The price

Every price, before you talk to anybody.

Two separate parts: the website, paid once, and the monthly package at its own price. Mini keeps the site hosted with no bots, the chat that answers comes with Starter, and Growth puts every bot on staff.

Google Ads: Google Ads, set up and run for you: $249 a month to manage them, plus $299 once to set them up. Added to any plan: Mini, Starter, Growth or Platinum Service. Your ad budget is paid by you directly to Google, on your own card. Our $249 is only for managing it.

The website and the monthly package are priced separately. An extra page is $99–$129; we list it at $129. The sports team app is a separate quote.

Beyond the site

Found on Google, and honest about the rest.

A website nobody finds is a business card in a drawer. From Starter up, the monthly package includes your Google Business Profile (the panel beside your name in search and on Maps) set up with the right categories, service areas and a description that reads like your business, and your local directory listings go in at the same time. You stay the primary owner of the profile.

  • We build the site whether or not the bots fit your trade. Some trades they cannot work in, auto glass for one; the website is still the website.
  • Nothing on Mini answers, prices or chases anybody. It is a website, done properly, and it says so.
  • The domain: It is registered in your own account, in your name. Not ours, not resold to you, not held against the bill.

The part nobody publishes

What you own, and how you leave.

The domain

It is registered in your own account, in your name. Not ours, not resold to you, not held against the bill.

Your Google Business Profile

You are the primary owner. We are a manager on it, and you can remove us without asking anybody.

The website

Yours to keep, and it stays up. The chat and the marketing are the parts that stop with the service.

Getting out

Thirty days’ notice, any time. The website is paid for once, so the monthly package is month to month from the very first day — no minimum, unless you choose two months free in exchange for a year.

Territory

One company per area.

We build for one company in your trade, in your part of town — not four. Your trade, your area; never the whole metro. When yours is taken, it’s taken.

Real work

Sites we built for real businesses.

  • Zen Pizza

    Restaurant · New York style pizza · Port Orange, FL

    Every price on the menu, filterable without a script — and an order helper that builds the list you read down the phone.

    Built and finished; live at a preview address until the domain moves.

  • Jose's Landscaping

    Landscaping & yard care · Scappoose & St Helens, OR

    Fifteen pages, a job log and a seasonal-notes section — a service business that posts like one.

  • Thao Auto Repair

    Auto repair & auto body · North Park, San Diego, CA

    Twenty-four pages built around the repair order — the codes pulled, and a brake job declined.

    Built and finished; the domain cutover is waiting on the shop owner.

  • BumperDoc San Diego

    Bumper & cosmetic repair · San Diego, CA

    A licensee build on the same engine — its own brand, its own city, its own estimator.

Where we work

Built remotely, for trades anywhere in the US.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does a website cost?

Two separate parts. The website is paid once: 5-page website $1,195, 10-page website $1,895, Complete custom build $2,995. Then a monthly package: Mini is $49 a month, hosting and security with no bots; Starter is $149 a month and adds your Google Business Profile, your directory listings, and the AI chat on your site with every lead emailed to you; Growth is $249 a month with every bot on staff. Or have our team do it all: Platinum Service, $949 a month. It is everything in Growth, with our people writing and publishing your posts, working on your SEO, answering your reviews and keeping the site running, plus a report every month. Every price is on this page.

Does the website answer my customers?

That depends on the monthly package, not the website. Mini, $49 a month, has no chat and no bots. The chat that answers day and night, with every inquiry sent to you as a lead, comes with Starter at $149 a month, and Growth at $249 a month puts every bot on staff.

How long does it take?

First we hand-build a real home page for your business, free, in 12 to 48 hours. You look at it before any money moves, and the rest of the build is planned with you from there.

Do I own it?

Yes. The website is yours to keep, on your own domain. The chat and the marketing stop with the service. The domain: It is registered in your own account, in your name. Not ours, not resold to you, not held against the bill.

Can I start small and add the chat later?

Yes. The monthly package is separate from the website, so move from Mini to Starter whenever you want the chat, and nothing about the website changes. Start with a smaller website and grow into a bigger build whenever you are ready. What you paid for the website comes off the price of the bigger one.

I already have a website. Do I start over?

Not if you like it. We work a WordPress site you already have into the build instead of replacing it. If it is holding you back, we rebuild it.

Want it answering your customers too? Websites with the chat (the chat is on Starter, $149 a month)
