What you actually get

How it works: your site, built and found

For $225/mo I build your website, then do the ongoing work that makes Google and AI tools like ChatGPT actually show your business when a local searches for what you do, and keep the 5 star reviews coming. All of it is included, every month, no extra cost.

🛠️ A website built for you

I design and build your full website from scratch in your brand, using your photos and words. Fast, built to work properly on phones and live in about 4 days, with lead capture forms built in so enquiries come straight to you.

📍 Local & location pages

I build dedicated pages for the suburbs and services you want to be found for, for your suburb and the areas around you, so you show up when someone nearby searches for exactly what you offer.

✍️ Blog posts that rank

I write helpful blog posts targeted to the words your customers actually search for, that answer what your customers are searching for. Fresh, useful content is one of the strongest signals to Google that your site is worth ranking.

🧩 Schema & technical SEO

All the invisible technical work is done for you: structured data (schema), sitemaps, meta tags, fast load speeds, pages that work properly on phones and a clean site structure Google and AI crawlers can read easily.

🤖 Built for AI search (GEO)

More people ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations now. I structure your site so those AI tools can find, understand and recommend your business, not just Google.

⚡ Automations & development

Custom development and automations are included too: quote calculators, live job feeds, booking and CRM integrations, client dashboards and automatic follow ups. You also get unlimited changes to your site every month, so you ask and I build it, at no extra cost.

An honest word on results

Nobody can promise you the top of page one on Google, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Anyone who does is selling you something. What I can promise is the foundation, and the foundation is the part most businesses never get.

Your site gets built properly, submitted to Google and actually indexed, then structured so search engines and AI tools can read and understand it. A huge number of small business websites are not even indexed, which means they cannot rank for anything at all, no matter how good the business is. Same story with AI search. Most sites are invisible to it because nothing on the page tells the tools what the business does or where it is.

Get that right and you are in the game, ranking becomes possible, and every bit of work after that compounds. That is what your $225 a month buys.

A Google review system that keeps the 5 star reviews coming

Reviews are one of the biggest things that decide whether a local picks you or the business next door, and they boost your Google ranking too. I set up a simple system that automatically invites your happy customers to leave a Google review at the right moment, so your star rating and review count keep climbing without you chasing anyone.

  • Automatic review invites by SMS & email
  • More reviews = higher local ranking
  • Fresh 5 star social proof on your site
  • Set up and looked after for you

Questions, answered

Is it really $225 a month?
Yes. $225/month, month to month. No build fee, no setup cost, and you can cancel any time.
Who actually looks after my site?
Tim, the founder, based right here in Melbourne's east. He handles the builds and looks after your site directly, available 9 to 5 Monday to Friday and always on email. Need some images updated? Just email them over and they'll be up within 4 days.
Will I have editor access to the website?
Not directly, but any changes you need are generally completed within 4 days. Just submit your changes via email and I'll get it done.
Do you work with businesses like mine?
Yes. That's exactly who this is for. I'm local to Melbourne's east and look after service businesses right across the eastern suburbs. You get a real local person on the other end, not an overseas call centre.
Will it actually get found on Google?
That's the whole point. Every site is built with proper structure, fast pages and local SEO, plus it's optimised to show up in AI search.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Everything is month to month. Stay as long as it's working for you, leave whenever you like.
What if I'm not satisfied?
I'll do everything I can to make it right. If I still can't, I'll cancel your subscription straight away, and your site stays live for another 14 days so nothing drops off overnight.
What's the catch with the price?
There isn't one. I build and manage websites using my own systems, so I can offer a full, looked after site for a flat, fair monthly price instead of a big upfront fee.
