How to Rank Higher in Google Maps for Maine Businesses
A Practical Strategy to Outrank Local Competitors When two businesses offer the same service in the same town, why does one show up in Google Maps while the other doesn’t?It…
I build websites for businesses in every industry. What changes is what goes on the site. A landscaper’s customers search by season and by town, a realtor’s look you up by name after a referral, and an association’s members come looking for a notice or a form. The industries below are examples from real client work: a sample of what I build, not a list of who I build for.
Customers search by season and by town. The site has to be ready for spring cleanups in March and plowing in December.

Homeowners and general contractors want to see the equipment, the jobs you take on and how far you’ll travel.

Big-ticket jobs get compared. Reviews, before-and-after work and a quick way to book an estimate decide who gets the call.

Most visitors already have your name from a sign or a referral. The site has to confirm you know the town and make it easy to reach you.

Trust is the product. People want to know who they’ll deal with, what you handle and how to get started.

Members, ratepayers and families come looking for something specific: a notice, an event date, a form. It has to be easy to find.

I build websites for any industry. If your customers look you up before they call, the same approach works whatever you do.

A conversion-focused WordPress site with a clear call to action on every page, local SEO built around the services and the town, and an optimized Google Business Profile.
“It didn’t take long after the page was up and running to notice the increase in new customer inquiries!”

The first call is about your customers. Whatever you do, we start with how your customers find and choose a business like yours. For the trades on this page, I’ve already built sites for Maine businesses doing that work.
Content drafted for you. Tell me what the business does and I’ll write the first draft for you to correct. That’s faster than a blank page, and it keeps the site in your voice.
Built to be found locally. Service pages, town pages and your Google Business Profile work together, because that’s how people in Maine find a local business.
One person, start to finish. You deal directly with the person building your site. No account manager relaying messages, and no ticket queue.
No. I build websites for any industry. The ones on this page are examples from my client work, not a limit on who I work with. Auto body, retail and coaching sites are on the Projects page too.
No. Discovery starts with how your customers find and choose a business like yours, whatever the trade. For the industries on this page, I’ve already built sites for Maine businesses doing that work, so that part goes quickly.
That’s the normal starting point. Tell me what the business does on the first call and I’ll draft the copy for you to correct, which is faster than writing it from scratch. I’ll also tell you which pages genuinely need photos and which don’t.
No. A brochure site is $175 a month and a growth site $275, with nothing down, whatever the trade. Builds that need something extra, like member areas for an association, are custom and quoted per project.
Yes. I live and work in Maine, but I also serve clients throughout the U.S.
