We build and rank local sites that make your phone ring.

A web designer builds you a website and their job is basically done at launch — what happens after that isn’t generally their problem. We build the site and we’re on the hook for making it rank and produce calls. A regular website is a cost. Ours is built to be a lead source — if it’s not producing, that’s on us to fix. That said, we also do straight web design with no lead-gen component, for businesses that just want a great site.

Those platforms sell the same homeowner’s contact info to several businesses at once — you’re bidding against competitors for a lead that’s already gone cold by the third phone call. With Steady Stream, leads from your site are exclusive to you. No bidding war, no other business getting that same call — and instead of renting attention lead by lead, you benefit from a ranked local asset that keeps producing over time.

• Pay-per-qualified-call — you pay for calls that meet the definition of a qualified lead, not traffic or impressions.
• Pay-per-booked-appointment — you pay when a lead converts into an actual appointment on your calendar.

Once a site is proven and producing consistently, a flat monthly rental or an outright purchase of the site and its rankings can become an option — that’s a later-stage conversation, not the starting point.

Pay-for-performance. No large upfront fee to get a site built and ranked — the risk of the build and the ranking climb sits with us, not you. You start paying once the site is actually producing qualified calls or appointments. If it doesn’t produce, we haven’t earned anything either — that’s the incentive alignment.

Honestly: local SEO takes time to compound. For most service areas and competition levels, expect roughly 4–6 months to reach meaningful, consistent traffic and lead volume. This isn’t a stall tactic — it reflects how long it genuinely takes for Google to build trust in a new or newly optimized site through content depth, citations, and GBP authority. We’d rather tell you that upfront than promise a fast ramp and let you down — and you’ll see progress along the way, not just silence until month five.

Yes. Every lead and every customer that comes from your site is yours — full stop. You keep the relationship, the repeat business, the reviews, all of it. We’re not resharing your leads or reselling your customer data to anyone.

Steady Stream builds, owns, and maintains the site and its rankings. You’re paying for the leads or appointments it produces — not the website itself. That’s actually an advantage early on: you’re not carrying the cost or risk of an unproven website asset. Down the road, once a site has a track record, a flat monthly rental or an outright purchase are both real options if you’d rather own or control the asset directly.

• In your actual service area — matched to your ZIP codes/coverage, not a call from three states away.
• Real intent — an actual person looking for the service you offer, not a wrong number, solicitation, or bot form-fill.
• A genuine consult or job inquiry — someone who wants to talk about a real project, not spam, a vendor pitch, or a test submission.

Anything that doesn’t meet that bar — spam, out-of-area contacts, wrong numbers, obvious junk — never counts toward what you pay for.

• Content depth — comprehensive pages that actually answer what people are searching, not thin one-paragraph blurbs.
• The question-page strategy — dedicated pages around the specific long-tail questions homeowners search in your area.
• Google Business Profile optimization — a fully built-out, active GBP tied to the site.
• Citations and NAP consistency — your business name, address, and phone listed consistently across the directories Google checks.
• Technical fundamentals — fast load times, mobile-friendly design, clean structure.

Yes — and this matters more than most business owners realize. We connect your GBP to boost the site’s local authority and unlock visibility in the Map Pack, often where the highest-intent local searches convert. If you don’t have a strong GBP yet — or don’t have one at all — we help build and optimize it as part of the process. It’s a core piece of the strategy, not an afterthought.

Every site uses a dedicated call-tracking number, which logs — and where set up, records — every inbound call, so there’s a real record of what came in, not a “trust us” situation. Form submissions and call logs feed into a shared inbox or reporting view both sides can see. You never have to take our word for lead volume — you can see it yourself.

Primarily home and local services — solar, restoration, roofing, plumbing, tree service, pest control, HVAC, and similar trades where local search intent is strong. We also do custom web design (no lead-gen component) for restaurants and other small local businesses that just want a strong site. If your business isn’t listed here but relies on local customers finding you, ask — the model can often still apply.

• Your service area — cities, counties, or ZIP codes you actually want to serve.
• The specific services you offer (and any you don’t, so we don’t send the wrong kind of lead).
• Your capacity — how much volume you can realistically handle.
• Your brand — logo, colors, business name, anything that should carry through.
• Access to (or help setting up) your Google Business Profile.
• The questions your customers actually ask — gold for the question-page strategy.

The model is built to be low-risk on your end. Because it’s pay-for-performance, you’re not locked into a long commitment just to see if it works. Specific terms are laid out plainly before you sign anything — no fine print designed to trap you.

A few layers work together: the site itself is written to attract the right searcher, the qualification criteria filter out spam and out-of-area contacts before they ever count against you, and call tracking lets us both see and review what’s actually coming in — so if quality slips, it gets caught and fixed, not ignored.

Yes. Custom web design is its own service, separate from the lead-gen model. If you want a professional, modern site for your restaurant or small business without the ongoing lead-generation piece, we build that too — same design quality, straightforward project-based pricing.

We’d rather show real, verifiable numbers than make claims we can’t back up. One example from our own portfolio: a tree-service site we built for the Tallahassee market currently ranks around #6 for “city of tallahassee tree removal” and has generated roughly 127 clicks and 9,075 impressions over a 90-day period for that keyword, per Google Search Console data. That’s one data point from one market, not a universal promise — every market, competition level, and niche is different, and we’ll always tell you what’s realistic for yours rather than borrow someone else’s result.

• Reach out and tell us your business, services, and target area.
• We’ll walk through the intake (service area, capacity, brand, GBP) together.
• We scope the plan and the payment model that fits your situation.
• We build and start ranking the site — you get visibility into progress along the way.
• Leads start landing on your calendar as the site ranks, tracked and reported so you can see exactly what’s working.
