get a written plan and a fixed price before we build anything.
Most bad agency experiences come from the same place: nobody agreed what was being built, for how much, by when. So we settle all three in writing first, and you keep that document whether or not you hire us.
- 01
Discovery call
30 minutes, freeWe ask what you sell, who buys it, what a customer is worth to you, and what has failed before. No pitch deck. If we are not the right fit we will say so on the call.
- What you sell and who actually buys it
- What a single new customer is worth to you
- What you have tried before and why it stopped
- Whether we are the right fit — sometimes we are not
- 02
Audit & plan
Week 1We tear down your current site, Google Business Profile and competitors, then hand you a written plan with scope, timeline and a fixed price. You own that document whether or not you hire us.
- Full technical teardown of your current site
- Google Business Profile and citation review
- Three-competitor gap analysis
- Written scope, timeline and fixed price
- 03
Design & build
Weeks 2–4You see real work in the browser, not mockups in a PDF. We review together at set checkpoints so nothing gets built for three weeks in the wrong direction.
- Design reviewed in the browser, not in a PDF
- Checkpoint calls so nothing drifts for weeks
- Content and photo direction if you need it
- Staging link you can share with your team
- 04
Launch
Launch weekRedirects mapped, analytics verified, schema validated, forms tested end to end, speed benchmarked. We do not launch on a Friday afternoon.
- 301 redirects mapped from every old URL
- Analytics and conversion tracking verified live
- Schema markup validated
- Forms and phone links tested end to end
- 05
Rank & grow
OngoingSEO, content and ads compound from here. You get a monthly report with rankings, leads and cost per lead — and a human on the phone who can explain it.
- Monthly rank tracking and Search Console review
- Content and citation building
- Ad campaign management and creative refreshes
- A call with a person who can explain the numbers
What working together actually looks like.
Access to your domain registrar and current hosting, your Google Business Profile, and whatever photos and copy you already have. If you have none of that, we will handle setup and give you content direction — it just adds a little time.
Realistically, two to four hours total across the project: the discovery call, one or two review checkpoints, and a final approval. We do not send twenty-question surveys.
You see direction early and review in the browser, specifically so we catch that in week two rather than week five. Revisions at the review checkpoints are included; a complete change of direction after approval is a scope conversation, and we will say so before doing the work rather than after.
Hosting, security updates and small content edits are covered under a light care plan. SEO and marketing are separate ongoing engagements, month to month. If you just want the site and nothing else, that is a perfectly fine place to stop.
Fixed price for builds, quoted in writing after the audit. Retainers for ongoing SEO and marketing. We do not send surprise hourly invoices.
Step one is a 30-minute call. That is the whole commitment.
Tell us your city and what you do. We will run a free audit on your site, your Google Business Profile and your top three local competitors — and send you the findings whether or not you hire us.
