Web Design, SEO and Ads for Colorado Trades
Five things I do, what each one costs, and an honest note on which you actually need. Most businesses need two of the five.
48 hours, no call required.
Five things, priced separately. A build is $1,500 to $6,500 once. Monthly search work is $750 to $1,500. Nothing here is bundled.
I would rather sell you the one thing that moves the phone than a package where four fifths of it sits idle.
What Most Businesses Actually Need Is Two of the Five
Usually the website and the profile work. The website converts the people who arrive, provided it is built the way a local business site has to be built. The profile is what sends them, and it is the single most neglected asset in local marketing.
If you only ever buy one thing from anyone, buy the profile work. It is the cheapest item on this list and the one that most often moves first.
Everything else depends on your situation. Ads make sense when you need calls before search work matures, or when your season is short. A redesign makes sense when the site is the bottleneck rather than the traffic.
The Five, Priced Separately
Web design.
A page for every service, built to load fast on a phone. $1,500 to $6,500 one time, and most builds land at $3,500. The full breakdown is here.
Local SEO.
Getting found by people searching nearby. $750 to $1,500 a month after the ramp, month to month, measured in calls rather than impressions. What the monthly work covers.
Google Business Profile.
The thing that actually sends the call, and often the cheapest fix available. Included in the monthly work rather than sold alone. Why the primary category matters most.
Google Ads.
Calls this week rather than this quarter. $1,500 setup and $600 a month to manage, with the spend billed direct to you by Google and never marked up. What the setup buys.
3D web design.
Cinematic scroll builds for property developments and premium brands. A different offer, a different price band, and it makes sense for maybe one business in twenty. See the builds.
The Mistake Is Buying One Piece and Expecting It to Do the Job of Three
Nothing here is bundled and you can buy any of it on its own. That is deliberate. It also means it is worth being straight about what each piece does not do by itself.
A site with no search work converts whoever finds it and does nothing at all to increase that number. You end up with a better closing tool aimed at exactly the same size audience, which is real value and is not what most people think they are buying.
Search work on a thin site is paying for a ceiling. The traffic arrives, lands on pages that cannot answer what it came to ask, and the calls do not follow. This is the most expensive version of the mistake, because it bills monthly.
Ads with neither work exactly as long as the card keeps being charged, and stop the day it does not. Nothing accumulates. You are renting the top of the page.
The combination that compounds is a site built to rank, profile work feeding the map pack, and ads carrying you through the months before search matures. That is why those three exist as one offer rather than three invoices.
None of which means you should buy all of it. It means you should know which gap you are actually filling, and I would rather tell you the answer is one item than sell you four.
The two that compound together are the site and the search work, which is the Call Engine: those two run as one system rather than two invoices, with the ads carrying the gap between them.
The Honest Ranking of Speed
Google Ads.
Calls can start the week it goes live. It is also the only one here where results stop the day you stop paying, which is why it works best alongside search rather than instead of it.
Profile work.
Often moves within weeks, and it costs the least of anything on this page. A primary category correction can shift your position with no build and no content.
The website.
Live in two to three weeks from the interview. Converts better immediately and ranks later, which are two different benefits arriving on two different schedules.
Local SEO.
Movement in one to two months, real call volume around month six, full return in about a year. Anyone shortening that timeline is guessing.
What It All Costs
$1,500 to $6,500For a build, one time, with most landing at $3,500. Monthly search work is $750 to $1,500 after a short ramp. Ads management is $1,500 to set up and $600 a month, and the spend goes to Google rather than to me.
No twelve month lock-in on any of it. No agency holding your domain. No reporting in impressions. You own the domain, hosting, content and every login from day one.
Every price is published rather than quoted after a call, and the towns it applies across are on the areas page.
Questions I Get Asked
Which service do I actually need?
Most service businesses need the website and the Google Business Profile work. Everything else is situational. If you want a straight answer for your case, the teardown is $47 and I will tell you when the answer is less rather than more.
Can I buy just one?
Yes. Nothing here is bundled, and I would rather sell you the one thing that moves the phone than a package where four fifths of it sits idle.
What does it all cost together?
A build is $1,500 to $6,500 one time, most land at $3,500. Monthly search work is $750 to $1,500. Ads management is quoted separately and the spend goes to Google, not me.
What is the fastest one to see results from?
Google Ads, by a distance. Calls can start the week it goes live. It is also the only one where results stop the day you stop paying, which is why it works best alongside search work rather than instead of it.
What is the slowest?
Local SEO. Movement in one to two months, real call volume around month six, full return in about a year. Anyone shortening that timeline is guessing.
Do you do social media management?
No. I do paid social when it fits, but I do not run organic accounts, and I would rather say so than take the money and do it badly.
What else do you not do?
E-commerce builds, national campaigns, and anything for a business without a local service area. If you need one of those, I will usually know somebody worth talking to.
Am I locked in?
No long 12-month lock-in on any of it. Builds are one-time projects, monthly work runs month to month after a short ramp.
Who does the work?
I do, on all of it. That is also why I take a small number of clients at a time.
Where I Work
Based in Parker, Colorado, working across the Front Range. The price does not change by town. What changes is which searches are realistically yours from your address.
Start With the $47 Teardown
I'll tell you which of the five actually moves the phone for your situation, including when the answer is one of them rather than three. Forty-eight hours. Yours to keep either way.
$47, free if you go ahead with any service. If you do not see an increase in calls by month three, I work for free until you do.
