Websites and local SEO - North Alabama

When people search, they should find you first.

Big Idea Forge builds websites and runs local SEO for North Alabama businesses. Built and run by a local operator in Decatur. Not an agency. Not a call center. One person who does the work and answers for it.

EN / ES

Service in English and Spanish. We work with Spanish speaking business owners, and we build Spanish language pages so your customers can find you in Spanish too.

The problem is simple.

Most local business runs on phone calls. Those calls start on Google. If your business does not show up, shows up wrong, or has no website to send people to, the call goes to the next business on the list. That is fixable work. It is the work we do.

Services

Start where you are. Pay only for the next step.

Four steps. You can stop after any one of them. Prices are on the page because they should be.

Monthly Care

The monthly work that keeps you visible. Profiles go stale and reviews go unanswered without it.

$300/mo Care

Core upkeep and reporting.

$500/mo Growth

More pages, more posts, faster pace.

Straight talk on results. No rankings are ever guaranteed. Anyone who promises you the top spot is guessing with your money. What we promise is the work, done on schedule, and a report every month that shows the numbers, good or bad.

How it works

Audit. Build. Grow.

Three steps. Plain words. You always know what happens next.

Step 1

Audit

We look at how your business shows up on Google today. You get the one page report and we talk through it. It costs nothing and it takes a few days.

You decide if there is a problem worth fixing.
Step 2

Build

We build the website if you need one, and we set up your Google presence properly. You approve the site before it goes live. Half up front, half at launch.

Most builds are live in one to two weeks.
Step 3

Grow

Each month we keep the profile current, answer reviews, and add what is working. You get the one page report. Rankings, calls, reviews. No jargon.

90 day start, then month to month.

Proof of work

This is not a new operation. It ships work every day.

Big Idea Forge already runs a full product catalog online. Games, party game bundles, workbooks, and planners, sold in three shops, plus two books on Amazon. The same operation that runs that catalog, daily, is the operation that would run your website.

If we can keep 124 products live, listed, and selling across three platforms, we can keep your Google profile current and your site up to date.

Who it is for

Built for businesses that live on phone calls.

  • Electrical
  • HVAC
  • Plumbing
  • Septic
  • Pressure washing
  • Landscaping
  • Home services
  • Local shops and services

Trades and local services come first. When a pipe breaks or the air goes out, people search and they call the first solid result they see. That moment is the whole business.

It also fits any local business in the Decatur and Hartselle area that gets customers from Google: shops, salons, cleaners, and services of every kind. If your customers find you on a phone, this work matters.

For Spanish speaking owners and businesses that serve Spanish speaking customers, we can run the whole thing in Spanish, including pages your customers can read in Spanish.
