Case Study · AI Web Studio · Local Business

27 Main Street businesses. Rebuilt.

Local businesses live or die on being found — and most of their websites are working against them. We’ve now contracted 27 local businesses and rebuilt their sites with AI: modern SEO, GEO (AI-search visibility), and media baked in, delivered within two weeks of the handshake, then maintained by agents with a human in the loop — for $150/month flat.

How it works

Handshake to live site in two weeks.

1

AI builds the site

What an agency quotes in months, an AI-directed build delivers in days — which is how the whole engagement, deal to delivered website, fits inside two weeks. The owner’s time investment: one conversation and two review passes.

2

SEO + GEO baked in, not bolted on

Every site ships with local SEO fundamentals — schema, service pages, location signals — plus GEO: visibility to AI search (the crawlers and answer engines your customers increasingly ask instead of Google). Main-street businesses are almost never optimized for this. Ours are, on day one.

3

Two revisions — in writing

The hardest-won lesson in the whole practice. Unlimited verbal tweaks kill small-site economics; two revision rounds, requested in writing, keeps every project respectful of everyone’s time — and the owners like the clarity as much as we do.

✓ Process, learned the hard way
4

Published to their domain

The business owns its front door. We publish to their domain, not a builder-branded subdomain they can never leave.

5

Agents keep it fresh

Owners email a change — new hours, a new service, a price update. Agents pick it up, draft the edit, and a human verifies before it ships. Agents also review the sites on cadence. Maintenance costs us almost nothing, which is exactly why $150/month works.

What we observed

Ranges, stated honestly.

A word on the numbers: local businesses rarely run clean analytics — most of these owners had never opened a dashboard before we handed them one. So we report ranges we observed and owners reported, not decimals we can’t defend. It’s the same rule as every study on this site: if we can’t back it, we don’t print it.

+80–200%
Traffic growth per site in the first ~90 days after relaunch — observed across the portfolio.
+15–60%
Revenue lift in the first ~90 days — owner-reported, from businesses that mostly never had a site pulling its weight before.
2 weeks
Deal closed to website delivered — the standard cadence, not the best case.
27
Businesses on the books today — a repeatable, productized service, not a string of one-offs.

Why it works

It’s not big money. It’s a big use case — AI doing real work for real businesses, at a price Main Street can say yes to.

AI does the labor

The build and the maintenance are agent-work with human verification. That’s what makes $150/month viable where agencies need $5K projects.

GEO before their competitors

Local rivals aren’t optimizing for AI search yet. Our clients are answerable by the engines their customers already ask.

Everything in writing

Two revisions, requested in writing. Small-business relationships stay warm when expectations stay written.

Honest ranges only

Owner-reported and observed — labeled as exactly that. No decimals we can’t defend.

Your website should bring you business.

Built, published to your domain, and kept current — one flat monthly price. Two weeks from yes to live.
