Commonly Asked Questions

We work with local service businesses across Northern Michigan, including home-service contractors (roofing, plumbing, HVAC), trades, real estate, and nonprofits. Right now we're especially interested in website rebuilds for businesses outgrowing a slow or dated site, local SEO campaigns aimed at the Google map pack, and Google Business Profile optimization. We take on a limited number of clients at a time so each one gets direct attention from the founder rather than a handoff to junior staff.

A focused small-business website typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on page count and how quickly content and photos come together. Local SEO and Google Business Profile work is ongoing, with the first round of optimizations completed in the first two to three weeks and results building over the following months. Smaller updates and maintenance requests are usually turned around within a business day or two.

Clients work directly with the founder from the first call through launch and beyond, so there's no game of telephone through account managers. We keep communication simple and responsive, mostly email and scheduled calls, with clear check-ins at each milestone (strategy, design, build, launch). We're known for explaining the "why" behind the work in plain language, so you always understand what we're doing and why it matters for getting you more calls.

Onboarding starts with a discovery call to understand your business, your customers, and your goals. From there we put together a clear proposal and scope. Once you're on board, we collect what we need (brand assets, content, photos, and access to your domain and Google Business Profile) and set up a simple kickoff. We handle the build and strategy with check-ins at each milestone, walk you through the site before launch, and stay on afterward for SEO, hosting, and support. The goal is to make it easy and keep you focused on running your business.
