SEO Pro: We Get Local Businesses Found

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing a website to improve its visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). This includes techniques like keyword research, on-page optimization, and link building to help websites appear higher in search engine rankings for relevant keywords.

Our SEO Services

Adding relevant content to your website helps search engines understand what your website is about and helps it understand the content of your pages. When a person searches, the keywords in the content are used to "rank" your website higher in the search results. Helpful content is viewed by Google's bots and more likely to be shown to the person searching.

Because of modern search engine algorithms, it is important to have a unique, descriptive title and clear long tail keywords that help search engines and users understand the content. If we use more descriptive keywords, such as "Santa Barbara, CA web design", then Google will understand that your website is about web design in Santa Barbara, CA.

Relevant images and videos help search engines understand what your website is about and helps it understand the content of your pages. When a person searches, the images and videos are used to "rank" your website higher in the search results. Helpful images and videos are viewed by Google's bots and more likely to be shown to the person searching and also appear as a search result.

This tells Google what your website is about and helps it understand the content of your pages. We tell Google what your business type is

Over 80% of internet traffic comes from mobile devices. We make sure your website looks great and works seamlessly on any device, from desktops to smartphones. Some households don't have a desktop or laptop computer, so it is important to make sure your website works well on mobile devices.

We use clean, concise URL slugs with relevant keywords to make your site more searchable. And again, this helps search engines understand what your website is about and helps it understand the content of your pages.

FAQ

Questions we actually get asked

No fluff, no legalese. Here's exactly how this works so there are zero surprises.

Billing & Payment
Monthly subscriptions are auto-charged to your card on file through Stripe on the same date every month — fully automatic, no invoice to chase down. Lump sum projects are paid via ACH bank transfer to keep processing fees minimal or via checks, PayPal, and Venmo.
Yes. Your site runs on Netlify with SSL, a global CDN, and automatic deployments from GitHub. There's no separate hosting bill, ever.
Since billing is automated via Stripe, a failed payment usually means an expired card — I'll reach out and it's easy to sort out. If a payment fails and I can't reach you after multiple attempts, the subscription may be paused until it's resolved. I'm always flexible when someone communicates with me. The only time things get difficult is when there's no response at all.
Once we've moved into active development, refunds are not available as that time and work can't be recovered. I take on every project intending to deliver something you're proud of, and I won't move forward until you've signed off on the design direction.
Cancellation & Ownership
I'm upfront about this because I'd rather you know before you sign than be surprised later. If you cancel before 12 months, you owe the remainder of what the site would have cost at the lump sum price ($3,800), minus whatever you've already paid.
Example: Cancel at month 4 after paying $700 → you owe $3,100. Cancel at month 10 after paying $1,750 → you owe $2,050.
Life happens and I'm always willing to have a conversation — but the contract exists so neither of us gets taken advantage of.
You keep your domain and any assets you provided (photos, logos, copy). The website code stays with me — think of it like a lease. The service continues as long as the subscription does. If you want to own the code outright, the one-time build at $3,800 is the right path.
There's no buyout option on the monthly plan. The subscription pricing only works financially if it's ongoing. If ownership matters to you from the start, the one-time build is designed exactly for that.
Pages & Edits
Edits are changes to what's already on your site: updating your hours, swapping a photo, changing your phone number, updating a menu, adding a team member, fixing a typo, tweaking a headline. Just email me and I'll handle it — usually within 48 business hours. Edits are not redesigns, new features, or new pages (those are separate). Think of it as: if your business changes, your website keeps up. No extra charge, ever.
No problem — additional pages are a $100 one-time fee each. Your $175/month never goes up. So a 7-page site is $175/month plus a one-time $300 at launch. That's it. No monthly upcharge, no recurring fee per page. Ever.
Just send me an email. No portal, no ticket system, no scheduling a call. You tell me what you need, I handle it and let you know when it's done. I'm a one-person shop — when you email me, it goes directly to me, not a queue in another country.
The Build
Most sites launch within 1–2 weeks from the time I have everything I need from you — your logo, photos, the copy for each page, and any specific design preferences. The biggest factor in timeline is usually how quickly content comes back from the client. The faster you send me what I need, the faster you're live.
Never. Every site I build is custom hand-coded using Astro and React — no templates, no drag-and-drop builders, no WordPress. This means your site loads faster, has no plugin vulnerabilities to patch, and looks like your business instead of a template with your name on it. There's nothing to get hacked because there's no database, no CMS login, nothing for bots to target.
Always. Your domain is yours — I will never hold it hostage. If I registered it on your behalf, I transfer it to you the moment you ask, no matter the circumstances. The same goes for any content, photos, or copy you provided. What's yours stays yours.
Every client site is backed up to a private GitHub repository — your code is never trapped on a single machine. Your site is hosted on Netlify's global infrastructure, which runs independently of me. In a worst-case scenario, you'd have full access to your domain and your site would continue running. I also maintain documentation for every project so any competent developer could pick up where I left off.
Ecommerce & Shopify
No — ecommerce is a fundamentally different project. Setting up a store with products, variants, checkout, shipping, taxes, and payment processing is significantly more work than a business website. Shopify builds are priced separately starting at $2,500.
Horizon ($2,500+) uses Shopify's Horizon theme, customized to your brand. Best for new stores or smaller catalogs — fastest turnaround, fully manageable by you after launch.

Custom Liquid ($5,000+) is a fully bespoke theme built from scratch. No theme constraints, exactly what your brand needs.

Headless ($10,000+) is a Next.js or Astro frontend powered by Shopify's commerce backend. The fastest possible storefront, with complete design freedom. Most Shopify developers can't build this — it's a genuine technical differentiator.
Local & Bilingual
Sí — hablo español con fluidez y puedo construir tu sitio completamente en español, o bilingüe si tu negocio sirve a clientes en ambos idiomas. Entiendo Santa Maria y la comunidad de la Costa Central, y puedo comunicarme contigo en el idioma que prefieras durante todo el proceso.

Yes — I'm fully bilingual and can build your site in Spanish, English, or both. If your business serves customers in both languages, a bilingual site is something I can build into the project from day one.
Yes — I'm based in Guadalupe and serve businesses throughout Santa Maria, Lompoc, Santa Barbara County, and the broader Central Coast. I'm a member of the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Guadalupe Business Association. When you work with me, you're working with someone who actually knows this community — not an agency routing your project through a team overseas.
