01 · What You Get

What you get

Everything a Bellingham service business needs to get found, get trusted, and get the call — built and managed in one place.

Custom-coded website

A fast, mobile-first site of up to 7 pages, hand-built and SEO-ready from day one — no slow page-builder bloat. Website design in Bellingham WA that loads quick and reads like a local. From $5,000 one-time.

Local SEO for Whatcom County

On-page optimization, location pages, and schema so you rank for the searches your neighbors actually make — in Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, and across Whatcom County.

Google Business Profile

We claim, optimize, and actively manage your profile so you compete for the map pack and the 'near me' searches that drive most local calls.

Content that answers buyers

Three SEO posts a month aimed at real Bellingham questions — pricing, permits, seasonal jobs — so you earn rankings that compound instead of fading.

Google Ads when you need leads now

Managed Google Ads for fast lead flow while your organic rankings build. We watch the spend so you pay for clicks that convert, not vanity clicks.

Plain-English reporting

Monthly reporting that shows calls, forms, and rankings — not jargon. You will always know what your small business digital marketing in Whatcom County WA is actually producing.

02 · The Problem

Why most Bellingham businesses stay invisible on Google

Bellingham is a tight market. When someone in the Columbia neighborhood or out toward Lynden searches for a plumber, an electrician, or a cleaner, the three businesses in the Google map pack get the call — and everyone below the fold gets ignored. If you are not in that pack, you are paying for word of mouth and hoping the phone rings.

The usual story we hear from Whatcom County owners: a template site from a national platform that loads slowly, says nothing about Bellingham, and has never ranked for a single search that matters. Or a marketing contract that produced reports full of charts but no new jobs. Meanwhile the WWU crowd, the Fairhaven foot traffic, and the contractors driving up I-5 all find your competitors first.

The fix is not more buzzwords. It is a fast, properly built website that tells Google exactly what you do and where you do it, backed by a Google Business Profile that actually shows up in the local pack — and content that answers what real Bellingham customers are typing.

03 · Proven Results

Proof from a trades business we ranked

We built and ranked the website for Maddog Electric, an electrical contractor, and tied it to a managed Google Business Profile. The result was the kind that matters to an owner: their phone started ringing with the right jobs instead of the wrong ones. The same playbook — a fast custom site, real local SEO, and an active map-pack presence — is exactly what we bring to Bellingham electricians, plumbers, roofers, cleaners, and other service businesses across Whatcom County.
