About AlbaTech Services
and why owners call us after the last agency.
We help Michigan business owners fix the marketing foundation their last agency skipped. Straight to the point: I fix your marketing leaks, I fix what’s broken, and I hand you every login. A one-person shop in Birmingham, where you work directly with me.

Why AlbaTech exists
We kept meeting owners who’d paid for marketing and couldn’t say what it did.
Since 2016 the story has barely changed. A laptop slides across the table: a site that looks fine, ranks nowhere, and belongs to someone who stopped answering emails. These are the four versions we hear most.
- 01
Strategy that was only a PDF
A plan nobody built. We plan it and build it, so the strategy and the work sit in the same place.
- 02
The agency that disappeared
A team at the kickoff, silence after launch. Here you talk to me.
- 03
Reports full of impressions
Reach and engagement instead of calls. We track leads, calls and bookings.
- 04
Logins held hostage
A site, domain or ad account the owner couldn’t get back. Everything we build is yours from day one.
How we think
Problems into products.
- Our own studio
“Fine Strokes needed to be found. We built its foundation first, on our own money.”
- Our own site
“Visitors had questions after hours. We built AlbaTech AI Chat.”
- At home
“A problem we had at home became BrightStep.”
We run it on ourselves before we sell it to you.
Fine Strokes is our own permanent makeup studio, and it sits first for “microblading Michigan” in the result we publish. AlbaTech AI Chat is the widget in the corner of this page. BrightStep is our own learning app. Each one started as a problem we had, and each one is labeled as ours wherever we mention it.
I don’t sell SEO anymore. I fix your foundation, and the search results follow.
How we work
Four things you can count on, every project.
- 01
A free 30-minute call first
We look at your website, your local search and your tracking, and you keep the ranked fix list whether you hire us or not.
- 02
A fixed price, published ranges
Our prices are on the site. You get a fixed number before anything starts, not after a second call with a closer.
- 03
The foundation in order
The site before the ads, tracking before the spend, and phase one live in 3 to 4 weeks.
- 04
Handed over, documented
Every account, login and playbook in your name. Keep us for upkeep, or run it yourself.
Proof, before the pitch
Real evidence should survive an incognito window.
Result one
A Troy med spa we relaunched, already winning its market.

The person behind the work
The person you meet is the person who builds it.
No junior account exec inheriting your project after the kickoff. You work directly with me, no account manager, nothing outsourced.
Ervin Kalaj
Started AlbaTech in 2016 to give owners marketing they could actually measure. Builds the systems: websites, local search, ads, tracking and the automations behind them. The face on the call and the one accountable for the result.
What we refuse, in writing
Three positions that cost us work.
Turning work down publicly is the part other agencies won’t copy.
- Order
No ads before the page converts
Paid clicks to a page that can’t turn them into calls just burn the budget.
- Honesty
No rebuild you don’t need
About 1 in 5 of the sites we review end with us telling the owner not to rebuild.
- Ownership
No work you can’t take with you
No hostage domains, ad accounts or logins. It’s yours or we don’t build it.
An honest receipt, about our own name
Searching “albatech” doesn’t put us first. We say so.
There are other businesses called Alba Tech. In our own Search Console, “albatech services” puts this site at 4.8 and plain “albatech” at 7.8, and neither turned into a click over 90 days. That’s the kind of number most agencies wouldn’t publish about themselves. We’d rather you see it.
- “albatech services”: 34 impressions, position 4.8
- “albatech”: 57 impressions, position 7.8
- This page: 121 impressions, 1 click
Our client proof is in the band above: captured Google results, not described ones.

Common questions
About AlbaTech.
Who will I actually work with?+
Me, Ervin. I run strategy and the build myself, so you work directly with me, no account manager, nothing outsourced.
Where are you based?+
Our office is at 33277 Woodward Ave in Birmingham, Michigan, and we’ve worked across Metro Detroit since 2016.
What does working with you cost?+
Single builds like a website or local SEO run $2,500 to $8,000 and up. The full Foundation package is $12,000 to $17,500. You get a fixed number on the call.
Who isn’t a fit?+
If you’re just starting out and capital is tight, or you want something cheap and quick, or you only need a site to point people at, we’re not the right call yet, and there are people who serve those needs well.
The fit test
We’re not for everyone. Here’s the line.
- Not for owners shopping for the cheapest option
- Not for a site that only needs to exist
- Not for overnight results on a tiny budget
- Built for owners who treat marketing as a budgeted line item
The ownership promise
No hostage accounts. No mystery handoff.
Your domain, hosting, website, ad accounts, analytics and documentation stay in your name. If we stop working together, nothing gets held over you.
Who we work with
Based in Metro Detroit. Built around the businesses here.
One next step
Let’s have a real conversation about your business.
Thirty minutes with Ervin. No pitch, no pressure. We look at where you are, tell you what’s working and what isn’t, and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
