Your Website Might Be Online… But Is It Working *for* You?

Your Website Might Be Online… But Is It Working *for* You?

If you’re not sure what your site is doing — or *not* doing — for your business, let’s talk. We’ll help you figure it out and handle all the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Let’s be honest — if you run a small business, you already know you need a website. It’s not optional anymore. But most business owners we talk to don’t know what actually makes a website work — like, really work — to help your business grow.

Many of you may have fallen into the trap of having a niece/nephew/neighbor who "knows how to do websites." But... Do they know how the industry works and how to implement best practices into YOUR business?

These kinds of websites are the ones we inherit the most. Will Strohl, CEO & Founder

You probably think of a website as something you just need to check off your to-do list. Launch it, and move on. But a working websiteone that brings you leads, customers, and brand credibilitydoes a lot more than just “exist.”

Meme: Spongebob, checking of 'nothing' on the to-do list

Here’s the truth: most websites aren’t pulling their weight. That’s why we’re here.

Behind the Scenes of a High-Performing Website

You might not see everything we do, but it’s the work behind the scenes that turns a website into a true growth tool. Here’s just a taste of what we’re doing to make your business look better, rank better, and work better.

  • Your Content Actually Shows Up on Google
    • We make sure your titles and headlines are keyword-rich & in the right places.
    • We set up your metadata (that “invisible” info Google looks at) with the right words and phrases to help people find you.
  • Everything Just Works
    • Broken links? Outdated pages? We find and fix them before your customers do.
    • We keep your site updated and healthy so you’re never embarrassed by what someone might click on.
  • Your Brand Looks Sharp — Everywhere
    • We add OpenGraph tags and Twitter Cards so that when someone shares your site on social media, it looks intentional and branded.
    • We make sure your logo and icons show up in search results, browser tabs, and bookmarks.
  • Your Site Works Toward Your Business Goals
    • Every page should be leading somewheremore calls, more purchases, more visits.
    • We help you think through what your site is really for, then we shape your content to match that.

Most People Don’t Think About This Stuff — But We Do

That’s why our clients love working with us. You don’t need to know how to do all of this. You just need to know that someone’s doing it — and that it’s done right.
