WHAT I DO FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Get found. Get chosen.
Let someone else keep it running.
Plans and pricing start as low as $49/month, and we agree on the work and price before anything starts.
Website design
A fast, phone-friendly site that says what you do, which towns you cover and how to reach you, with real photos of your work.
Google Business Profile and local SEO
A page for each service, a Google listing that matches your site, and your reviews in front of people who are deciding.
Monthly upkeep
New hours, services, prices and photos, plus fixes when something breaks. You send the change; I make it.
HOW LOCAL SEARCH WORKS
Why the shop down the road shows up first.
When someone in Cedar Falls searches for “tree trimming near me”, Google weighs three things: how relevant your business is to the search, how close you are, and how well known you are, which includes your reviews. You can’t move your shop, but you can make the other two unmistakable. That’s most of what local SEO is.
For a small business, that usually means a clear page for each service, the towns you cover written out plainly, a Google Business Profile with the same name, phone number and hours as your site, and a steady trickle of honest reviews.
What local owners usually ask.
Do I need a website if I already have a Google listing or Facebook page?
They help, but you don’t control them. A website is where you can answer every question, show your work and link from your Google listing, so the two back each other up.
How long until my business shows up on Google?
It varies with your trade, your town and your competition. A new site and a cleaned-up Google listing usually get noticed within weeks. Ranking higher takes longer, and reviews matter. I’ll tell you what’s realistic before you spend anything.
Do you only work with Waterloo and Cedar Falls businesses?
That’s my focus: Black Hawk County and the Cedar Valley. If you’re nearby, call and we’ll talk it through.
What does it cost?
Plans and pricing start as low as $49/month. Tell me your budget and I’ll put it toward the change that moves the needle most.
