I’ve been seeing a lot of local businesses try to figure out how AI actually fits into their day-to-day work.

Not the hype stuff, but simple things like replying to leads faster, creating content, organizing admin work, writing emails, improving websites, or saving time.

Curious for the business owners here:

93% of consumers say online reviews influence their purchasing decision.

For a Charleston homeowner deciding between two plumbers — both with similar prices — the one with more recent, positive reviews wins.

Every time.

If you're not actively collecting reviews after every job, you're handing leads to whoever is.

Myth: The more pages your website has, the higher it ranks on Google.

Reality: One well-built, fast-loading page that clearly describes your service and location will outrank a 20-page site that nobody reads.

Google cares about relevance and speed — not volume.

For local home service businesses in Charleston, a focused 5-page site built correctly beats a bloated 30-pager every time.

Giving away a few free website mockups this week — no strings, no pitch.

Here's exactly what you get: I build a real mockup showing what your business's website could look like. A clean design that looks good on a phone. Something you can actually see and react to — not just a template.

You keep it either way. If you want me to build it, great. If not, it's yours.

I do this for local home service businesses — plumbers, roofers, HVAC companies, landscapers, restaurants, real estate, you name it. If you've been putting off getting a real website or know yours isn't doing anything for you, this is a free starting point.

Drop your business name below and I'll get started on yours.

Most home service businesses in Charleston are playing the wrong game.

They think: more reviews = better ranking.

The truth: *recent* reviews beat old ones every time.

A roofer with 8 Google reviews from the last 30 days will often outrank a competitor with 200 reviews — all from 2021.

Google treats fresh reviews like a live pulse. Old reviews? Dead signal.

The fix is simple: ask every customer the same day. Send them a direct link. Make it a habit.

Takes 30 seconds. Moves the needle for months.
