Why we start with a free homepage mockup & Google audit
You shouldn’t have to gamble on a marketing partner. Before you pay us a dollar, we do the first part of the job up front so you can see the work, not just hear the pitch.
In your world, nobody hires a crew without a clear plan and estimate. Your website and Google presence should work the same way.
Before we talk about budgets or timelines, we map out a homepage concept and Google Business Profile audit around your services, your service area, and the jobs you actually want more of. You get to see how we think, what we’d build, and how it could add real value to your business — then you decide if it makes sense to move forward.
- Judge us on a concrete plan, not vague promises or jargon.
- Spot where you’re leaving calls, quote requests, and good jobs on the table.
- Keep the roadmap whether you decide to work with us or not.
Bottom line:
you see the level of thinking and detail we bring to your online presence
before you ever write a check.

I don’t lock people into long retainers or confusing packages. If the site and SEO aren’t helping, you shouldn’t be stuck. You stay because the work is worth it, not because of paperwork.

What I work on
Local SEO, Google Business Profile, on-page & technical SEO, form & call conversion fixes, and clean WordPress builds tuned for local search.
Tools I live in
WordPress, GA4, Search Console, PageSpeed, schema, and call + form tracking — enough to know what’s working without drowning you in dashboards.
How I think about “results”
Not just rankings. We look at calls, quote requests, booked jobs, and the actual jobs you want more of. The marketing should match the work you want to do.
Frequently asked
Questions.
Straightforward answers about Local SEO, Google Business, and website work in Lincoln. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just reach out and I’ll answer it directly.
I help small service businesses get found online. That usually means building or rebuilding a fast, clean WordPress site, tightening up on-page SEO, and setting up or fixing your Google Business Profile so people can easily call, message, or request a quote.
Most projects start to move the needle in the first 1–3 months. Bigger jumps usually come once the new site has been live for a bit, Google has re-crawled everything, and we’ve had time to refine based on real search data.
Most of my work is with contractors and service brands in Lincoln and nearby towns. If you’re in Nebraska and run a local, service-based business, there’s a good chance I can help.
A short call to understand your services, service area, and goals. From there I’ll ask for any existing photos, logos, and logins (website and Google accounts) and then handle the build, SEO, and tracking setup.
Calls, quote requests, and booked jobs first — not vanity metrics. We’ll also track search traffic, map views, and form fills, but the main question is always: “Is this bringing in more real work?”
Websites are project-based; Local SEO / Google Business work is month-to-month. No long contracts or surprise retainers — if it’s not delivering, you shouldn’t be locked in.
It lets you see exactly how your site could look before you spend anything. You get a real layout in your branding, not just a generic template, and we both get a clear idea of whether it’s a good fit to move forward.
