A custom site built to rank, not just to look good
We build fast, SEO-first websites for Maine service businesses. You own it outright, the call tracking and analytics are wired in before launch, and you can keep us on for ongoing SEO if you want the leads to grow.
You own the site, and it is built to rank. We build a fast, SEO-first website you own outright, with call tracking and analytics wired in before it goes live. We quote each build, because the work depends on your business. Want the leads to keep growing? Add an optional monthly SEO plan.
Who this is for
This is for the business that wants to own its website. Some owners would rather rent one of our ranked sites and just take the calls. That is a great way to start and you can read about it on the rentals page. But plenty of owners want the asset in their own name. They want a site they control, that they can sell with the business someday, that no one can take away.
If that is you, a custom build is the right call. You get a real website, built properly, that you own from day one. We are happy to keep ranking it for you, but you are never locked in. The site is yours either way.
What you get
Three things every build includes, no add-on pricing games.
Built to rank. A site that looks sharp is the easy part. We build for speed and for how Google reads a local-service business. Pages load fast, the service pages are nested the way search engines expect, and the on-page SEO is done while we build, not bolted on later. The structure is the foundation that lets the site climb.
Call tracking and analytics. A local tracking number rings your existing phone, and every call is recorded for your monthly report. Analytics are set up before launch so you can see your traffic, your top pages, and where the calls are coming from. You will know whether the site is working, because the proof is right in front of you.
You own it. Your domain, your content, your site. When it is done it is yours. You can keep us on for SEO, move it to someone else, or run it yourself. There is no rental fee and no contract holding the keys.
Our process
We keep it simple and we keep you in the loop the whole way.
- Intake. We learn your business, your services, the towns you cover, and what makes you the one to call. If you have photos and reviews, great. If not, we sort that out.
- Build. We design and write a site that is unique to you. No template you will recognize on another contractor's page. We handle the copy, the images, the structure, and the on-page SEO.
- Launch. We wire in call tracking and analytics, put the site live on your domain, and submit it to Google and Bing so it starts getting found.
- Ongoing SEO, if you want it. Owning the site is the start. Ranking past your competitors takes steady work month after month. Keep us on a monthly plan and we keep pushing the rankings up. It is optional, and you can stop anytime.
How this differs from renting
Both options put the phone in your hand. The difference is who owns the website. With a custom build, you own it. The site is your property and your asset, and we are a service provider you can keep or let go. With a rental, we own and rank the site and you pay a flat monthly rate to take the calls it produces, with nothing to build and no asset to maintain.
Renting is faster and cheaper to start, because the site already exists and already ranks. Building is the move when you want to own the thing outright. Neither is wrong. Tell us your goal and we will tell you straight which one fits. If you are weighing it up, the rentals page lays out that side, and the pricing page shows how the lead and rental options compare.
The short version
If you want to own a fast website that is built to rank, with call tracking and analytics already in place and an optional SEO plan to keep growing, a custom build is it. We quote each one. Tell us about your business and we will send a flat number with no surprises.
Custom build questions
Do I own the website or are you renting it to me?
You own it outright. The custom build is your site, your domain, your content. That is the whole point of this option. It is the opposite of our rentals, where we own and rank the site and send you the leads. If you want to own the asset, this is the path.
What does a build cost?
We quote each build, because the work depends on how many service pages and locations you need, whether you already have photos and copy, and how much we are migrating from an old site. Tell us about your business and we will send a flat quote with no surprises.
How long does it take?
Most builds go live in two to four weeks once we have your business details and photos. A bigger site with a lot of service and location pages takes longer. We give you a real timeline in the quote, not a guess.
Will the site actually rank, or just look nice?
It is built to rank. Every page is fast, the structure follows how Google reads a local-service site, the service pages are nested properly, and the on-page SEO is done at build time. Ranking past that still takes ongoing work, which is why we offer an optional monthly SEO plan to keep it climbing.
Do I have to keep paying you after launch?
No. You own the site and you can walk away the day it goes live. Most owners keep us on for monthly SEO because that is what moves the rankings over time, but it is optional and there is no contract holding you to it.
Can I see my calls and traffic?
Yes. Call tracking and analytics are wired in before launch. You get recorded calls and a plain monthly report showing your traffic, your top pages, and where the calls came from. No guessing whether the site is working.
