Website Design

A professional website for $97 a month

Most small businesses either pay a large build fee up front or put off having a website at all. Here it is one flat monthly price: we build a website of up to 5 pages for your business with no build fee, then host it, keep it updated, and register the domain in your name. It is built for phones first, with click-to-call and a contact form that sends every request to you, and it is billed through Local Advertising & Marketing like everything else.

FAQ

Website Design questions

What does the website cost?
$97/month, and that covers everything: building the website (up to 5 pages), hosting, your domain, and basic updates. There is no build fee and no contract.
How many pages do I get?
Up to 5. Most service businesses use home, services, about, service area, and contact. The privacy and terms pages are included on top of that.
What counts as a basic update?
Changes to what is already on your site: hours, services, the prices you choose to publish, photos, wording, and contact details. Bigger work, like an online store or more than 5 pages, is quoted case by case before anything is done.
Who owns the domain?
You do. It is registered in your name. If you cancel, the website comes down and the domain stays yours.
Can I add the front desk later?
Yes. The automated front desk answers the calls you miss, books appointments, and replies to texts, chat, and email. Website plus front desk is $394/month, and you can switch anytime. See the front desk.
Do you build websites for businesses outside the Black Hills?
Yes. Websites are built, hosted, and updated for businesses anywhere in the United States. Planning happens over calls and email.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, by email, with no contract. The website comes down when the service ends, and the domain stays in your name.
Pillar 1 · Advertising is an asset

Advertising is an investment, not just an expense.

The IRS treats advertising as an ordinary and necessary business expense under Internal Revenue Code §162 — meaning it is 100% deductible in the year you spend it (per Publication 535). Unlike trucks, equipment, or furniture, you do not depreciate it over five or seven years. Every advertising dollar reduces your taxable income the same year.

  • Tax-favored capital deployment. A $10,000 truck depreciates over 5+ years. $10,000 in advertising deducts in full this year. After tax, every $1,000 of ad spend effectively costs $700–$750 in most brackets.
  • Builds brand equity over time. The audience you reach this quarter is still in your retargeting pool next year. Brand recognition compounds. Cost per acquisition typically falls in year 2+ as the audience warms.
  • Recorded as goodwill at sale. When a business is acquired, the brand premium is recognized as a real intangible asset (§197). The value was always there — selling the business just makes it visible on the balance sheet.
  • Pausing has a long tail. Businesses that stop advertising "for one quarter to save money" usually see results lag 2–3 quarters afterward — not from the pause itself, but from the equity that bled out during it.

Pillar 2 · Diversified channel portfolio

One channel is fragile. A portfolio is durable.

Putting an entire ad budget on one platform is the marketing equivalent of putting an entire 401(k) into one stock — it might work, but it is exposed. A diversified mix across complementary channels reaches more of your audience, hits the 5–7 exposure threshold consumers need before they act, and protects against single-platform risk.

  • No single channel reaches everyone. Facebook, Google, radio, CTV — each touches a different slice of your market at different times of day. A diversified mix covers more of the day, more devices, and more decision contexts.
  • Effective frequency without burnout. Stacking radio + audio + search + retargeting + geofence delivers 6–8 weekly touches across fresh contexts — without one channel becoming repetitive enough to annoy.
  • Channels compound each other. Radio raises branded search volume — making Google Ads cheaper. Display retargeting converts better on audio-warmed audiences. Geofencing converts better when followed by search. The portfolio is worth more than the sum of its channels.
  • Platform-risk reduction. Algorithm shifts, ad-account flags, CPM spikes, policy changes — any of these can cut a single-channel program off overnight. Diversification means a bad month on one platform is tolerable, not a crisis.
  • Full-funnel coverage. Every channel does a different job: brand-equity (radio, streaming audio, CTV), audience-building (geo, social, display), and conversion (search, retargeting, email). A real plan funds all three layers.
