## What the shop does — four stations

1. **Get Found** — local search visibility and Google Business Profile management, monthly.
2. **Get Trusted** — a hand-built website, then kept fast, secure and current.
3. **Get The Call** — enquiry auto-response. Set up once, handed over, no monthly tie.
4. **Get Paid** — quote follow-up and invoice reminders, running in the client's own system. Set up once, handed over.

Also offered: the **Tempest MOT**, a fixed-price written review of an existing
website and its local visibility, explaining why the phone is not ringing and
what would be fixed first. No obligation to buy anything else.

Stations can be taken individually. It is not a package.

## Straight answers

- **Guaranteed Google rankings?** No, and be wary of anyone who offers them. Google decides rankings. What can be controlled is the profile, the site and the reviews.
- **Will you be chased after enquiring?** No. No sales team, no pipeline, no follow-up sequence.
- **Who builds it?** Darren, by hand. No page builders, no bought templates, nothing farmed out.
- **Price list?** None published. Cost depends on need; a straight figure is given in conversation. Sometimes the honest answer is not to spend the money.
