Our Process

From yes to live in about 7 days

Most agencies keep the process vague. Here is exactly what happens, what we need from you, and how much of your time it actually costs.

Step by step

What happens, and when

Total time on your end is about an hour across the whole project. The rest is our job.

  1. Day 0

    Your time: About 10 minutes

    You reach out

    You send a message or call. We ask about your trade, the cities you cover, what you want more of, and whether you already have a website. This takes one conversation, not a discovery call sequence.

  2. Day 1

    Your time: Review and approve

    Quote and scope in writing

    You get a fixed price and a page list in writing. No hourly estimates, no scope that grows halfway through. If the number works, you pay 50 percent and we start. If it does not, no hard feelings and nothing owed.

  3. Days 1 to 2

    Your time: About 30 minutes

    You send your material

    Service list, service area, phone number, license and insurance details, and any job photos you have. This is the step that controls the timeline, because design starts the moment it lands. Most owners send everything in one email.

  4. Days 2 to 5

    Your time: Nothing

    We design and build

    We write the copy, build every page, structure the local SEO, add the schema markup, and optimize your photos. You are not involved in this part. Go run your business.

  5. Day 5

    Your time: About 20 minutes

    You review

    You get a link to the finished website before anything is public. Go through it and send back everything you want changed in one list. Your included revision covers it.

  6. Days 6 to 7

    Your time: Approve and go live

    Revisions and launch

    We make your changes, set up the domain, and take it live. On the monthly plan the domain and hosting are included, and we also build out your Google Business Profile and start the local SEO work. You pay the balance at delivery.

That is the whole process. Ready to start day zero?

After launch

What happens once it is live

On the monthly plan

Hosting, maintenance, security updates, and uptime monitoring run in the background. You get 2 revisions per month for seasonal offers, new services, and photo updates. Local SEO and Google Business Profile management continue every month, which is where rankings actually build.

On the one time build

We hand over every file and help you point your domain. From there it is yours to host and maintain. If you want changes later, additional revisions are $50 per request, or you can move to the monthly plan at any point.

FAQ

Process questions, answered

How long does the whole process take?

About 7 days for most websites, from the day we receive your material to launch. Larger builds with many service area pages run longer. The step that controls the timeline is you sending photos and your service list, since everything else is on us.

How much of my time does this take?

Roughly an hour total, spread across the whole project. Ten minutes on the first conversation, thirty gathering your material, and twenty reviewing the finished website. We write the copy and handle every technical step so you are not doing homework at night.

What if I do not like the design?

You tell us and we change it. Your build includes a revision covering everything you want adjusted, and nothing goes live until you have approved it. We would rather redo a section than launch something you are not proud to put on your truck.

Can you work faster if I need it live sooner?

Sometimes, depending on what is in the queue and how fast you get us your material. Tell us the deadline in the first conversation and we will tell you honestly whether it is doable rather than promising it and missing.

Day zero takes ten minutes

Send us your trade and your city. You will have a fixed quote and a page list back within one business day.
