  • 02Built to make the phone ringCall and text stay in reach of a thumb, on every screen.
  • 03Found on Google, Maps and AISet out so Google and AI tools can read what you do and where.

01 / What you get

A small business site Google, Maps and AI can read.

Both options come with the same six things, built for one business: yours.

  • Built from your own photos and reviews

    Your photos, your reviews, your words. The site is built around the jobs you already do.

  • Made for phones first

    Built for the small screen, then stretched to fit a laptop. Call and text stay in reach of a thumb.

  • Google and AI-search setup

    Page titles, business details and FAQs, set out so Google and AI tools can read what you do and where you do it.

  • Help with your Google Business Profile

    It is the listing people see in Google Maps. I help you set it up and get it verified, and it stays yours.

  • Your domain connected

    Your own web address, hooked up to the site. It is yours to pay, usually $20 to $40 a year.

  • Yours to keep and take with you

    Own it is yours outright: leave any time and take your files. On a plan: leave early by paying out the remaining months of the 12. After that, leave any time with 30 days' notice, your files go with you.

02 / How it works

I build it first. You decide.

Most web jobs start with a price list or a quote. This one starts with a working version of your site you can scroll through on your own phone. If it is not for you, you don't pay a cent.

This website's opening screen on a phone: the headline, the beam of light landing on its node, and the call and text buttons.
This site on a phone. Yours is built the same way, for your business.

Text Josh a question

Or call 0451 306 669. Happy to talk it through.

04 / After launch

Care and Grow, in plain words.

Care keeps the site running and up to date. Grow adds regular work on your Google listing, so there is always something current for people to find.

Free 6 monthsGrow is free for the first 6 months on both options. After that it is $149 a month if you say yes, or it stops. On a plan you then stay on $49.

Care

$49A month

Small jobs that keep the site right.

  • Hosting
  • Small edits, up to 30 minutes a month: photos, prices, hours, text
  • Your site kept up to date and working
  • Cancel with 30 days' notice (after the minimum term on a plan) and take your files

Optional on Own it, included from day one on a plan. On Own it, Care keeps the site online once the free Grow months end.

Grow

$149A month, first 6 free

Everything in Care, plus regular work on your Google listing.

  • Everything in Care
  • 2 Google Business posts a month
  • A review link and QR card for your customers
  • Every quarter: screenshots of what Google and ChatGPT say about you
  • A one-page monthly report

The posts need you to add me as a Manager on your Google Business Profile. You stay the Owner. The review link asks for an honest review, and nothing is ever offered in exchange.

05 / Month by month

Getting found takes months, not days.

I tell everyone this up front, so nobody expects the phone to ring the day the site goes live.

An expectation, not a guarantee. It depends on your trade, your area and how many reviews you collect.

How you will see it: with Grow, screenshots every quarter of what Google and ChatGPT say about you.

  1. 01 / Months 1 to 2

    Roots

    Site live, Google listing verified, first new reviews. Not much change in calls yet.

  2. 02 / Months 3 to 4

    First shoots

    Growth

    Reviews and content build on each other. This is when the phone notices.

Sources and notes

Based on each business's public pricing and trade pages. Not a claim about what any business can or cannot do. My first-year figures leave out your domain, usually $20 to $40 a year; other businesses' domain costs are not shown here. Derived figures multiply the advertised monthly price by 12.

08 / Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Still unsure about something? Text Josh and ask.

Do I pay anything to see my site?

No. I build your site first and send you a private link to look at on your phone. You only pay if you want it to go live: $1,490 once for Own it, or On a plan for $500 to start, then $49 a month (12-month minimum, $1,088 in the first year).

What is the difference between Own it and On a plan?

You get the same site either way. Own it is $1,490 once, and hosting and small edits (Care) are optional at $49 a month. Hosting is included while Grow is free; after that, an Own it site stays online with Care or on your own host. On a plan is $500 to start, then $49 a month with a 12-month minimum, and hosting and small edits are included from day one. That comes to $1,088 in the first year.

What happens if I want to leave?

On Own it, you can leave any time and take your files. If you're on Care, give 30 days' notice. On a plan, leaving early means you pay out the remaining months of the 12. After that, you can leave any time with 30 days' notice, and your files go with you.

Do you guarantee I will show up on Google or ChatGPT?

No. Nobody can honestly promise rankings or results, so I don't. What I do is set the site up so Google and AI tools can read your business: page titles, your services, your area and clear answers to common questions. With Grow, you get screenshots every quarter of what Google and ChatGPT say about you, so you can see what has changed.

Who owns my domain and Google listing?

You do. Your domain is in your name and you pay for it, usually $20 to $40 a year. You set up and verify your Google Business Profile, with my help, and you stay its Owner.

What do you need from me?

A yes, a handful of your own job photos, and a few minutes to read the site and sign it off. Once I have those, it goes live within 7 days. If you choose Grow, you also add me as a Manager on your Google Business Profile so I can post for you. You stay the Owner.

What does Grow do, and what happens after the free 6 months?

Grow is $149 a month and includes everything in Care. On top of that you get 2 Google Business posts a month, a review link and QR card for your customers, quarterly screenshots of what Google and ChatGPT say about you, and a one-page monthly report. It is free for the first 6 months on both options. After that it is $149 a month if you say yes, or it stops. On a plan you then stay on $49.

Who builds it, and do you use AI?

I do. I'm Josh, and I build every site myself. I use modern tools, AI included, and I check every page before it reaches you.

Do you charge GST?

No. I'm not registered for GST, so no GST is charged. All prices are in Australian dollars.

Do you work with businesses outside your area?

Yes. I take on small businesses Australia-wide, by phone, text and a private link to your site.
