00/FERN LOCAL SITE

I build local directory sites, one trade in one city.

Done for you, built the same way dentistsinlosangeles.com was built: a real database, low or zero infrastructure cost, and a push-to-deploy setup that keeps it cheap to run. Nearly 600 dentist profiles, run by one person in about two hours a week. That is the machine. I point it at your trade and your city.

01/WHAT IS INCLUDED

Seeded listings

A real, populated directory on day one, not an empty shell.

Area and neighborhood pages

A page per area so the site ranks for local searches.

An emergency / utility page

The page people actually search for at 2am.

Claim-your-listing + contact

So the businesses themselves can take over their page and reach you.

Typical delivery: about two weeks.

02/PRICE BANDS

Starter

around $750 to $1,500

A lean seeded site with a capped page count. The fastest way to a live, useful directory.

Standard

around $2,500 to $3,500

More area pages, deeper data seeding, and basic on-page SEO.

Care plan

around $150 to $300 / mo

Hosting and uptime monitoring, plus a manual data refresh on a set schedule. Optional, and only what I can actually deliver by hand today.

Bands, not final quotes. The real number depends on the trade, the city, and how many pages you want. We settle it in one short conversation before anything starts.

03/QUESTIONS
What exactly do I get?
A real, populated directory on day one, not an empty shell. Area and neighborhood pages so the site ranks for local searches, the emergency or utility page people actually search for, and a claim-your-listing flow so the businesses themselves can take over their page and reach you.
How much does it cost?
Three bands, not final quotes: Starter is around $750 to $1,500, Standard is around $2,500 to $3,500, and an optional Care plan runs around $150 to $300 a month. The real number depends on the trade, the city, and how many pages you want, and we settle it in one short conversation before anything starts.
How long does it take?
Typical delivery is about two weeks from the time we agree on the trade, the city, and the page count.
What does it cost to run each month?
It is built for low or zero infrastructure cost. The directory of nearly 600 LA dentists this is modeled on runs on a free database and a one-dollar domain, and one person keeps it current in about two hours a week.
Can the businesses update their own listings?
Yes. Claim-your-listing lets a business take over its own page, keep its details current, and send inquiries straight to you.
Do you only build directories for dentists?
No. Dentists in LA is the proof that the machine works. I point the same setup at your trade and your city, whatever it is.
04/START A BUILD

Tell me the trade and the city.

A couple of lines is plenty: what you do, where, and what you are hoping the site does for you. I read every note myself and write back, usually within a day or two.
