The hype we hear all the time is that a local business has to spend thousands a month on ads just to get calls. Ads are rent. The day you stop paying, the calls stop. A site that ranks is something you own.

Marcus walks through how it works. First we look at your site the way a customer does, on a phone. On one site we checked, the main picture took 17.6 seconds to show up. Our rebuild of that same site loads it in about one second.

Then we build the whole new site with your logo, your photos and your real business facts, and we host it free, before you pay a dime. What you pay for is the work that gets you found. SEO starts at $800 a month, month to month.

The verdict is smoke. Ads can work, but you don't have to rent your phone calls forever.
