The problem

Online, but not built to be found.

Almost every established contractor already has a website. The question is not whether it exists — it is whether it is structured so Google, Maps, an AI-assisted answer and an actual customer can all work out what you do and where you do it.

Every service on one page
Ten trades in a bulleted list. Nothing to rank, nothing to link to, nothing for a customer to land on.
No dedicated service pages
The work you most want more of has no page of its own, so it competes with everything else you do.
Weak service-area information
Where you actually drive, and how far, is a genuine buying question buried in a footer line.
Missing LocalBusiness structured data
Nothing tells a search system, in a form it can read, what the business is or how to contact it.
Poor title, H1 and meta structure
Every page titled "Home | Company Name". Same heading, same description, no signal.
No obvious call to action
The visitor has decided to call and cannot find the button.
Missing click-to-call
A phone number set as plain text, on a device whose only job is making phone calls.
A weak or broken contact form
Eleven fields, no validation, delivering to an inbox nobody has checked since 2023 — or delivering nowhere at all.
Slow builder-generated pages
Megabytes of unnecessary browser code between a customer and your phone number.
A poor mobile experience
Designed on a laptop for an audience holding a phone one-handed.
Inconsistent business information
The name, number, hours or coverage differ between pages — and differ again from the Google Business Profile.
Profile and website telling different stories
The Business Profile lists services the site never mentions, and the site claims towns the profile never covers.
Content that stopped in 2019
Services you no longer offer, a truck you no longer own, and a copyright date that quietly dates the company.

The problem is not the logo on the website builder. Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Duda and WordPress all host plenty of sites that work. The problem is whether the website is structured to produce business.

The Alden approach

Six steps. No discovery deck.

The same sequence every time, because the order is what makes the foundation hold.

Understand the business
One call. The services you actually want more of, the communities you really serve, what makes you credible, and what the current site is failing to do.
Build the search structure
Important services get real pages. Geographic coverage is organised logically and legitimately. Business information is made consistent everywhere it appears.
Build it fast
Custom architecture, primarily static HTML, minimal unnecessary JavaScript, and a mobile experience designed for the phone your customer is holding.
Connect the local signals
Google Business Profile alignment, legitimate location or service-area information, structured data, Search Console, sitemap and indexing.
Turn visitors into leads
Visible phone numbers, click-to-call, estimate requests, reviews, trust signals and a call to action that is never in question.
Manage it
We host, maintain and monitor the site through Managed Website Care, so the foundation stays sound after the invoice is paid.

Selected work

Three builds. Full size, not thumbnails.

The actual homepage of each one, desktop and phone — not a corner cropped to flatter it. All three are demonstration companies, built end to end to the standard a paying client gets, and all three are live to click through.

Plumbing

Stillwater Plumbing Co.

Plumbing you don’t have to think about.

A dark editorial identity for a residential plumbing company, built around one promise: good plumbing work should barely interrupt your house.

01Before / after sliderThree real job types, dragged with a thumb. Contractors love showing work and have never had a good way to do it.
02Scroll-linked service stageEight services in one list, with a photograph that follows both the cursor and the scroll position.
03Owner and crew storytellingA section built for the thing that actually beats the franchise down the road — the owner’s face.
04Sticky mobile conversionA call / request bar that appears after the hero and steps aside when the form arrives.
05Eight full service pagesEach one written properly, with its own FAQ schema and its own pricing explanation.

HVAC

Truevane Heating & Air

Your house should have one temperature.

A precision-instrument identity for a residential HVAC company, with three interactive tools that turn a confused homeowner into a qualified call.

01Repair or replaceFour questions, honestly scored. It will tell a homeowner to keep the system they have — which is exactly why the leads it does produce are good ones.
02Comfort controlA slider that moves from too cold to too hot, changing the room tint, the readout and the copy to a different real complaint at each stop.
03System ageFour decade bands with candid guidance. The replacement lead generator that never lies to anyone.
04Problem selectorSeven symptoms, straight to the right page, no form in the way.
05Maintenance membershipRecurring revenue presented as a membership card rather than a price list.

Electrical

Wrenfield Electric Co.

Every circuit in your house should be boring.

A drafting-sheet identity for a residential and light-commercial electrical contractor, built around the two questions homeowners actually arrive with: what is this thing my house is doing, and will my panel take it?

01Symptom routerNine things a homeowner can actually observe, each turned into an explanation, an honest urgency and the right page. A real tablist with arrow keys — and every panel renders server-side, so it still works with JavaScript off.
02Load estimator“Will my panel take it?” answered properly: service size, floor area and what is already electric, against the rating with the 80% line marked. It says on screen that it is an estimate and that a permit needs the real calculation.
03Claims gated in configLicence number, certifications, dealer status and star rating are all null and marked do-not-invent. The site renders the blank and explains it rather than filling it in.
04Ten written service pagesRepair, breakers, panels, EV chargers, generators, surge, lighting, devices, rewiring and commercial — each with its own scope, pricing explanation and FAQ schema.
05A safety page with no instructionsWhat to do first, the seven symptoms that mean stop and call, and an explicit statement that this site will not tell you how to work on a live circuit.

The upgrade

Same business. A foundation that can be found.

Eight structural decisions that separate a website which exists from one that produces work.

One "Services" page listing everything you do
A real page for each service you want more of, written to stand on its own
Service area implied by a city name in the footer
A legitimate service-area structure built on the communities you genuinely serve
No structured data, so search systems have to guess
LocalBusiness and service markup stating who you are, what you do and where
Website and Google Business Profile disagreeing with each other
One consistent local identity across the site, the markup and the profile
A page-builder template shipping code nobody needed
Custom built and rendered as lightweight HTML, fast on a phone on 4G
The phone number as plain grey text in a corner
Click-to-call, a call bar that follows the visitor, and an obvious next action
A twelve-field form delivering somewhere nobody watches
A short form, validated, delivered where you will see it, and monitored after launch
Launched, invoiced, and never looked at again
Managed Website Care keeping hosting, indexing and the form healthy

Search and AI

Search is changing. The fundamentals aren’t.

People find local businesses through traditional Google results, through Maps, and increasingly through AI Overviews and other AI-assisted search experiences. All of them are answering the same question: which business here is real, relevant and easy to understand?

Google’s own guidance is that its AI search experiences are built on its existing search systems and ordinary SEO fundamentals. There is no secret markup for AI, no hidden switch, and anyone selling you one is selling you nothing.

What we make unambiguous

Who the business is
Name, ownership, credentials and contact details, stated the same way everywhere they appear.
What services it provides
Each meaningful service on its own page, described in the words customers actually use.
Where it legitimately operates
Your real business location, or your genuine service area if you do not receive customers on site.
How the services relate
Categories, sub-services and internal links, so the shape of the business is visible rather than inferred.
How to make contact
Click-to-call, forms and hours, consistent across the site and the Business Profile.
Why it can be trusted
Real reviews, real work, real credentials — presented, never invented.

AI-powered search still needs trustworthy, crawlable information about your business. We build that foundation correctly instead of chasing shortcuts — and we will never claim to control what Google, ChatGPT, Gemini or anyone else decides to say.

Why local service businesses

The specialisation is the feature.

Local service search has its own rules. Building for it every day is why the structure is right the first time.

The call is the conversion

Not a newsletter signup, not a PDF download. Everything on a local service website should be measured against whether the phone rang.

Search happens on a phone, in a hurry

Your customer is standing in a wet room holding a phone one-handed. That is the primary layout and the primary performance target, not a responsive afterthought.

Services are how people search

Nobody searches for your company name until they already know it. They search for the job. That is why the job gets its own page.

Service areas are real, and they have rules

If you do not receive customers at your premises, Google expects the address hidden and the service area used. We build it the way it is actually supposed to work.

Consistency is a ranking fundamental, not a detail

When the site, the markup and the Business Profile all say the same thing, there is nothing left for a search system to be unsure about.

Owners do not want a CMS

You are not going to log in and edit pages. We stopped pretending otherwise, and Managed Website Care exists because of it.

Managed Website Care

Launch isn’t the end of the relationship.

We host the site, keep the technical foundation healthy and handle the routine website work — so you can run the business instead of learning another dashboard.

Local Launch$79/month
Local Growth$129/month
Local AuthorityFrom $199/month

Billed monthly. Starts at launch. Paired with the build — it is how the site stays healthy, not a separate hosting product.

Kept running

High-performance hosting on the same infrastructure the site was built for
SSL certificates issued and renewed
Uptime monitoring
Deployments and version history, so any change can be rolled back
Backups
Domain and DNS assistance when something needs to point somewhere new

Kept healthy for search

Sitemap and indexing health checked, not assumed
Structured data maintained as your services and details change
Search Console monitored for coverage and crawl errors
Technical maintenance — performance, redirects, broken links, mobile issues
Business information kept consistent across the site as it changes

Kept earning

Form and lead-delivery monitoring, so a silently broken form is caught by us and not by a lost customer
Click-to-call and contact paths verified after every change
Reasonable copy and photo updates, according to your plan
Technical support by email when something looks wrong

Where it stops

Content changes are the routine kind — text edits, new photos, updated hours, a changed phone number, small additions. A new service section, a new set of pages or a redesign is scoped separately, at the build rate.
Care is not a monthly SEO campaign. Ongoing keyword research, content programs and link work are separate engagements if you want them.
Advertising spend is not included, and neither are third-party SaaS, API or SMS charges — those are billed by whoever provides them, in your name.
No ranking, placement or lead volume is guaranteed. Care keeps the foundation sound; it cannot promise an outcome that Google and your market decide.

Who this is for

An upgrade for a business that already works.

This is not a starter website for someone who has not taken their first call yet. It is a rebuild for an established local service company whose online foundation is holding it back.

A good fit

You already have a website, a phone number and a Google Business Profile
You have real customers, real reviews and real revenue
You are an owner-operator or a small team, and you answer for the work
You want more of a specific kind of job, in specific communities
Your current site is an underperforming Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Duda, GoHighLevel or aging WordPress build

Not a fit

You want 40 city pages for towns you do not serve
You want to pay on results, or expect a guaranteed ranking
You want a store, a booking calendar that takes payment, or a customer portal
You have not started trading yet and need something for $200

What we build

The build, the care, and the work behind the lead.

The local-search website is the flagship. Managed Website Care keeps it sound. The rest is what happens after someone presses the button.

Pricing

Three starting points, not a menu.

Every project is scoped on a call before a number is final. Each build launches onto Managed Website Care, so the monthly cost is on the card rather than in a footnote.

Local Launch

An established local company that needs a professional, search-ready foundation.

From$1,995

Starting at. Final number comes after one call.

Managed Website Care$79/month

The core build. A fast custom site with your real services on real pages, your service area described honestly, and the technical work underneath it finished properly.

Custom website — designed for your business, not a template with your logo dropped in
Around 5 core pages
2–3 service pages, chosen for the work you actually want more of
Local structure: your legitimate business location or service area, described consistently
Technical SEO foundation — titles, headings, descriptions, canonicals, sitemap, robots
LocalBusiness structured data so search engines can read your business, services and contact details
Google Business Profile alignment guidance so the profile and the site tell the same story
Google Search Console connected, sitemap submitted, indexing checked
Click-to-call and a lead form that actually gets delivered
Copywriting for every page, launch and handover

TimelineUsually live inside a week once photos and content are in.

Local Growth

An established contractor who wants several valuable services and markets covered properly.

From$3,495

Starting at. Page count follows the business, not the tier.

Managed Website Care$129/month

The tier most established local service businesses should be buying. Every service you want more of gets its own page, the service area is structured instead of implied, and the whole thing is built to convert the call.

Everything in Local Launch
Deeper custom design work
Roughly 10–15 strategic pages, depending on the business
Around 5–8 meaningful service pages, each written to stand on its own
Stronger service-area architecture built on the communities you genuinely serve
Internal linking strategy so services, locations and proof reinforce each other
Conversion architecture — call bars, estimate paths, trust signals in the right places
Reviews and credibility integration using your real Google reviews
Deeper structured data across services and pages
Expanded Search Console and indexing setup

TimelineTwo to three weeks, mostly waiting on your photos.

Get a free website review

Local Authority

Established operators, larger service areas, competitive markets, or a much bigger search footprint.

From$5,995

Starting at. Scoped per project.

Managed Website CareFrom $199/month

For companies whose search opportunity is genuinely large — many services, many communities, or a competitor set that has already done the work. Built out to match, with nothing padded to hit a page count.

Everything in Local Growth
Deeper service architecture — sub-services, categories and the relationships between them
Broader legitimate location and service-area content for the communities you actually work in
20+ strategic pages where the business and the search opportunity justify them
Expanded conversion paths for different job types and urgency levels
Custom integrations where scoped — CRM, scheduling, quoting, review tooling
More substantial migration and content work from an older or larger site
Advanced technical implementation and performance work

Not included

Manufactured city pages for towns you do not really serve
Additional Google Business Profiles for locations that do not legitimately exist

TimelineThree to five weeks, scoped in writing before anything starts.

Good to know

Every project is scoped and quoted before any work begins. These are starting points — the page count follows the business and the real search opportunity, never the tier name.
There is no checkout on this site on purpose. You get a call, a written scope and a Stripe invoice — 50% to start, 50% at launch.
Managed Website Care starts at launch and is billed monthly. It covers hosting, the health of the technical foundation and routine website work. It is not a monthly SEO campaign and it is not an advertising budget.
No one can guarantee a search ranking, and we do not. We build the foundation correctly and keep it healthy; Google decides placement.
You own your domain and your content, and everything we publish about your business is information you gave us and stand behind.

About

Jordan Bressler — Founder

We came to this from the systems side, not the design side.

Alden Sites grew out of our software, data and automation work. Clients kept asking us to solve the website too, so we built a dedicated service for local businesses that need serious development without hiring an internal technical team.

That background is why the offer looks the way it does. Most of the work before this was systems: Linux, APIs, workflow engines, self-hosted infrastructure, and a lot of time spent making tools that were never meant to talk to each other talk to each other.

It turns out that is exactly what a local service business needs. The website is the visible part, but what decides whether you win the job is whether the structure underneath it is sound, whether search systems can understand what you do, and whether the lead reaches a human quickly.

So we build both halves and then keep them running. We work with a small number of businesses at a time, which is why the reference builds on this site are finished properly rather than there being twelve half-done ones.

What that covers

Custom web development
Local search architecture
Technical SEO
Structured data
Performance engineering
Copywriting for the trades
Workflow and automation design
Linux and self-hosted infrastructure

FAQ

The questions worth asking before you buy.

A custom-built, fast website whose structure is the product: a real page for each service you want more of, a legitimate service-area structure, consistent business information, structured data, technical SEO, Search Console and indexing setup, conversion paths that lead to a call, hosting, and Managed Website Care afterwards. It is a rebuilt technical foundation for how your business appears online, not a redesign.

No, and nobody can. Anyone who guarantees a position is either lying or planning to do something you will regret. What we can do is build the foundation that search engines and AI-assisted search rely on — clear services, legitimate geography, consistent information, structured data, speed and crawlability — and keep it healthy. Google decides placement.

Google’s own guidance is that its AI search experiences run on its existing search systems and ordinary SEO fundamentals. There is no special "AI SEO" markup to buy. What helps is making your business unusually easy to understand: what you do, where you legitimately work, how the services relate, how to contact you and why you can be trusted. That is exactly what we build. We do not control any third-party model and will not pretend to.

Not by itself. Plenty of businesses do fine on all of them. The problem is almost always structural — every service on one page, no service-area information, missing structured data, inconsistent business details, a slow mobile experience and no clear next action. We fix the structure, and building it custom is how we get the speed and control to do that properly.

Only if it belongs there. A storefront or a place customers actually visit gets its real address aligned across the site, the structured data and the Business Profile. If you run from home and do not receive customers there, Google expects that address hidden and your service area used instead — so that is what we do. No virtual offices, no invented locations.

Hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, deployments and version history, backups, technical maintenance, form and lead-delivery monitoring, sitemap and indexing health, structured-data maintenance, Search Console monitoring, domain and DNS help, technical support, and the routine copy and photo updates your plan covers. It is not a monthly SEO campaign, and ad spend and third-party SaaS or SMS charges are not included.
