The short answers
The four questions almost everyone asks first.
The full answers are further down. These are the versions you can read in ten seconds.

What does it cost?
Single builds $2,500 to $8,000 and up. The Foundation package $12,000 to $17,500.
- 02
How long does it take?
Phase one live in 3 to 4 weeks. The full Foundation, up to six months.
- 03
What do I own?
All of it: domain, hosting, website, ad accounts, analytics and logins.
- 04
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. You stay because the work keeps paying for itself.
Sound familiar?
You asked an agency what it costs, and got a meeting instead.
- The website
“Pricing: contact us for a custom quote.”
- The discovery call
“It depends. Let’s schedule a strategy session.”
- The second call
“Our senior partner will walk you through the investment.”
The number shouldn’t take two calls.
Our ranges are on this page and on every service page. Where you land inside a range depends on scope and how competitive your market is, and you get a fixed number after the review, not after a second call with a closer.

Prices, in one place
Two tiers. Don’t mix them up.
The Foundation package covers all four pillars. Single builds are one pillar at a time, priced on their own pages.
$12,000 to $17,500
Website, local search, ads and tracking as one build. Local SEO after launch $800 a month and up, hosting and support $350 a month and up, both optional.
$2,500 to $8,000+
A website or a local SEO build on its own, usually 4 to 8 weeks.
$1,500 to $3,000
Per platform, or $3,000 to $5,000 and up for Google and Meta together. Ad budget separate.
Questions people ask sideways
Three things owners want to know but rarely ask outright.
Usually phrased as “so what’s the catch?”
- The catch
Will you upsell me ads?
Not until your page can turn a click into a call. Before that, ads just spend faster.
- The catch
Will you rebuild a site that works?
No. Roughly one review in five ends with us saying keep the site you have.
- The catch
What if we part ways?
You keep the domain, the ad accounts and every login. Nothing is ours to hold back.

Every question
Frequently asked questions.
What does the Foundation package cost?+
The build itself is $12,000 to $17,500, paid once. Two optional monthly lines come after: local SEO from $800 and hosting with support from $350.
Can I buy just a website or just local SEO?+
Yes. Single builds run $2,500 to $8,000 and up and usually take 4 to 8 weeks, priced on each service page.
How long does the Foundation take?+
Your site and tracking are live within 3 to 4 weeks. Search and ads layer on over roughly the next six weeks, and the full build wraps inside six months.
How soon will I see results?+
Ads can bring leads within weeks. Local SEO compounds over 3 to 6 months. We set expectations for each channel before you spend anything.
Do you require a long-term contract?+
No. Nobody gets locked in here. If the work stops paying off, you’re free to go, accounts and all.
Who owns the website and accounts?+
Your business, from the first login. Domain, hosting, ad accounts and analytics get registered to you as we set them up.
Who will I work with?+
Me, Ervin. I run the strategy and the build myself. There’s no account manager in between and nothing gets outsourced.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?+
Mostly local and service businesses across Metro Detroit and Michigan, like contractors, med spas and permanent makeup studios, that treat marketing as a budgeted line item.
Who isn’t a fit?+
Three groups: owners with no capital set aside yet, anyone after the cheapest and fastest option, and businesses that only want a site to exist. All fair needs, just not what we build.
Will you tell me not to buy something?+
Often. If your current site is fine, we say so, and if your page can’t convert yet, ads wait.
What do you need from me to start?+
Access to your website and accounts, your business details, and a clear picture of what you want more of. We handle the strategy and the build from there.
What does AI visibility cost?+
The mini-audit is free, a full audit is $750, the done-for-you Tune-Up runs $1,500 to $3,000, and optional Monitoring is $300 to $800 a month.
What we turn down
Answers we won’t give.
- No “it depends” without a range
- No guaranteed rankings
- No second call to get a price
- No promise we can’t show you
The ownership promise
The answer to “who owns it” never changes.
Every account we open for you is opened under your business, so the question never needs asking twice.
