Home / How it works
From “sure, send it” to live in about two weeks
Here is the whole process, day by day, including the parts that are on you. Most owners spend about an hour in total. We do the rest.
The timeline
What happens, and who does it
Blue dots are us. Yellow dots are the few things only you can do.
- Before anything
Free previewUs
You tell us your business name and the best number to text. Within one business day we build a preview of your new homepage with your real Google reviews, services and a tap-to-call button, and text you the link. It’s free, it’s yours to look at, and there is nothing to cancel if you pass.
- When it suits you
10-minute walkthroughYou
We go through the preview on your phone together, by phone or in person around Atlanta. You tell us what you’d change. If you want it, you sign up on the spot or by the link we text you.
- Signup
Pay and get your portalYou
$997 for the build and the first $99 month of care, paid by card or bank through Stripe. You get a login to your client portal the same day. Change your mind before design starts and you get all of it back.
- Day 1
Kickoff, about 15 minutesYou
You add your logo, a few photos, services, hours, service area and your Google Business Profile link in the portal. No logo? We make a simple clean one. We ask the questions on the list below and that’s your writing done.
- Days 2 to 7
We write and build all 5 pagesUs
Home, services, about, service area and contact, written for your customers in plain English, built phone-first, with your reviews, a quote form that texts you, and the technical work Google expects (fast, secure, mobile-friendly, proper titles and structure).
- Day 7 to 10
Round one of changesYou
You get a private link. Read it on your phone, mark up anything (wrong price, better photo, a service we missed). Send it from the portal’s Requests tab or just reply to the email.
- Days 10 to 13
Round two, then your approvalUs
We make the changes, you look again, we make the last ones. Nothing goes live until you say so.
- Day 14-ish
Domain and launchBoth
If you own a domain, you share access with us (never your password) and we point it at the new site. If you don’t, you buy one in your name (about $10 to $15 a year) and we set it up. Your old email keeps working. We test the call button and the form on real phones, then it’s live.
- Every month after
Care planUs
Hosting, SSL, and up to 30 minutes of edits a month: new prices, hours, photos, a seasonal special. Send them from the portal and see their status there. We also check that your form and call button still work. 3-month minimum, then month to month.
What we need from you
The whole list. Most owners have it on their phone already.
The link, or just the name as it appears on Google Maps. We pull your reviews from it.
What you do, what you don’t, and any prices you’re happy to post (service call fee, starting prices).
Days and hours, after-hours policy, and the cities or neighborhoods you cover.
The number that should ring and the inbox that gets quote requests.
Phone photos of your truck, your team and finished jobs are perfect. No logo? We make a simple one.
License number, “licensed and insured”, any certifications or memberships you want on the site.
Where you bought it and whether you have email on it. We never ask for the password.
The 3 or 4 questions you answer all day. We put the answers on the site.
We link them from the site so regulars can find your posts.

Questions
About the process
How much of my time does this take?
About an hour total: 10 minutes for the preview walkthrough, 15 for kickoff, and two short rounds of reading the site and telling us what to change.
What if I take longer than two weeks to send things?
That’s fine. The two weeks start when we have your kickoff details. The care plan starts at signup, so it’s worth sending things promptly, but there’s no penalty.
Can I see it on my own domain before it goes live?
You review it on a private link. It moves to your domain only after you approve it.
What if I already have a website?
We rebuild it from scratch using anything worth keeping (photos, descriptions, your reviews). Your old site stays up until the new one replaces it, so you’re never offline.
Who writes the pages?
We do, from your kickoff answers. You read every word and change anything before launch.
What happens if I cancel later?
After the 3-month minimum, email us and the care plan ends at the end of the paid month. We send you a copy of your site files so you can host it anywhere. Your domain was always yours.
Step one is free and takes a text
Tell us your business name. We’ll build the preview and text you the link, usually within one business day.
