Temple is a steady market built around Baylor Scott & White, with real demand for every kind of local business. It's also the most open map pack I looked at.
About 390 searches a month for "plumber near me" and 140 each for roofers and electricians come from inside Temple. Pest control gets about 90, and most of the smaller trades are in the 20 to 40 range.

Temple stands out. Of the 40 businesses shown across four searches, 12 had no website and 5 hadn't claimed their Google profile. For "AC repair", seven of the top ten had no website.

One man, fifteen years of good work and no website. He was paying HomeAdvisor for every lead. Now he's #1 for "drywall repair near me" and quit HomeAdvisor.

Thirty years in Lubbock on word of mouth and no website. The first site the company ever had.
That's the work that gets you found, and it completes the first 90 days.
Once the site is set up, we look at what's working and decide together where the monthly work goes next. Or stop. The site, the dashboard and the account are yours either way.
A local shop's site is $1,500 to $2,500, plus $50 to $199 a month for hosting and care, every month. Your hosting with me is $0. You pay for your domain, about $15 a year.
Usually, yes. A Temple page, done right, can rank because the competition is thin, and the drive is short.
Most of the work is remote, and that's how my clients in other states work with me too. If you'd rather meet once, Temple isn't far from Liberty Hill.
Usually the site is the first thing holding the SEO back, so every project starts there. If yours is already fast and has a page for each service, I'll say so when I look at it, and we'll talk about what makes sense.
The website is $1,500, $2,500 or $4,000 and up depending on its size, then $750 a month for months two and three. After that it's $750 a month if you want to keep going, or you stop and keep everything. The details are below.
Within a day you get a plain answer: what your site needs, which size it is, and what it costs.
