Made in Detroit.
Found in every town you serve.
Google Maps puts you in front of your own town. It can't reach the other eight you drive to — for that you need a website Google's AI will quote by name. Search your trade and any town you serve. Count how many results answer the question instead of running an ad. The site costs nothing to build.

What we do
Three ways to get found.
On the map in your own town. In AI answers for the towns you drive to. And a website that holds up when they land on it. The split is roughly 60/40 right now — Google search and AI — and it's moving fast.
01
Show up on Google Maps in your own town
The map is where someone with a flooded basement looks first. Most shops leave the profile half-built — wrong categories, no service areas, photos from 2019. Fastest thing to fix. Cheapest, too.
- Categories and service areas set correctly
- Posts, photos, and questions answered
- Review responses drafted for you
- Position measured from a neutral point, not your shop
02
Get named in the AI answer, in the next town over
Google Maps ranks you on proximity. AI ranks you on what your page says. That's the gap between owning one town and reaching ten. Ask ChatGPT who does what you do in a town you serve. See whose name comes back.
- Service pages built once, then kept current
- Written as the question, answered with numbers
- Structured data deep enough to be read
- A maintained
/llms.txt, included not upsold
03
The website underneath
The site is what makes the other two work, so it's built at no cost. Fast on a phone in a parking lot. Usable on a screen reader — which keeps you clear of the accessibility lawsuits hitting small businesses right now.
- Custom design, no templates
- Sub-second load times
- Booking and quote forms
- Accessibility defects fixed, not covered with a widget

Demo builds
What does a build look like?
Three demo builds — real trades, invented shops. This is the standard a paying client gets, built the same way. No client's name goes on this page until they say yes.
Drains · Sewer
Metro Drain Specialists
The page descends from the pavement to the sewer main, and every job is priced by how deep it sits.
HVAC · Maintenance plan
Fourteen Mile Heating & Cooling
Built on the real temperature curve for metro Detroit, so the year sells the plan instead of the emergency.
Landscaping · Seasonal
Greenline Lawn & Landscape
One scrolling story, summer lawns into winter snow, so a homeowner sees they only hire once.
How it works
Garage-built, in three weeks.
Same process every build.
Walk the shop
We learn how your business actually runs — who calls, what they want, where the time goes.
Draw it up
A site design and an automation plan, mapped out before a line of code. You sign off on everything.
Wire it up
We build the site and connect the autopilots — booking, follow-ups, reviews, reporting.
Hand over the keys
Live in about three weeks. We stick around to tune it and keep it humming.
About the studio
One client.
Full attention.
I'm Matt Garvin. I spent 20 years building software for NASA and the Fortune 500 — research tools, not websites. Got a master's from the University of Michigan in how humans and computers work together. Michigan born and raised.
Now I design websites for plumbers and restaurants in Metro Detroit. The shops that need good web design the most keep getting the worst version of it — the guy who ghosted and kept the site, the agency that handed the job to a junior the day the check cleared, the builder who gave you a template, one round of edits, and called it done. You work with me. Not a team. Not a handoff.
My degree is in how humans and intelligent systems work together. I've built with AI professionally for years. When I wire automation into your shop, I know what's under the hood — it's not a widget I bought.
I build for trades, restaurants, and professional offices across Royal Oak, Ferndale, Birmingham, and Metro Detroit.
The honest difference
Why not a builder, or the cheap guy?
A template site costs less up front, and for some businesses that is the right call. Here is the honest difference.
A builder hands you a layout from a gallery, one round of revisions, and a support line. After that you maintain it, or you pay a monthly care plan every time something needs to change. Nobody on the other end knows your shop — and the website is where it ends. No missed-call text back. No follow-ups. No review engine.
Here, you get a site designed around how your business actually runs, the automation wired in behind it, and one person who stays. I build it, I tune it, and I pick up when you call. You're hiring a studio, not renting a template.
Not sure which you need? That's what the free audit is for. I'll give you an honest read, even if the answer is a builder.
