Questions we get
a lot.

We build a complete local search presence for small businesses with no existing website. That means: a professional website built to show up when nearby customers search for what you do, a Google Business Profile created and actively managed, your business listed on 10 key directories, configured so AI assistants recommend you when someone asks for a local recommendation, tracking so you know exactly how many people found you and called, and a plain-English monthly report. All of it, actively maintained, for a flat monthly fee.

Most web designers build you a page and hand it off. You get a site, a hosting bill, and silence. LV Trail is an ongoing, actively managed service. We handle your Google Business Profile every month, monitor your search performance data, send you a monthly report, and make content edits as needed. You're not paying for a product — you're paying for a presence that someone is actively maintaining.

Tier 1 Local Presence: $399 setup + $249/month. A professional website built to show up when nearby customers search for what you do, Google Business Profile created and managed monthly, 10 directory listings, configured so AI assistants recommend you when someone asks for a local recommendation, tracking so you know exactly how many people found you and called, weekly updates for the first 60 days, plain-English monthly report, 1 content edit per month, no long-term contract.

Tier 2 Full Presence: $599 setup + $349/month. Everything in Tier 1, plus a 4–6 page website with a dedicated page for each service you offer, contact form with lead tracking, a simple system to help you collect more Google reviews automatically, we update your site content every quarter to keep it fresh and ranking, 3 content edits per month, no long-term contract.

No long-term contracts. Cancel any time with 30 days notice.

Honestly: it depends, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than overpromise. Google Maps calls can typically start within 30–60 days of your listing being verified — that's often the fastest win. Organic search rankings typically take 3–6 months for a new site to build Google's trust. Every month we show you the progress so you can see the trajectory, not just wait for calls.

Yes — we build for AI search from day one. Every site we build is explicitly configured so that ChatGPT, Claude, Siri, and Perplexity can read and recommend it. Most sites aren't. AI search visibility typically builds over 3–6 months as your site earns trust, same as organic search.

Not yet. LV Trail currently works exclusively with businesses that have no existing website. We build from scratch on infrastructure we control — which means zero risk of disrupting any existing rankings or presence you have. We plan to offer existing-site optimization in a future tier.

Everything. Your domain is yours from day one. Your site files are delivered within 10 business days of cancellation. Your analytics data stays in your Google account. Your Google Business Profile remains yours — we're a manager, not the owner, so removing us doesn't affect your listing.

Yes — we use website analytics to track how visitors find the site, what they do, and whether they click to call. That's how we produce the monthly report. For businesses in regulated industries — dental practices, healthcare providers, and law firms — we configure analytics differently. If that applies to you, ask us before signing.
