Your Chief Web Officer.
Chief Web Officer is our full retainer. We build the site, get it found, put paid attention behind it, and run all of it, so you never have to think about any of it. You run the business; we run your web presence.
One team for all of it.
Most businesses juggle a web designer, a host, an SEO person and someone for ads. With Chief Web Officer, that is one team, and it is ours.
Your website, built and rebuilt
A custom, hand-built site that loads in under two seconds and works on every phone. When the business changes, the site changes with it.
Premium hosting and security
Best-in-class hosting, with updates, backups, security and speed handled in-house so nothing sits broken.
Unlimited updates
A new page, a new photo, a new offer: send it over. Changes come back in 12 hours on average, and nobody bills you per request.
Local SEO and AI search
We get you ranking in your service area on Google, and showing up when people ask ChatGPT and AI search for a recommendation.
Paid social and marketing
Campaigns, social, and the content behind them, built to feed the website and the phone, not to rack up impressions.
Photography and video
Shot by our own team, so your site and your ads show your real people and your real work.

We talk
Thirty minutes with Ben about where the business is and where you want it to go.
We build your plan
A plan written for your business, and a quote to match. Nothing off a price sheet.
We build and launch
The site, the search foundation and the first campaigns, done by our own team.
We run it
Every month after that, we keep all of it working and keep pushing it forward. You approve; we handle the rest.
We are Chief Web Officer for only a handful of businesses at a time, because we take on everything for them.
About Chief Web Officer
What does a Chief Web Officer do?
Everything a business would want from someone in charge of its website and marketing, without hiring one. We run the site, the hosting, search, AI visibility, campaigns and content, and we bring you the decisions that need your say.
How is Chief Web Officer priced?
Every plan is custom built, custom quoted and fully supported. Ben looks at what your business needs, then puts a plan and a quote in front of you.
Who will I work with?
Our own team in Steubenville, Ohio, with founder Ben McGinnis on your account. Nothing goes offshore. You can reach us at (740) 346-9737 or [email protected].
Can I start with just a website?
Yes. Plenty of clients start with one service and move to Chief Web Officer once they see how we work. Every service is also available on its own.
Is this the Battle Ready Plan?
Yes. Clients who have been with us a while know it as the Battle Ready Plan. Same plan, same team: we run all of it.
Why do you only take a few Chief Web Officer clients?
Because we handle everything for them. Keeping the number small is how every client gets the founder’s attention and a team that knows their business.
We don’t launch and leave.
We stay on after launch. We host it, keep it fast and secure, make your changes and redesign it when it’s time, so your site never looks like it was built years ago.
With us since 2020, the year we started
Each of these sites has been redesigned and rebuilt three or four times since, by the same team that built the first one.
Client since 2020 J. Riley Roofing Family-owned roofing and exteriors in Pickerington, Ohio. 
Client since 2020 Serenity Salon Full-service hair, nails and skin salon in Old Pickerington Village. 
Client since 2020 Pizzeria New York New York style pizza from a family recipe dating to 1969, in Pickerington and Blacklick. Built to win. Kept winning.
