Why the last website went quiet

If your current site is not bringing calls, see whether one of these sounds familiar.

  • It sat still after launch

    Someone built it, sent the invoice and moved on. Your services, prices and towns changed. The site did not.

  • You ended up running it

    The software came with a site builder, a dashboard and a to-do list. Running a crew left no time for any of it.

  • Nobody could say what you paid for

    A bill every month and a report full of charts, but no plain list of the work that was actually done.

The monthly work, in numbers you can count

No vague "strategy". This is what the Managed Website Plan does each month, and which plans include it.

Three ways to get a contractor website

Each one works for someone. Ours is for owners who want the website done and kept up by people, including contractor websites built around your services and towns. We serve Upstate South Carolina, so local owners can start with website design in Greenville, SC.

Build it yourself

  • You pick the template and write every page
  • You make every change, usually at night
  • Cheap to start, paid for in your time

Rent an all-in-one app

  • Quotes, invoices, reviews and a website in one subscription
  • A monthly subscription for the whole software package
  • The website is one part of a bigger product

Have people build and run it

  • We write, build and launch your site
  • You send a change and a person makes it
  • The website and local search are the whole job

See all four plans, priced in full, on the pricing page.

From first message to every month after

You approve the plan before we build anything. Launch usually takes about two weeks from when we have your information. The detail is on how it works.

  1. Mark out

    We map your services, the areas you cover and how customers reach you. You approve the page list and the look before we build.

  2. Build

    We write, design and build the site, set up analytics and link your Google Business Profile, then launch.

  3. Maintain

    Every month we keep it running, make the changes you send and do the work your plan includes.

Month to month. Cancel anytime.

No launch fee to lose and no minimum term to sit out. Ask us how handover works.

What we promise, and what we won't

Nobody controls where Google puts you. Here is the line we hold.

What we promise

  • All four prices written out in full, with no launch fee
  • Month to month. Cancel anytime
  • Unlimited small edits, made by a person
  • An updated ranking map every month on Local, Growth and Partner
  • A reply within 1 business day

What we will not promise

  • A ranking or a date on page one. No ranking guarantees, ever
  • A number of calls, leads or jobs. Your market, reviews and season decide that
  • A launch date. About two weeks is our usual target, not a guarantee
  • Anything we have not written down on this site

Straight answers

What does the plan cost?

Four plans: Site at $199 a month, Local at $499, Growth at $1,297 and Partner at $1,995. No launch fee. See pricing for what each plan includes.

Do you guarantee rankings or calls?

No. Nobody honest can promise a ranking, a date or a number of calls, leads or jobs. We promise the work and the terms written on this site, and we build the site so it can rank and convert.

I paid an agency before and could not tell what they did. Why is this different?

You see the full price before you talk to us. There is no launch fee and no minimum term. The monthly work is listed in plain words, and on Local, Growth and Partner you get an updated ranking map each month. If it stops being worth it, cancel.

What happens if I want to leave?

Every plan is month to month, so you can cancel anytime. You never paid a launch fee, so there is nothing up front to lose. Ask us how handover works.
