If you’re a small business owner, you already wear a hundred hats. You’re managing customer service, operations, finances—and somewhere in there, you’re supposed to market yourself too. You know your business needs a better online presence, but every “affordable website” you’ve seen ends up costing more than you expected… or delivers less than you need.
At Found Local Marketing, we believe small businesses deserve websites that work—without breaking the bank.
Our process blends affordable website design, local SEO, and CRM integration (using our own platform, Growio) to help small businesses turn traffic into leads and leads into paying customers.
Let’s break down exactly how we do it—step by step—so you can see how your next website can become your hardest-working employee.
Step 1: Discovery & Onboarding
We start by getting to know you. Our first meeting isn’t about features or pricing—it’s about your business.
We’ll ask:
- What services do you offer?
- Who is your ideal customer?
- What makes your business different?
- What do you want your website to do for you?
Then we help you fill out a simple onboarding form to collect basic info, photos, service lists, and any existing branding. This gives our design and copy team what they need to start building your custom website foundation.
• Pro Tip: You don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Step 2: Content Strategy & SEO Planning
Once we understand your goals, we begin outlining your site content. We focus on clear, conversion-driven messaging that speaks directly to your ideal customer.
We also:
- Identify high-value local SEO keywords
- Plan your site structure (home, services, about, contact, blog, etc.)
- Create location-specific service pages to help you rank in Google
- Write copy that’s friendly, searchable, and gets results
We combine human storytelling with search optimization so that your site attracts the right traffic—and helps them take action.
Step 3: Custom Design for Your Brand
This is where the magic starts to take shape.
We don’t use cookie-cutter templates. Every Found Local website is custom-designed to match your brand vibe—whether you’re a modern contractor, a cozy boutique, or a trusted local service provider.
Each site is:
- Mobile-optimized (since 70%+ of users are on their phones)
- Lightning fast (slow sites = lost sales)
- Built with conversion psychology in mind (calls to action in the right places)
We use clean, bold layouts and real photos (not stock images) whenever possible. And we make sure your contact forms, Google Maps integration, and quote request buttons are easy to find—on every page.
Step 4: CRM Integration via Growio
Here’s where most web designers stop… but we’re just getting started.
With every Found Local website, we integrate Growio—our all-in-one CRM and automation platform that’s designed to work for you while you work on your business.
You’ll get:
- A chat widget that captures leads instantly
- Text and email automations to follow up with inquiries
- A calendar system to book appointments directly from your site
- And a lead dashboard so you can track every visitor, call, and message in one place
Think of your new site like a digital storefront… and Growio as your full-time front desk team.
Step 5: Revisions & Launch
We’ll present the draft site for your review and work closely with you on revisions. Our process includes:
- Two rounds of design/content edits
- Speed & mobile testing
- Final SEO tweaks (titles, metadata, alt tags)
Once approved, we go live—either on your existing domain or on a new one we help you register.
We also take care of:
- Connecting your Google Business Profile
- Installing analytics
- Creating backups
- And hosting + SSL security through our platform
Step 6: Ongoing Support & Optimization
Your website isn’t a one-time project—it’s the foundation of your digital marketing engine.
After launch, we can continue supporting you with:
- Local SEO to improve your Google rankings
- Review generation tools
- Lead tracking dashboards
- Blog content for ongoing growth
- And social media or ad services to drive traffic
You’ll never wonder what’s working. With Growio, you’ll see it in your pipeline.
