How a build goes

From handover to live in 7 days.

The clock starts at handover, not at payment.

  1. Day 1
    Handover

    Logo, photos, Google profile access, services, towns and domain.

  2. Day 2
    Structure

    Every service mapped to a page, every town checked, profile category and services set.

  3. Day 3
    Pages

    Service pages for your trade, each with its price and before and after.

  4. Day 4
    Towns

    Pages for towns with something true to say, linked to the profile. Schema on every page.

  5. Day 5
    Proof

    Gallery, reviews, insurance and certification where buyers look.

  6. Day 6
    Tracking

    Quote form, click to call, pixel and analytics on every page. Popup and calendar tested.

  7. Day 7
    Your check

    You open every page and the quote form on your phone. Then it goes live.

Day 0

We tell you what we would build and what we would skip. You walk us through your service area, your competitors, your current site if you have one, and the customer journey you wish worked better.

What you leave with
  • Written brief covering proposed scope, page list, and content seed plan
  • Honest read on whether we are the right fit (sometimes we say no)
  • Competitive scan of your top 3 local competitors
  • No pressure, no follow-up sequence, even if you do not hire us

Build

Days 1 to 6

What used to take an agency 40 to 80 hours of human labor takes our team 8 to 15 hours of judgment work, with the rest automated. Our automation-first tooling covers design iteration, copy drafts, schema generation, page-by-page SEO and content seeding. You see daily progress in a shared workspace.

What you leave with
  • Pages drafted: home, a page for every service, town pages where there is something true to say, and real job posts
  • Real LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ schema validated programmatically
  • 20 to 50 blog posts written and edited for your trade and voice
  • Sub-2-second mobile LCP, CLS under 0.1, measured, not promised
  • Daily Slack / email check-ins so nothing surprises you at launch

Launch

Day 7

After your phone check, your domain switches over and the site goes live, with Google Search Console and GA4 set up. From the day it launches your domain and the content you give us are yours. Buy the build and the code is yours too; rent it and the build is ours while you rent, and you can buy it outright any time.

What you leave with
  • Live site at your domain with 20 to 50 blog posts indexed and submitted to Google
  • Google Business Profile optimized, categories, services, photos, posts (on a rental, a one-time $297)
  • Conversion tracking firing on phone calls, form fills, and primary CTAs
  • Handoff session covering how to edit content, monitor leads, and request changes
  • Written record of every decision in case you switch agencies later

Ongoing

Month 2 onward

Most clients see organic ranking lift within 60 to 90 days. Renting at $297/month includes new pages every month and unlimited edits. Own the build and host it yourself, with optional $47/month support for small edits and a ranking report.

What you leave with
  • Hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, and security updates handled
  • 1 to 2 new blog posts written and published per month
  • Unlimited content edits
  • Quarterly schema and Core Web Vitals tune-up
  • No setup fee and no minimum term when you rent

Four principles we don't break

If we violate any of these on your project, you have a free pass to fire us and keep what we shipped.

AI is leverage, not a shortcut

Every page passes a human editorial review before launch. We use AI to speed up first-draft copy, schema generation, content seeding and SEO research, never to fabricate testimonials, invent client outcomes or ship thin, generic content.

Fixed scope, written contract

You get exactly what the customer acquisition website page lists. No surprise change orders, no "discovery phase" billing creep. If something is out of scope, we say so on the strategy call and you decide whether to add it before we start.

Your domain and the content you give us stay yours

Your domain and Google accounts are in your name from day one, and the content you give us stays yours, rent or own. Buy the site and the code is yours outright. Rent it and the build is ours while you rent, and you can buy it outright any time. We are not a CMS lock-in agency.

Zero fabricated proof

Every testimonial on this site is from a real, named client. If we have not earned a result, we do not publish it. Every "case study coming soon" is honest that the work is still under way.
