Working with us
San Luis Obispo, CA. We work with businesses locally in the SLO area and remotely with clients across California and beyond. Everything is set up for async-first collaboration so location is rarely a barrier.
Small by design. We keep our team lean so you're always working directly with the people doing the actual work — not getting handed off to a junior hire after the pitch.
Small to mid-sized businesses that are serious about growth — typically $500K–$10M in revenue, local service businesses, SaaS startups, content brands, and e-commerce. If you're not sure if we're a fit, just ask.
It starts with a short conversation. We'll learn what you're trying to accomplish, give you our honest read on what we think would move the needle, and put together a scope that matches your goals and budget. No pressure, no padded proposals.
Services
For the most part, yes. Web development, copywriting, SEO, and strategy are all core capabilities. For things like paid ads, photography, or PR, we have trusted partners we can bring in — but we'll always be clear about who's doing what.
Absolutely. We work on retainer, project, or one-off basis. A lot of clients start with one service and expand from there once they see results.
Yes — we work with WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Shopify, and custom-built sites. Builder.io is a tool we use and like, but it's not a requirement.
Keyword research, technical audits, on-page optimization, content strategy, local SEO (Google Business Profile, citations, NAP consistency), and link building. We focus on the things that actually move rankings, not vanity metrics.
Pricing & timelines
It depends on scope. A single landing page rewrite might be a few hundred dollars. A full website build with strategy starts higher. We'll always give you a clear number before anything starts — no surprise invoices.
Yes, and that's often the best value for ongoing SEO, content, or strategy work. Retainers start at a few hours per month and scale from there.
A focused build typically takes 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger or more complex projects take longer. We'll set realistic timelines upfront and stick to them.
Yes — we typically require 50% upfront for project work and invoice monthly for retainers. This keeps incentives aligned on both sides.
