Velloquin Noodle Counter
Hand-pulled noodles, late, in East Austin.
Its old menu was a photo, so search could not read a single dish.

Websites and search listings for local businesses
Websites that keep your business open after you lock up.
Your sign goes dark at closing time. Your website and your listings don’t. They keep answering what people nearby type into their phones: who sells this, are they open, and how do I get there?

What we do
We do the night shift for your shop’s corner of the internet.
Build
A fast website that looks like your shop, not like a template. It opens quickly on a phone and says plainly what you sell.
List
We set up and tune your Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places and the main directories, so you show up when nearby people search for what you sell.
Keep it running
New hours, holiday closures, fresh photos, fixes. We keep it all current, so nothing out there says the wrong thing about you.
Why search matters
When someone nearby searches “barber near me” or “mobile welder”, the search engine shows a handful of businesses on a map, and a short list.
The shops in that handful, with the right hours, real photos and a site that loads fast on a phone, are the ones that get picked.
Missing from it, or wrong in it, and that person walks to a competitor.
What a tuned-up listing is designed to do
Found when someone nearby searches “near me” or “open now”.
Correct hours and directions everywhere people look: Google, Apple Maps, Bing and the directories.
More calls, bookings and visits coming in from search.
A website that turns visitors into customers: what you sell, when you’re open and how to reach you, on a phone’s first screen.
Designed to, not guaranteed. The search engines decide the order, so nobody can honestly promise you the top spot, and we won’t.
Three shops on this block are made up
We invented three local businesses and built each one twice: first the tired kind of website plenty of shops still have, then the one we’d build.
Walk past and watch each one get found. Then step inside both versions.
Thornquist & Abery Metalworks
Gates, railings and mobile welding, out in Del Valle.
Its old site never said “custom gates” or “mobile welding” in words.

Orrisvane Barber Parlour
Cuts, hot-towel shaves and beard work in Hyde Park.
Its old phone number and hours were pictures, invisible to search.
