One monthly price.

Designed for owner-led service businesses.
Built for everyday use.

YOUR WEBSITE, HANDLED

$499/month

No upfront website build fee.

12-month initial agreement.
$5,988 minimum, then month-to-month.

Talk about your website

We'll confirm fit, scope and launch timing together before you commit.

The essentials, taken care of.

  • 01
    A polished, mobile-friendly website

    Up to five pages, tailored to your business using a flexible design foundation.

  • 02
    Hosting, maintenance & technical SEO

    A fast, accessible foundation with clear page structure, search setup and basic analytics.

  • 03
    A clear path from visitor to enquiry

    One contact or booking integration, plus two rounds of revisions before launch.

  • 04
    One hour of small updates each month

    Keep text, images and business details current. Time doesn't roll over; larger changes are scoped separately.

Best for straightforward service-business sites. Ecommerce, custom applications, major rebrands and ongoing marketing are separate scopes. Support is during business hours.

03 / MAKE IT WORK HARDER

A website is the start.
Build from there.

Add the services that solve
an actual problem for your business.

A / GET FOUND+$699/mo

Search Visibility

Help the right people understand and discover your business through search and AI-assisted answers.

  • One location and Google Business Profile
  • One useful new page or substantial improvement each month
  • Search checks, profile updates and an enquiry-focused report
SEO + AEO
What this looks like

A contractor gets a clear repair-versus-replacement guide, built around their actual experience. Another month might focus on a real project story. One deliverable and one revision round per month; no ranking or AI-placement guarantees.

B / KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING+$299/mo

Lead Follow-Up

Give every website enquiry a clear next step, even while you're busy doing the work.

  • Immediate acknowledgment and owner notification
  • One CRM or task destination
  • An approved follow-up sequence, failure checks and reporting
A GOOD FIRST ADD-ON
What this looks like

A cleaning estimate request creates a contact, tells the customer what happens next and reminds the owner to follow up. One enquiry source and one destination, with a volume limit agreed before setup. Reply and booking stop rules depend on the connected system.

C / BUILD YOUR REPUTATION+$199/mo

Review Requests

Make asking for honest feedback a consistent part of finishing a job.

  • One completed-job trigger and location
  • A neutral email request and one reminder
  • Duplicate checks and a monthly activity summary
AVAILABLE AFTER WORKFLOW REVIEW
What this looks like

When a job is marked complete, the customer receives an invitation to share their honest experience. No incentives or filtering for positive feedback. This is a separate workflow, and won't be charged twice if already included in an agreed scope.

LESS REPETITION

Operations Automation

From $599/month

Connect one repetitive process across up to two supported systems. Think accepted estimate to project setup, intake to job record, or a useful weekly report.

Includes monitoring and a small monthly adjustment allowance. Scope, usage and initial term confirmed after a workflow review.

THE DETAILS MATTER

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How does no upfront fee work?

The website build is included in the monthly service. The website plan is $499 per month with a 12-month initial agreement, a $5,988 minimum commitment, then month-to-month. Add-ons have their own agreed initial terms. There is no separate upfront website build charge.

Who is this a good fit for?

Owner-led service businesses, generally under $2 million in annual revenue, that need a strong website and reliable help keeping it useful. We'll confirm the fit based on your goals and scope. Large ecommerce stores, complex portals and extensive custom applications need a different engagement.

What's included in the support hour?

Small changes to existing pages, such as updating copy, swapping images or changing business details. One hour is included each month and doesn't roll over. New pages, redesigns and new functionality are scoped separately before work starts.

What do I own, and what happens if I leave?

You keep your domain, supplied content and customer data. The website is provided as a managed service while your subscription is active. We'll agree cancellation, export and any site-transfer or buyout terms in writing before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Can you move my existing website?

Yes, we can review your current pages, content and integrations and plan a rebuild. The scope includes checking important URLs and redirects, forms and analytics before launch. The original site stays in place until the replacement is ready.

Can you guarantee Google rankings or AI recommendations?

No. Search Visibility focuses on sound SEO, useful content and clear business information. We measure discovery and enquiries where the data allows, without promising a particular ranking or an AI recommendation.

Will AI make decisions or contact customers on its own?

Early internal-tool projects focus on finding approved information or preparing drafts for review. Automated customer follow-up uses an agreed workflow and approved messages. Important decisions remain with your team.

Are software and usage costs included?

Website hosting is included in the website plan. Third-party subscriptions, SMS or AI usage, and advertising budgets may be additional for add-ons. We'll identify the tools and agree a budget and limits before setup. Where possible, accounts and billing stay in your name.
