The upgrade
Your old site is costing you the job.
Slow load times, broken layouts on mobile, a contact form nobody trusts — customers bounce before they ever call. Here’s what changes when MCG takes over.
Before
The site you’re embarrassed to send people to
- Slow to load, worse on mobile
- Outdated design that undersells the work
- Nobody at the wheel — updates take weeks
- Invisible in local Google & AI search results
After MCG
A site that works as hard as you do
- Loads in under 2 seconds, every device
- Built to convert visitors into calls and leads
- Unlimited updates, 12-hour average turnaround
- Optimized for Google and AI search visibility

What we do best
Three things, done relentlessly well.
We don’t spread thin across twenty services. We build the site, get it found, and put paid attention behind it — then manage all three so you don’t have to think about any of it.
01
Website Design & Development
A site that loads in under 2 seconds, works on every phone in the truck, and actually turns visitors into calls — not a template with your logo pasted on.
Premium Managed Hosting Included02
Local & Technical SEO
We get you ranking in your service area on Google — and now showing up when people ask ChatGPT and AI search who to call, not just who’s paying for ads.
Built for AI Search Visibility03
Digital Marketing & Paid Ads
Paid campaigns, social, photo and video content — built to feed the website and the phone, not just rack up impressions nobody can spend.

It was a pleasure to work with Ben to create a new clean website. His creativity and marketing prowess was invaluable in the process. He is local and very accessible to assist with any problem or concern. If you are looking to update your current business website or start from scratch on a new one I couldn't recommend McGinnisMade more.
