Turning Online Visibility Into Competitive Advantage

What is SEO?

Search engine optimization is the practice of improving how your business appears in search results when potential customers are actively looking for your products or services.  By aligning your website’s structure, content, and authority with how search engines evaluate relevance and trust, SEO helps the right audience find you organically.

Why SEO Matters

Unlike short-term advertising, SEO compounds over time. Strong foundations built through keyword optimization, quality content, and local relevance continually generate visibility, traffic, and leads, reducing reliance on paid channels and strengthening your digital presence year after year.

How SEO Creates a Competitive Edge

In markets like Montana, many businesses are still underutilizing modern SEO strategies. This creates a unique opportunity across many industries and locations, where it is often easier for businesses to earn strong search visibility compared to more densely populated or highly competitive urban markets. By taking a strategic, data-driven approach, businesses can quickly establish top positioning in local search results, creating long-term visibility that becomes increasingly difficult for competitors to displace.

A Unique Opportunity for Montana Businesses

Montana’s growing business landscape presents a unique opportunity when it comes to search engine optimization. While SEO strategies themselves are well established, many Montana-based businesses have yet to fully adopt competitive, data-driven SEO practices. This creates less saturation across search results compared to more densely populated or highly competitive urban markets, allowing businesses that invest early to establish strong visibility, credibility, and market positioning before competition intensifies. At the same time, the way people search is evolving. As search engines increasingly rely on AI-driven results, answer-based experiences, and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), businesses that structure their content clearly and strategically gain an additional advantage. For Montana businesses, SEO is not about reinventing the wheel — it’s about applying proven strategies at the right time, while adapting to a changing digital landscape, to secure lasting visibility and growth.

  • Lower competition creates higher opportunity for Montana businesses compared to saturated urban markets
  • Proven SEO strategies applied early to establish visibility before competition intensifies
  • Local-first optimization tailored to Montana cities, counties, and service areas
  • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to support AI-driven search results and answer-based discovery

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

How much does a typical project cost?

Our pricing depends on the scope and goals of each project. Most standard packages, which include branding, website design, Google Business setup, Facebook optimization, and yearly ongoing support, range between $5,000 and $15,000, with smaller projects starting around $3,000.

For custom software or more advanced systems, pricing typically starts around $20,000 and increases based on complexity. Every project is unique, and we provide accurate estimates based on time requirements and each client’s specific needs.

We price according to the national average for senior-level full-stack development, combined with our expertise in marketing, branding, and strategy.

How long does a typical project take?

Project timelines vary based on the scope and level of customization. Most standard packages take about two to three months to complete, depending on our current workload and how quickly we receive client feedback and materials.

More complex projects, such as large-scale websites or custom software solutions, can take six months to a year or longer depending on features, integrations, and overall development needs. We maintain clear communication throughout every stage to keep timelines transparent and realistic.

How does the process work?

Every project begins with an initial conversation or brainstorming session, either in person or over a video call, to better understand your goals and vision.

From there, we create a custom project proposal based on your needs and the details discussed. Once the proposal is approved, we move under contract and collect any necessary materials such as text, photos, or existing branding assets.

After that, development begins, and we provide regular updates, typically weekly, to keep you involved and informed as your project comes to life.

When the project, whether it is a website, marketing system, or custom software, is ready for launch, we handle deployment and ensure everything runs smoothly. For projects that require ongoing support, optimization, or additional customization, we continue to assist throughout the year to keep your systems performing at their best.

What does ongoing support include?

Our ongoing support covers everything needed to keep your website and systems running smoothly throughout the year. This includes content updates, website health checkups, performance optimization, and SEO adjustments to maintain visibility and reliability.

For clients with more robust marketing packages, ongoing support can also include email marketing management, newsletter creation, social media posting, and general digital maintenance to keep your online presence active and consistent.

How do payments and desposits work?

We accept payments online by card or direct bank transfer through Square’s secure payment system, or by check if you prefer.

Typically, we require 50 percent upfront to begin a project and the remaining balance before final delivery of all assets and access.Certain third-party costs, such as domain names, plugins, email marketing platforms, or Webflow hosting fees, are not billed until the end of the project.

This ensures that any changes made during the creative process or added features are accurately reflected in the final invoice.

Do you offer refunds?

If a client makes the initial deposit but decides not to move forward before any work has begun, the full payment will be refunded.

If work has already started and significant time or resources have been invested, a partial refund may be issued depending on how far along the project is. Each situation is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure fairness for both parties.

Who owns the project and its assets?

Once your project is complete and final payment is received, you own full rights to all of your assets, including your website, branding, and custom software.

We typically handle hosting and domain management on our end to support ongoing maintenance and yearly updates. However, if you ever decide to take over hosting or manage your assets independently, ownership remains yours, and we can easily transfer everything to you at any time.
