What we do
Four things, done properlyWe build your website
A fast, clean site that shows what you do and gets people to call.
People find you on Google and ChatGPT
We build or fix your Google listing, the one people see in Maps. People now ask ChatGPT for a recommendation the same way, so we make sure the places these tools read from all say the same correct thing about you.
An AI receptionist answers your phone and your website
You are busy on a job. A missed call goes to the next name on the list. Our AI receptionist is trained on your business and your services. It picks up, takes the job, books it into your calendar, and texts them back. A chat bot does the same on your website.
We manage your reputation
Your happy customers get a one-tap link to review you on Google. Your rating climbs, and we answer every review so your page always looks cared for.
We show you where your customers are coming from
Most owners have no idea which half of their marketing works. We set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console properly on your site, so every month you can see the actual searches people typed, the towns they called from, and the pages that turned into work. That is what tells us where to push next.
How it works
Intro call to launchWe are not a boutique agency and we do not charge like one. We spend the time to learn how your business actually works, then build only what it needs.
Intro call
We talk about your business and what is in the way.
Build
You see the plan first. Then we build while you work.
Launch
Three to four days after you approve it, your site is live with the tools switched on.
Care
We keep it running and send a simple report.
What comes next
We keep working together. As the business changes we add the tools it needs, and we tell you when you do not need one.
Packages
No setup fee on the annual planPreview in 48 hours. You see your website, working, before you pay a dollar. Built around your business, never a template.
As many calls as it takes. You review the site live with the Akrodos team, and we shape it together until it is right.
You flip the switch. Nothing goes live and nothing is billed until you are comfortable.

* About the pricing and profit review. This is management consulting: we work on how you price and cost your own jobs. Akrodos is not a financial advisor, investment adviser, accountant or tax preparer, and nothing we provide is investment, tax, accounting or legal advice. We do not manage money, recommend investments, prepare or file returns, or audit your books. For any of those, use a licensed professional. Scope and price are agreed in writing before we start.
You carry none of the risk
In writing, every timeSee it first
A working website, built around your business, within 48 hours of the call. Before any money changes hands.
Pay nothing until you are happy
Nothing goes live and nothing is billed until you say the word. If you walk away at the preview, you owe us nothing.
Leave whenever you like
Month to month, no notice period. Pay for the year and we refund the whole months you have not used. *
It is yours
The website, the words in it, and the domain, registered in your name from day one, not ours. You take it all with you.
* One thing about the free build. If we waived your build fee because you paid for the year, and you stop inside the first six months, that fee comes out of your refund. Stay past six months and it is yours for good. Everything else about leaving is exactly as it reads above.
How this compares
The three ways people goSwipe to compare
| Akrodos | A freelancer | A full-service agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $99.95 to $749.95 a month, or $1,199.95 to $7,499.95 for the year. Published on this page | Quoted per job, and it moves | Commonly $3,000 to $10,000 a month, on a retainer |
| Before you commit | A working site in 48 hours, free | A mockup, sometimes | A paid discovery phase |
| Who you actually talk to | George, the person who builds it | One person, when they are free | An account manager |
| Who owns the domain | You, in your own account, from day one | Frequently registered in theirs | Frequently registered in theirs |
| Small changes | Unlimited small edits, included, no ticket * | Billed hourly, when they get to it | A change request and a queue |
| Contract | Month to month, cancel any time | None, and no support either | Commonly twelve months |
| How you know it worked | A plain-English report, every month | You do not | A long PDF nobody reads |
* Small edits means your words, your photos, your prices, your hours, your staff, a new service page. A whole new website, or a second one, is quoted separately so you always see the number before anything starts. Month to month or year to year, cancel any time.
The freelancer and agency columns describe what owners most often tell us they had before us, not any firm in particular. Plenty of freelancers and agencies are excellent. The point is what to insist on, whoever you hire.
Our work
Real clients, live sitesA new website and digital presence for a workspace products brand: home office, corporate office and education.
Read the case study →You will know exactly what is working
Every month, in plain EnglishNo dashboard to learn, no login to remember. One short report and one call. Here is what is in it.
Where the calls came from
Which towns, and whether they found you on Google, in Maps, or by asking an AI assistant for a recommendation.
What people actually typed
The real words that put you in front of someone, on Google and in the AI assistants people now ask instead. Usually the most surprising page of the report.
What is bringing you work
Which services and which pages turn a visitor into a phone call, and which ones are just sitting there.
Which towns to go after next
The areas where people are already searching for what you do and you are not showing up yet. That becomes the target list, and you approve it on the call.
The searches people type are a map.
This is the part most owners have never had. More of those searches start in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini every month, and those assistants build their answers out of the same places Google reads.
When the data shows people two towns over keep asking for the exact job you do best, and you are nowhere in the answer, that stops being a mystery and becomes a plan: which town, which service, which words, this month.
Behind it: Google Analytics and Google Search Console, configured properly around your business and your service area rather than dropped in and forgotten, alongside your Google Business Profile, and we watch what the AI assistants say about you too. We do the reading. You get the answer.
“We are extremely pleased with the Akrodos redesign of the Anna Sobol Levy Foundation’s website. The final result looks great and the process was easy and painless. Akrodos provided key guidance on the organization and functionality of the website … We heartily recommend Akrodos to any small business with web development needs.”
You will not be handed to an account manager. I will fight for you and your business. I will be your thought partner.

Questions owners ask
Straight answersWhat does it cost?
Care plans start at $99.95 a month plus a one-time build fee, $249.95 at our launch price. You get an exact price on your call, in writing.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once you pay, it is all yours, and your domain is registered in your name from day one.
I already have a website.
Good. We will check it and tell you: fix or rebuild.
Do you write the content?
Yes. We write every word. You approve it first.
What do you need from me?
One call, a few answers, your logo and photos.
What happens after launch?
We host it, update it, and send a simple report.
How long does it take?
You see a working preview of your site within 48 hours of the call. Once you approve it, your site goes live in three to four days. The only thing that stretches that is waiting on your photos, your approvals, or a domain transfer. The build itself is not the slow part.
How do I know it is working?
Every month you get a plain-English report. It shows the searches that found you, the towns your calls came from, and which pages are actually bringing in work. If something is not working we say so and we change it.
Can you take over from whoever built my site?
Yes, and we do it often. We move the website, the domain and the email across without downtime. We do not need your old developer to cooperate, and we will tell you honestly whether the existing site is worth keeping.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. The care plan is month to month. If you want to leave, you take the site with you.
If I pay for the year, can I still change my mind?
Yes. Paying for the year is a discount, not a lock-in. If you want to stop, tell us and we refund the whole months you have not used. One thing to know: if we waived your build fee because you paid for the year and you stop inside the first six months, that fee comes out of the refund. Past six months it is yours for good. Either way you keep the website, the words in it, and the domain.
What happens to my site if I stop paying?
You keep it. Your domain is already registered in your name, and we hand over the website and its content. Hosting, security and the AI tools switch off, because those are the running costs, but nothing of yours is held hostage.
Is my website accessible?
We build to the common standard: real text rather than words baked into pictures, headings in the right order, everything reachable by keyboard, and color contrast that passes. It is the right thing to do, and it happens to be what Google reads too.
Does the AI receptionist sound like a robot?
It sounds like a person and it says it is an assistant. It will not pretend to be you, and anything it cannot handle goes to you as a message.
What if a customer asks it something odd?
It takes a message and tells them you will call back. It is built to hand over rather than guess.
I am not on Google Maps at all.
Then that is the first job. A verified listing is usually the fastest thing we can do for a local business.
Do you work with my trade?
Probably. Most of our work is home services and local trades. If it is something unusual, say so on the call and we will tell you straight if we are the wrong fit.
What is the pricing and profit review?
We sit down with your job list and your prices. We work out what each kind of job really costs you and really pays you. You leave with a price list you can defend, the jobs worth chasing, and the ones to stop taking. Flat price, one engagement, in writing. We are not accountants and we do not touch investments or taxes. This is about pricing your work.
I have a problem that is not on this list.
Tell us what slows you down. Our toolkit runs deep: AI video, product photos, ad creative, and custom software for the odd cases. We will set up the right tool, or tell you straight if we are the wrong fit.
Don’t get left behind.
A missed call turns into someone else’s customer. One call, plain answers, and you see the plan before you commit.
