Websites & Google profiles for local business

When customers search for you, will they find you?

Most people look a business up on Google before they pick up the phone. Without a website and a Google profile, they can't see your hours, your reviews, or how to reach you. So they call the shop down the street that they can find.

Same shop. Same work. One of them gets the call.

Example

The approach

You already stand for something. Let's put it on the map.

What does your business value? And can a stranger tell from their phone?

Cartography is the craft of drawing a place so someone who has never been there can find their way. That is the job here. Your reputation is already real to the people who know you. I chart it for everyone else.

Every project starts with what you care about, then builds a website and a Google profile that say the same thing in the places people actually look.

Johnston, Iowa · Gym

The Bar Performance Gym

The owner is on the gym floor nearly every day, coaching, not answering email. The site had to do the talking when he can't: who the gym is for, what it costs, and how to join, in one scrolling page a teen athlete and a first-time lifter can both read.

Built: Website + online sign-up
Pricing: Posted openly
Waiver: Signed at sign-up
