Always included

  • Research of your niche, city, and competitors
  • Page structure planned for users and search intent
  • Design aligned with the StartWebTop visual system
  • Clean HTML/CSS/JS without heavy builders
  • Responsive layout and performance-first execution

Can be added when needed

  • Expanded content for blog, service pages, or case studies
  • Larger local SEO systems with many cities and services
  • Advanced schema and structured data
  • Dedicated landing pages for specific ad campaigns
  • Monthly reporting and strategy sessions

Additional work is always discussed in advance, so you understand where the budget goes and what result it is meant to support.

Who this pricing is designed for

The goal is to build strong business systems, not sell random one-off fixes with no strategy behind them.

Good fit

  • You run a real service business in the US and want more predictable leads.
  • You are ready to invest in a solid website, local SEO, or ongoing promotion.
  • You value clear communication, realistic expectations, and performance-based decisions.
  • You prefer one partner who can handle website work, SEO, and ads together.

Not the best fit

  • You only want a cheap template edit with no strategy or tracking.
  • You are not ready to provide the information needed to build the right system.
  • You are looking only for the lowest price, not for business results.
