Transparent Pricing. No Monthly Trap.
You Own Everything.

Most projects go from first conversation to live site in three to four weeks. You'll get a specific timeline before you commit to anything.

The timeline depends on your project's scope. A 10-page Foundation site moves faster than a Local Authority site with 10-20 city pages across two states. You'll get a specific timeline before you commit to anything.

Rush delivery is available if you need to move faster — typically 5-7 business days for an additional 25-50% of the project fee. But we won't cut the audit short to hit a deadline. A delayed launch beats a broken one every time.

Your current site stays completely live while we build the new one. Your customers won't notice anything until you're ready to switch. If you're working with another agency right now, that's fine too — their work continues separately.

The new site gets built on a private preview link you can visit anytime. When everything is approved and the audit is complete, switching over takes a day. Your old site stays backed up as long as you want.

If you have content you like — service descriptions, photos, marketing copy — it becomes a starting point. Nothing goes to waste. We build on what works and replace what doesn't.

Everything. The code, the content, the design, the domain, the hosting account — it all belongs to you. This isn't a platform you're renting. It's a finished product you own outright.

If you ever want to work with a different developer, they can pick up right where we left off. The site is built on open web standards that any competent developer can read, edit, and maintain. No proprietary lock-in. No special software required.

Think of it like hiring a contractor to build a house. When the job is done, you get the keys. You can repaint, renovate, or hire someone else for future work. The house is yours.

Everything. Here's the complete list:

Your domain name — registered in your name, with your email as the account owner. Your hosting account — set up under your credentials. You control it. Your complete website code — every file, every page, delivered to you. Your content — all copy, images, and media we created for your project. Your analytics — Google Analytics, Search Console, and any tracking tools are set up under your accounts. Your complete technical foundation — everything under the hood that helps Google and AI understand your business.

If you ever want to move to a different developer, hand them the files. They can pick up where we left off. No export fees. No transfer delays. No proprietary format they can't read.

We don't keep copies of your site after handoff unless you ask us to manage hosting. Your project, your property.

Your site launches with your full service territory covered — 20 or more city pages, a content strategy mapped out, and everything optimized for Google and AI from day one. That's a finished build you own outright.

After launch, most Dominant Presence clients add one of our SEO management tiers to keep the momentum going. Growth ($1,500/month) adds 4 content pieces per month — city pages, blog posts, or a mix — plus AI visibility monitoring, page optimizations, and detailed monthly reporting. Mastery ($3,000/month) doubles the content volume and adds strategy calls, conversion testing, and priority support.

But ongoing management is never required. Your site works whether you add SEO management or not. See the full tier breakdown at /services/seo-management.

Yes. Our SEO management tiers are built for businesses that already have a website — whether we built it or someone else did. Three tiers starting at $500 per month.

Visibility covers GBP management, keyword tracking, technical health monitoring, and a monthly performance report. Growth adds city pages, blog content, page optimizations, and AI visibility monitoring. Mastery is full-service with strategy calls, conversion testing, and priority support.

We audit your current site first and tell you straight whether it's a solid foundation to build on or whether structural fixes are needed. See the full breakdown at /services/seo-management.

Yes. Foundation gives you the research, the content, and the technical foundation. If you later want city pages, analytics setup, or Google and AI search optimization, we can add those without rebuilding your site from scratch.

Most upgrades from Foundation to Local Authority involve adding city pages and setting up your analytics and search engine tools. The core site is already built right — the foundation is solid. We're adding rooms, not tearing down walls. Upgrade pricing depends on scope, but it's always less than starting from scratch.

That said, starting with Local Authority is usually more cost-effective if you know you need local market coverage. Building everything at once is more efficient than adding pieces later. We'll be honest about which path makes more sense for your situation.

Deep research, real strategy, and technical depth that actually makes Google rank you higher and AI recommend your business. Every project starts with market research before a single word is written. Content in your customers' language. A technical foundation built for search engines and AI. City pages with real local detail — not a template with the city name changed.

A $500 website is a template with your logo swapped in. It loads. It looks okay. When Google or AI tries to understand your business, it finds nothing useful. No trust signals. No local depth. No strategy behind any of it.

You're not buying a website. You're buying the research, the strategy, and the technical depth that turns a website into a business that gets found and gets called.

Yes. Foundation is split 50/50 — half on signing, half on delivery. Local Authority and Dominant Presence are split into three payments — 50% on signing, 25% at content approval, and 25% at launch.

We accept bank transfers, credit cards (3% processing fee applies), and checks for local clients. No hidden fees. No surprise invoices three months in.

If you add SEO management after launch, billing starts the month after your site goes live. You're not paying for ongoing work until the site is up and running. SEO management is month-to-month after the initial commitment — you stay because the work is worth it, not because a contract forces you.

The first 30 days after launch are covered in Local Authority and Dominant Presence. Search engines need time to discover your site. AI platforms need time to update their understanding of your business. That rollout gets monitored so nothing gets stuck.

After that, you have options. Some clients handle their own updates — the site is built so any developer can maintain it. Others choose SEO management for ongoing content, new city pages, and performance tracking — three tiers starting at $500/month. See /services/seo-management.

But ongoing management is never required. Your site works whether you hire us again or not. No mandatory maintenance contract. No required monthly fee. Host it yourself or let us manage it for you. If you want to walk away with your files and never call us again, that's your right. It's your site.

If you have an internal team that handles tech and marketing, Foundation gives you the research, content, and technical foundation they need to work with. Your team takes it from there.

If you want a site that's ready to generate business from day one — with city pages, analytics, and search engine setup included — Local Authority is where most clients land. It's the complete package for business owners who want to invest properly and see results.

If you want maximum coverage from day one — 20+ city pages, a launch content strategy, and a growth roadmap ready at launch — Dominant Presence is the build. After launch, you can add SEO management to keep expanding. Most Dominant Presence clients do.

Not sure? Run your site through our free AI Visibility Checker. The results will make the decision obvious.

We don't do refunds after work has started — because the work is real and it starts immediately. Your research, your content, and your technical foundation take significant time to produce. That's not something we can undo.

But here's what we do instead. You approve every stage before the next one starts. If the research doesn't look right, we fix it before writing content. If the content doesn't sound like you, we rewrite it before building. If the finished site doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't go live until it does.

You're never surprised with something you didn't ask for. The entire process is designed so problems get caught early — not discovered after the check clears. And you own everything we produce, regardless.
