Beach Bird Studios

For local businesses

More traffic. More jobs. More control.

Every day your neighbors search for your services. We build the website that gets you found and booked, and the app that keeps the work running smoothly: leads, schedules, your crew, your reviews.

Local business plans

Website

This plan is for any local business that needs to be found and believed.

$400/mo

  • We design your site from scratch, with a page for every service you sell.
  • We build your home and service pages to win calls, plus one page listing your towns if you travel to jobs.
  • We match your site to your brand.
  • Call and estimate buttons sit on every page, on a phone or a desktop.
  • You get a blog and publish your own posts, with short videos and a writing prompt to get you started.
  • Your content roadmap lists what to add next.
  • We set up your Google Business Profile and show you how to add photos, answer reviews and post.
  • New leads reach your inbox the moment they arrive.
  • We host your site, keep it secure and look after your domain.
  • Each month includes an hour with us for updates.
  • No contract. You pay month to month.
  • You own your domain from day one.

Website & App

You get everything in the Website plan, plus the app that runs the work. It is for businesses that serve customers at their location.

$500/mo

  • Every lead from your website lands in one place, and you can add anyone who calls.
  • Your phone gets an alert and your inbox gets an email the moment a lead comes in.
  • All your contacts stay in one list with their history, and you can export it anytime.
  • The calendar shows your whole crew's month, and you can tap any day to see what's scheduled.
  • Repeat jobs stay on the schedule weekly, monthly or on the days you pick.
  • Each person on your crew gets a login and sees only their own jobs.
  • Your crew takes before and after photos on their phones, even with no signal. You can save them to share on your Google profile.
  • A finished job moves to a list of work ready to bill.
  • Mark a job paid and the customer gets an email asking for a Google review.
  • The app installs from your phone's browser, with no app store.
  • No contract. You pay month to month.

Advertising

We put your business at the top of Google, whether or not we built your website. Your ads can be live as soon as seven days after we get access to your Google Ads account.

$500/mo

  • We build, write and run your Google Ads campaigns.
  • We point every ad at the page on your site that matches the search.
  • We manage your keywords and budget every month.
  • Tracking shows you which ads turned into leads. Over time we use that data to cut wasted spend and bring in more calls.
  • We get on a call every month and walk you through a report you can actually read.
  • Your plan covers up to $2,500 a month in ad spend.
  • You start with three months, then go month to month. A campaign needs four to eight weeks before its numbers mean anything.
  • Advertising money is not included. Google bills your card, and you set the budget.

Custom website work beyond the plans

The monthly plans include your service pages, a blog and a contact form. Anything past that is custom work, and we quote it before we start.

Online ordering, gift cards, payments on your site and customer logins are custom work. So are connections to a CRM or scheduling software and a logo or brand guide. We also quote print and social design, video, photography and sites for more than one location.

Your plan includes embeds, like a map, a review widget or a booking tool you already use. If one needs extra design or setup, we quote that part separately.

How We Work

A website build that skips nothing

Four steps take your site from the first conversation to launch, and every step exists because skipping it costs you later. The expensive mistakes are the quiet ones: a domain you do not own, a page Google cannot read, a form that sends leads nowhere. We work through the same checklist on every build so none of them reach you. Your site can be live as soon as seven days after we have what we need from you. We ask you to answer us within a day while the build is running.

01

Discover

We start with what you do and how you do it. Our onboarding questionnaire covers your goals, your services, who your customers are and how you sell, so the copy on your site matches the real thing. We also ask for anything you already have: a logo, brand colors, photos. Then we size up your competitors: what they rank for, what they show people, where they are weak. That sets the scope.

02

Plan

We lay the pages out before anything gets designed. A sitemap: which pages exist and how a customer moves between them. A wireframe of every page: what goes where, no colors yet. A content roadmap: the supporting content for every page, so you know what to add next on your site, your Google profile and your social media. Then the design: your colors, your fonts, and mockups of the key pages with your real photos and copy.

03

Build

We build the site in code, with the publishing system behind it, and connect your domain, hosting and security. Every page gets the work that helps you get discovered: titles and meta descriptions, alt text on images, a sitemap and robots.txt, structured data, fast load times on a phone. Then we test on phones, tablets and desktops across browsers and fix anything broken or slow. Your Google Business Profile and your blog go up at the same time. If your plan includes the app, we set that up for your team at the same time.

04

Launch

We move the site to your live domain, and you are live. Then we stay close: performance, security updates, and how you show up in search. You get short videos on your Google profile and your blog, so a photo, a review reply or a post takes minutes without us. Hosting, security and an hour of changes a month are part of what you pay. When your hours change or you add a service, you call us and we make the update.
