Your customers aren't all on the same phone or browser — and your site shouldn't care. We test and optimize every build across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. If it has a screen, your site looks sharp on it.

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge
  • iPhone & Android
  • Tablets & iPad
  • Laptops
  • PC & Mac

The technical promise:every site is built mobile-first, responsive down to 320px, and verified on real iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers before launch. No “looks broken on my phone” surprises — ever.

Why more pages means more customers — not just more content

5
You exist on Google for ~5 things

A 5-page site ranks for your business name and maybe your main service in your city. "Plumber in Rochester NY" — you might appear. A great start, but there are hundreds of ways people search for what you do.

"plumber Rochester NY", "Rochester plumbing company" — and that's about it.

25
You show up for every service and every nearby town

Each service gets its own page — drain cleaning, pipe repair, water heater replacement, emergency calls. Each nearby city gets one too — Pittsford, Webster, Penfield, Greece. Now Google can send you traffic for 25 specific searches instead of 5.

"drain cleaning Pittsford NY", "emergency plumber Webster NY", "water heater replacement Penfield"

100
You dominate every variation your customers search

Every service × every city = a dedicated page. Blog posts answering every question customers ask. Competitor keywords you should rank for but don't. Plus AI-search optimization, so when someone asks ChatGPT "who's the best plumber in Rochester?" your name comes up. At 100 pages the content moat is too deep for competitors to copy quickly.

"affordable drain cleaning Greece NY", "24-hour plumber Penfield NY", "how much does a water heater cost in Rochester" → a blog post that ranks

Add-On Services

Keep it fast, found, and running itself

A great site is the foundation. These keep it performing long after launch — each one optional, each one priced to pay for itself.

Managed Hosting

$25–75/mo · never worry about downtime

Your site lives on a server 24/7. We handle all of it — deployments, SSL, CDN, uptime monitoring, performance tuning. No technical knowledge required on your end.

  • Static sites on Cloudflare ($25/mo) — blazing fast, global CDN, near-zero downtime
  • Dynamic sites with blogs/CMS on Vercel ($50/mo) — absorbs traffic spikes automatically
  • High-traffic or large sites ($75–150/mo) — dedicated resources, priority support
  • SSL renewal, automatic deploys, monthly performance checks included
  • Push a content update → live in under 60 seconds

Without managed hosting you're on the hook for your server, SSL, and uptime. Most "shared hosting" is slow and unreliable — ours is custom-configured for your specific site.

Ongoing SEO + AI Search

$49–99/mo · keep climbing, never slide back

Google updates its algorithm hundreds of times a year. AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) is a whole new channel. Without ongoing work, a site that ranks today slowly disappears next year.

  • Monthly technical SEO audit — catch issues before Google penalizes you
  • Content refreshes + new keywords your competitors are winning
  • AI-search monitoring: track when ChatGPT/Perplexity cite you for Rochester searches
  • Search Console monitoring — fix crawl errors, track ranking changes
  • Monthly report: what improved, what's next, where traffic came from
  • Algorithm-change response — if Google updates and you drop, we fix it fast

Custom AI Assistant (ChatGPT Agent)

$49–199/mo · answer customers 24/7

A chatbot trained on your business — your services, prices, hours, service area, and most common questions. Not a generic bot that gives useless answers. Your answers, your voice, around the clock.

  • Trained on your service list, pricing, FAQ, and policies
  • Handles "do you service [city]?", "what are your hours?", "how much is X?"
  • Qualifies leads: asks budget, timeline, project type before connecting to you
  • After-hours capture: logs inquiries when you're closed, emails you a summary
  • Embedded on your site — no separate app, no account for customers
  • Small biz ($49/mo): up to 500 chats/mo · High-traffic ($99–199/mo): unlimited

Pricing scales with traffic. High-volume sites (restaurants, retail) with 1,000+ monthly visitors need the higher tier to cover API costs. We'll always recommend the right tier for your volume.

Business Automation (catalog below)

from $99 setup + $29/mo · let software do the busywork

Custom n8n workflows that connect your tools, automate follow-ups, and run your back-office without you touching it. Built once, runs forever, monitored monthly — from email sequences to invoicing to social posting.

  • Hosted on our servers — you install nothing
  • Connects to tools you already use (Gmail, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Instagram…)
  • Monthly monitoring: we make sure it's running and fix any breaks
