What We Do

Google Ads, Local Service Ads, SEO, AIO/GEO, web design, and hosting — built for local businesses on the West Slope that want more qualified calls and booked jobs, not just more traffic.

Google Ads

When someone in your area searches for your service, they're ready to call. We make sure your business shows up — and that your ads are written to get the phone ringing, not just clicked. Search campaigns, Performance Max, Shopping, call tracking so you can see exactly which ads brought in each lead, and ongoing optimization so nothing goes stale.

Search Campaigns Performance Max Shopping Ads Keyword Research Call & Conversion Tracking Search Term Management Bid Strategy Optimization Weekly Loom Video Reports Dedicated Slack Channel
Search Campaigns: Keyword targeting and ad copy built around what your customers actually search — including emergency vs. non-emergency intent and service-specific terms.
Performance Max Campaigns: Full account structure optimized for reaching new customers, configured with your best-performing products and audience signals.
Shopping Campaigns: Product feed optimization, search term mapping, and custom labels to maximize visibility and return on ad spend.
Remarketing: Dynamic remarketing setup targeting past visitors with relevant ads — so you stay in front of people who already know you exist.
Call & Conversion Tracking: We set up tracking so you can see exactly which calls and form fills came from your ads — not just clicks.
Ongoing Optimization: Weekly search term reviews, bid adjustments, and ad copy testing. We don't set it and forget it.
Monthly Reporting: Plain-English breakdown of what your budget brought in — calls, leads, cost per lead, and what we're doing next.

Local Service Ads

LSAs put your business at the very top of Google — above regular search ads — and you only pay when someone actually calls or messages you, not for clicks. We handle setup, lead verification, disputing junk leads, and ongoing optimization so your budget goes toward real jobs, not wasted calls.

LSA Setup & Verification Junk Lead Disputes Google Guaranteed Badge Map Pack Visibility Budget & Bid Optimization Dedicated Slack Channel
Account Setup & Verification: Complete LSA profile setup, license/insurance verification, and category configuration to get your Google Guaranteed badge.
Lead Dispute Management: We review your leads and dispute junk calls — wrong numbers, out-of-area requests, irrelevant inquiries — so you're not paying for calls that can't become jobs.
Budget & Bid Optimization: Ongoing adjustments to your weekly budget and bid settings based on lead volume and cost-per-lead targets.
Profile Optimization: Service area, hours, services offered, and review management to maximize your ranking in the map pack.

SEO & Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing someone sees when they search your name or '[service] near me.' We make sure it's optimized and accurate. On top of that, we handle keyword research, on-page SEO, content, and AI Overview optimization so your site ranks for the searches that actually bring in calls and bookings.

Google Business Profile Local SEO Keyword Research On-Page Optimization AI Overview Optimization Technical SEO Dedicated Slack Channel
Google Business Profile Management: Profile optimization, category selection, photo updates, Q&A management, and review monitoring so your listing outranks competitors in the map pack.
Local SEO: Geo-targeted content and local citations so you show up when someone searches '[your service] near me' or '[city] + [service].'
Technical SEO Audit: Site analysis identifying crawl errors, page speed issues, and structural problems that hold your rankings back.
On-Page Optimization: Title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and content structure optimized for the keywords your customers actually use.
AI Overview Optimization: Structured content and schema markup to help your business appear in Google's AI-generated answers at the top of search results.
Content Strategy: Service pages and supporting content built to rank for high-intent searches and answer the questions your customers ask before they call.
Performance Tracking: Monthly reporting on keyword rankings, map pack visibility, and organic traffic — tied back to calls and form fills where possible.

Web Design

Your website is your best salesperson — it should load fast on a phone, make it dead simple to call or book, and show proof that you're the real deal (reviews, photos, licenses, certifications). We build custom sites on Astro and Tailwind, deployed on Vercel — not template drag-and-drop builders. Fast, clean, and built to convert visitors into calls.

Mobile-First Design Custom Astro + Tailwind Build Conversion-Focused Layout Review & Trust Signal Integration Fast Page Load Speeds Vercel Deployment Google Analytics Setup
Custom Design: No templates. We design and build your site from scratch around your business, your services, and the customers you want to attract.
Mobile-First & Fast: Built to load in under 2 seconds on mobile, where most of your customers are searching from.
Conversion-Optimized Layout: Clear calls-to-action, prominent phone number, easy booking — every page is built to get visitors to contact you, not bounce.
Trust Signal Integration: Google reviews, photos, licenses, certifications, and before/after galleries built into the design so visitors feel confident before they call.
On-Page SEO Foundation: Proper page structure, title tags, meta descriptions, and schema markup so the site is ready to rank from day one.
Analytics & Tracking Setup: Google Analytics and conversion tracking configured so you can see where visitors come from and which pages lead to calls.

Web Hosting

Slow, unreliable hosting costs you calls. We host your site on Vercel's global edge network — the same infrastructure used by some of the fastest sites on the web. Pages load in milliseconds, uptime is near-perfect, and you never have to think about it. No shared hosting, no mystery downtime, no annual contracts.

Vercel Edge Network Automatic SSL Near-Zero Downtime Fast Global Load Times Flat Monthly Rate Managed Updates
Vercel Edge Hosting: Your site is served from a global content delivery network — pages load fast no matter where your visitors are, especially on mobile.
Automatic SSL Certificate: HTTPS enabled by default, automatically renewed — no manual renewals, no security warnings for your visitors.
Managed Deployments: When we update your site, it goes live instantly with zero downtime. No FTP, no staging drama.
Uptime Monitoring: We monitor your site and get alerted immediately if something goes down — you don't have to notice it yourself.
Flat Monthly Rate: Predictable, flat pricing — no surprise bills when traffic spikes, no upsells for basic features.
