What the work looks like
Concept website — fictional business; not a client result
A one-page concept for Linden & Slate Painting, built to show the layout, the words, and the inquiry path.
See the example and the reasoning

From the first call to monthly care
Fit call
A short conversation about your business, your area, and whether this fits.
Agree the offer
Which one or two services to advertise, who should see them, and what a good inquiry looks like.
Build and set up
The site, authorized access to the accounts you own, and the counting of inquiries.
Test, then launch
The Search campaign goes live only after you approve the budget and the ads.
Care and review
Agreed site edits, campaign and profile checks, an inquiry review, and one conversation a month that ends with a next step.
One fee. What sits outside it.
The monthly fee covers the site, the Search campaign, the Business Profile, the inquiry review, and our monthly conversation. Advertising spend, setup, and platform costs sit outside it.
Everything included and excluded| Item | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly care | $2,000 per month | |
| Initial setup | $2,000 once | Paid once, before launch; outside the monthly fee. |
| Ad spend | Separate | Paid by you directly to Google; no minimum set. |
| Platform costs | Separate | Domain, hosting and agreed subscriptions, billed separately. |
Both fees are proposals awaiting owner approval; neither is a quote.

A fit call is a short conversation about your business. If the offer will not help you, I say so.
Who this fits, and who it does not
