Get a free website review

Send me your address. I send back one page: what is working, what is not, and the first three things I would fix.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Written by me, in sentences. In your inbox within two business days. Five a week, for local service businesses.

What comes back

One page you can read in two minutes. No charts. It answers the three questions every customer asks before they call.

01

Found

Will people in my town find me?

Where you show up in search and on the map, and where you do not.

02

Trusted

Does this look like a real operation?

Your reviews, your speed on a phone, and what a stranger sees first.

03

Chosen

Will they call me instead of the other guy?

How many taps it takes to reach you, and what gets in the way.

Then the first three things I would fix, in order. Do them yourself, hand them to your web person, or ask me. The review is yours either way.

Three ways a local business website fails

Most service business websites fail quietly. Nobody complains. The phone just rings a little less than it should.

A search magnifier with an empty map pin

It doesn’t show up.

Someone in Round Rock searches for what you do. Your competitor with 400 reviews shows up in the map. You show up on page two, if at all. That search was worth a job.

A funnel leaking visitors out the side

It doesn’t convert.

A visitor lands on your site from their truck at 4:45 on a Friday. No phone number above the fold. A contact form with nine fields. They go back to Google and call the next name.

A browser window with a cobweb in the corner

Nobody touches it.

The site launched three years ago. Hours are wrong. The plugin that runs the form broke in an update. The guy who built it moved on. Nobody is responsible for it, so nothing happens.

A website that avoids all three is not a design project. It is infrastructure, and somebody has to run it.

Found. Trusted. Chosen.

Every customer you have ever won went through the same three steps. They found you, they decided you looked legitimate, and they picked you over someone else. The website has a job at each step.

Found

Will people in my town find me?

Your Google Business Profile, your listings, a page for each service and each suburb, and someone watching the rankings every month. This is local SEO, and most of it is unglamorous.

How local SEO works

Trusted

Does this look like a real operation?

A site that loads fast on a phone. Reviews that keep coming in. License, insurance, years in business, right where people look for them.

How review management works

Chosen

Will they call me instead of the other guy?

A phone number that works with one tap. A short form. Service pages that answer the question they actually searched.

How I build

One system, three phases

I don’t sell a menu. I run one system, and you decide how far into it you want to go.

Phase 1: Build

A fast, mobile-first site with a page for every service and every market, set up for search from day one.

From $4,250
3 to 6 weeks

Phase 2: Protect

Monitoring, updates, your Google listing, your reviews, and a dashboard that shows all of it. This is where most clients live.

$645 a month
$350 for stability only

Phase 3: Grow

Google Ads, Local Services Ads, new suburbs, new markets. Only when the first two phases are stable and you can take the extra work.

Scoped separately

Movement between phases is intentional and reversible. Nothing progresses without a decision from you. See how the three fit together

Who I build for

Local service businesses. The kind where the owner still answers the phone and the truck is the marketing budget.

HVAC, plumbing, and mechanicalSites that surface the commercial work, not just AC repair.

Insulation and home servicesSuburb pages that win the searches in Round Rock and Frisco.

LaundromatsOne page per service line, with pricing people can find.

Restaurants and taproomsFast on a phone, with an events calendar that works.

Storage, RV parks, and propertyA page per property and a form somebody follows up on.

Professional servicesCredentials up front, a way to book, nothing in jargon.

Why one person

Inkbyt is one person by design. Not because it’s small. Because that is the only way I know to make sure somebody is actually responsible for your site.

You talk to me on the call. I build the site. I watch the rankings. I answer when something breaks. There is no account manager, no handoff, no junior designer you have never met.

Everything is in your name. Domain, hosting, files, Google listing. If we ever part ways, you leave with all of it.

Where most clients land

No tiers to decode. Here is what people actually pay.

Growth work is separate and intentional.

Ads, new markets, new service lines. Scoped and priced per project, only when the first two phases are stable.

Ready when you are

Fifteen minutes. I look at your site and your Google listing while we talk, and I tell you what I see. If Inkbyt is not the right fit, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
