Website design and local SEO for Maine businesses.
We build and improve small business websites so customers can find your services, understand the work you do and get in touch. Based in Maine, we work with independent businesses across the Northeast.
Discuss a projectWhat your project can include
- A clear plan for the site and its pages
- Writing and editing
- Mobile-friendly design and development
- Help getting found in local searches (SEO)
- Service pages that answer common customer questions
- Reports and a list of improvements in order of importance
We’ll agree on the work, cost and timing in your proposal before starting.
Start with the pages customers need.
We plan pages around your services, location and the questions customers ask. We also agree on who will update the site and what it needs to connect to, such as a booking tool.
When this service helps
- Your website no longer reflects the quality of the business.
- Customers regularly call to ask questions the site should answer.
- People nearby struggle to find you online, or contact you for work you don’t offer.
- Simple website changes are difficult or take too long.
Test the actions that matter.
We check menus, reading on a phone, required form fields and whether inquiries arrive. We also check that search engines can reach your pages and read accurate titles, descriptions and business details.
You receive access to the site and instructions for routine updates. We choose the website system with you before building.
A redesign should protect what already works.
Before replacing a site, we review its pages, search traffic and customer actions. A page that already brings useful inquiries may need a clearer layout, not a new address. When URLs need to change, the launch plan should include redirects and checks for broken links.
We look at the pages customers land on, not just the homepage. Each service page should explain the work, where you offer it, what affects the price and how to take the next step.
Local SEO starts with accurate answers.
We review how your services and service area appear on the site and in your Google Business Profile. The work can include page titles, descriptions, internal links, business details and checks that Google can reach the pages.
We agree on the measures before making changes: relevant search visits, calls, completed forms or bookings. Better rankings alone don’t tell you whether the site is bringing the right work.
Questions about websites and search
Do we need to know which website system we want?+
No. We start with what the website needs to do, who needs to update it and how often it’ll change. Then we choose the simplest system that fits.
Can you improve an existing website?+
Yes. Sometimes clearer pages, better wording or a focused rebuild will improve calls, bookings or sales without replacing everything.
What does AEO mean for a small business?+
AEO stands for answer engine optimization. It means organizing your website’s answers so search engines and AI tools can understand them. It isn’t a shortcut or a promise that an AI tool will mention your business.
How much does a small business website cost?+
We quote the agreed work rather than use one price for every site. The main factors are the number of distinct page layouts, writing and photography, booking or store connections, and what needs to move from an existing site. Share your website, goals and budget range so we can recommend a realistic scope. Hosting, software and ongoing support should be identified separately in the proposal.
Does a new website include SEO?+
Our website projects include the search setup agreed in the proposal: page titles, descriptions, crawlable pages, useful service content and checks for mobile use. Local listing work, ongoing content and monitoring may need a separate scope. We explain what’s included before you commit.
Can a redesign affect our existing Google rankings?+
Yes. Changing page addresses, removing useful content or blocking search engines can affect visibility. We review the current pages and available search data, plan redirects where needed and check the important URLs after launch. No redesign can guarantee unchanged rankings.
