Websites for local businesses that customers actually find.
Web design, branding, and the Google and AI search setup that gets the site found. Built together as one project, not stitched together from four different vendors.
Two recent builds, both live.
Single-page sites at $799 for local service businesses.
It's rarely a marketing problem. It's a systems problem.
Effort isn't usually what's missing. What's missing is one plan connecting the pieces. Here's where that shows up.
Your site, brand and marketing were built by three different people
Each piece made sense on its own. Together they send mixed signals, and buyers read that as risk.
Costs you: trustFindability was bolted on after the site was built
Search visibility comes from structure, not from adding keywords at the end. And now buyers ask AI assistants too. If your content isn't structured to be quoted, you're invisible in a channel you can't see.
Costs you: qualified trafficEvery lead depends on someone remembering to follow up
The enquiries arrive. Then they sit, because responding, qualifying and staying in touch is all manual.
Costs you: closed dealsFour disciplines, designed together.
Not four vendors coordinating over email. One team, one plan, one set of decisions.
A website that earns trust before the first call.
We design for the decision a buyer is actually making. Is this business credible, and can they solve my problem? Structure and hierarchy do the work; decoration doesn't.
- Information architecture planned before design starts
- Fast, accessible, mobile-first build
- Lead capture and conversion paths designed in
Say what you do clearly enough that people repeat it.
Positioning first, then identity. If a buyer can't explain your value in one sentence after visiting your site, the brand isn't finished.
- Positioning and messaging you can actually use in sales
- Logo, color, type and component system
- Written standards so it stays consistent
Get found in Google, and quoted by AI assistants.
Classic SEO gets you into search results. Answer Engine Optimization gets your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI overview who to call. They share most of the same work, so we do both. It's a one-time technical setup delivered with your site, not a monthly retainer.
- Site structure, technical health and internal linking
- Full JSON-LD schema so engines can read your business
- Question-and-answer content built to be cited
- Included in every build, with no ongoing SEO contract required
Follow-up that happens whether or not anyone remembers.
Automation attached to a real workflow, with a human checkpoint where judgment matters. Not novelty. Fewer dropped leads and faster response times.
- Instant lead response and routing
- Review requests and reminders on autopilot
- Human review points built into every workflow
Three ways to start. Add only what you need.
Pay once for the website. On-site SEO and AEO setup is built into every build and is never a monthly charge. Add Google setup or ongoing monitoring only if they're genuinely useful.
We design your homepage first. You pay nothing to see it.
You'll see your actual designed homepage, not a mockup or a mood board, before you commit a dollar. Approve it and we take 50% to build the rest. Don't approve it and you walk away owing nothing.

About SEO + AEO: every build includes the full on-site technical setup: site structure, JSON-LD schema, metadata, internal linking and question-and-answer content written to be cited by AI assistants.

Get a Custom QuoteWe put the risk on our side of the table.
Trust shouldn't rest on adjectives. These are commitments you can hold us to. Every one of them is checkable before you spend anything.
You see it before you pay
On Foundation and Growth System we design your real homepage first, at our cost. If it isn't right, you owe nothing and keep your money. We take the risk that we've understood you correctly.
You own everything, always
Source code, content, domain, analytics, Search Console and Google Business Profile are all in your name. Nothing is held on a platform you can't leave, and you never need us to keep the site running.
No contract, no lock-in
SEO and AEO setup is one-time and included. Monitoring is month-to-month and optional. There is no agreement that traps you into a monthly fee to keep what you already paid for.
One person, start to finish
You work directly with the strategist and designer building your site, not an account manager. If something goes wrong you're talking to the person who can actually fix it.
Prices published, scope in writing
Every price is on this page. Page counts, revision rounds, delivery windows and support periods are agreed in writing before work starts, so "out of scope" never becomes a surprise invoice.
Accessible by default
Every build targets the WCAG 2.2 AA baseline: real contrast ratios, keyboard operability, semantic markup and reduced-motion support. It's a quality standard, and it reduces your legal exposure.
One thing we won't do: invent proof. VeroWeb Co. is early, and we'd rather say so than publish testimonials we wrote ourselves or logos we have no right to show. Client work will appear here as it ships, and you'll be able to click through and judge it yourself. Until then, judge us on the free homepage. It costs you nothing and tells you more than a testimonial would.
Four reasons to pick us over the alternatives.
We're not the cheapest and we're not an agency with layers. Here's exactly what you get instead, and where we're not the right fit.
Design and findability start together
Most shops build the site, then hand it to an SEO firm to retrofit. Structure, content and schema are search decisions. We make them while designing, which is the only time they're cheap to make.
You work with the person doing the work
No account manager relaying messages to a production team. You talk to the strategist and designer building your site. That limits how many projects run at once, which is why timelines are weeks, not months.
Built to a published standard
Every decision traces back to a documented design system covering colour, type, spacing, accessibility and motion. Not one person's taste on the day. That's why your site stays consistent as it grows.
Priced in the open, scoped in writing
Prices are on this page. Page counts, revision rounds, timelines and support windows are all stated before you commit. No discovery call required just to learn what it costs.
| VeroWeb Co. | DIY builder | Template shop | Traditional agency | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up-front cost | $799–$5,400 once | $0–$200 | $1,000–$2,500 | $8,000–$35,000+ |
| Who designs it | The strategist you talk to | You do | Template + production staff | Team behind an account manager |
| SEO + AEO setup | Included, one-time | Not included | Usually an upsell | Often a monthly retainer |
| Timeline | 1–5 weeks | Your evenings and weekends | 2–4 weeks | 2–4 months |
| See it before you pay | Free homepage design | N/A | Deposit first | Paid discovery phase |
| Who owns the result | You own the code and every account | Platform locks you in | Varies; often licensed | Usually you |
| Best for | Businesses that want one connected system | Pre-revenue and hands-on | Speed over strategy | Large teams and complex scope |
Where we're not the right fit: if you need enterprise-scale scope, a large in-house team to coordinate with, or the absolute lowest price available, a traditional agency or a DIY builder will serve you better. We'll tell you that on the first call rather than take the project.
Four steps. No mystery about where your project is.
Diagnose
We review your current site, brand and search visibility, then tell you plainly what's working and what isn't, before you commit to anything.
Free · 30 minutesSee your homepage
We design your actual homepage and show it to you. Real design, real copy, not a mood board. If it isn't right, you owe nothing and we part as friends.
Free · no commitmentBuild
Approve the homepage, pay 50%, and we build the rest. Fast, accessible and search-ready from the structure forward. Schema, copy and tracking go in as we build.
1–5 weeksLaunch & optimize
Final 50% at launch. We watch what real visitors do and refine based on behavior. Optional monitoring keeps it that way.
OngoingYes. On Foundation and Growth System we design your actual homepage with real layout, real copy and your brand, then show it to you before you pay anything. If you approve it, we invoice 50% and build the rest of the site, with the balance due at launch. If you don't approve it, you owe nothing and you're free to walk away. Starter is a single-page build, so it runs on the standard 50% deposit instead.
Starter is $799 one-time for a single-page site. Foundation is $2,950 one-time for up to 12 pages. Growth System is $5,400 one-time for up to 30 pages plus a full brand system, Google setup, and one automation workflow. All three include on-site SEO and AEO setup, copywriting, and full source code. Larger or more custom scope is quoted per project.
No. What's included in every build is the on-site SEO and AEO technical setup: site structure, JSON-LD schema, metadata, internal linking and question-and-answer content. That's a one-time implementation delivered with your website, not a monthly retainer and not an ongoing SEO contract. The optional Website Monitor subscription ($395/month) is a separate service for monitoring, reporting and content updates after launch. You're never required to subscribe to anything.
Yes. Once the project is paid in full you own the source code, the content and every account we set up, including analytics, Search Console, Google Business Profile and domain. Nothing is held on a platform you can't leave, and you don't need us to keep the site running.
You work directly with the person doing the strategy and design work, not an account manager relaying messages. That's a deliberate limit on how many projects run at once, and it's why timelines are measured in weeks rather than months.
Three steps. The first two cost you nothing.
No pitch deck, no pressure, and no commitment until you've seen real work.

Approve it, and we build
Happy with it? 50% starts the build, balance at launch. Not happy? You walk away owing nothing.
