A St. Louis studio for websites and local search
Most people find a business the same way now: they search Google or ask an AI, and they pick from what shows up. Either you appear or someone else does.
We help you appear. That is the whole of SEO: a website that says plainly what you do, a Google listing that matches it, and pages that answer the questions people ask. You don’t rent any of it like an ad. It stays yours and keeps working while you run your business.
Business, church, startup, nonprofit, artist: the payoff is the same. We help you build your online footprint & bring the traffic to you on a platform you own. We don’t promise rankings, but we do show you the changes we made each month.
Prices are posted. Your website, domain, content, and Google accounts are yours from day one. Registered nonprofits get 15% off the monthly local search price.

FAQ
What does Jamison Software Solutions do?
We build your website and do the steady work that gets you found on Google when someone nearby searches for what you do. That is where most of the calls start. Showing up there is also what earns you a mention when someone asks an AI assistant like ChatGPT who to call, so that comes included, not as a separate sell. One developer, plain prices, and everything we build belongs to you.
I've tried SEO or marketing before and it didn't pay off. Why would this be different?
Fair, and a lot of that money does get spent with nothing to show. Usually that is because showing up on Google is only the first part. Getting found brings people in; your website still has to turn them into calls, and a phone nobody answers loses them after that. Most owners were only ever sold the first part. We work the whole path. We still won’t promise you’ll rank, because no one honestly can, but you will always see exactly what changed.
I get most of my business from word of mouth. Do I really need this?
Word of mouth is the best kind of business, and we would never try to replace it. Here is the thing, though: even when someone is told to call you, most people look you up on Google first. If a competitor shows up and you don’t, sometimes that referral ends up calling the competitor instead. Being easy to find just makes sure the people already sent your way actually reach you.
Do you guarantee I'll show up on Google or get picked by AI assistants?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google and the AI assistants are run by other companies and change their rules often. We do the work that is known to help and report on it honestly. We do not guarantee a ranking, a traffic number, a number of calls, or an AI mention. What we promise is the work and a straight account of what it moved.
How does the pricing work?
The website is one payment: $100 covers a website with hosting and 1 new article a month, and $500 adds appointment booking via Cal.com, set up for you. On-site AI chat, built on Claude, is an add-on to any paid plan at $100 a month. Changes and extra work after launch are $75 an hour; requests queue up and we deliver them together in a monthly change window. The full local SEO program is a monthly founding price starting at $400, month to month; we only ask that you give it about 90 days, because the work takes time to compound.
Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?
Yes, for the local SEO plans. Managing your profile and responding to reviews only works if you grant us access, which we walk you through at onboarding; it takes a few minutes and the profile stays in your name. Every review response is drafted, then approved by a person before it posts, usually within 72 hours. If you’d rather not grant access, the rest of the program still runs; we will be plain about what that leaves out.
Will I own my website and accounts?
Yes, all of it, from day one. Your website, your domain name, your content, and your Google accounts are yours and stay in your name. If you ever decide to leave, you take the whole site with you and nothing stops working; nothing of yours is ever held hostage.
What is it like to work with you?
Quiet and steady. You talk with the person doing the work, not an account manager. We start by learning how your business actually runs, the parts you’re proud of and the parts that eat your week, and we build around that. You never have to learn our vocabulary; we report in yours.
What about AI assistants like ChatGPT?
They matter, and they are growing, but we keep them in perspective. In SOCi’s 2026 study of big multi-location brands, ChatGPT recommended only about 1.2% of their locations; even household names mostly get skipped, and the ones that do get named already show up well on Google. So the honest way to get picked by AI is to earn it by doing the local work well. That work is part of every plan, and we won’t oversell it.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Local ones, and we mean that broadly: if your customers find you by searching nearby, the method fits. We don’t think there is such a thing as a generic business. Each one runs on its owner’s way of doing things, so we start by learning yours and build from there.
Is there any work you won't take?
Yes. We don’t work with cryptocurrency or NFT projects, multi-level marketing, adult content, firearms sales, or businesses under active regulatory action. If you are not sure your business fits, send a note and we will be honest about whether we are a match.
What should I look for when choosing a web designer near me?
Ask three things before you sign anything: who owns the site and the domain when the work is done, whether you will see real numbers each month, and whether the price already includes the local search work or bills it separately later. A designer worth hiring shows you real client sites, not templates, and gives you the full price in writing up front. That is the same bar we hold ourselves to here.
How much does a new website or a redesign cost?
One payment: $100 for a working site with hosting included, or $500 to add appointment booking, set up for you. Changes after launch are $75 an hour, delivered in a monthly change window. If you’d rather start with an hour of advice, a consultation is $125.
Can a local web design or SEO company guarantee I'll rank on Google?
No honest one can. Google runs its own ranking system and changes it often; nobody outside Google controls where you land. Be wary of anyone who promises a specific spot or a set number of leads. What a good local shop can promise is the work itself, done well and reported honestly, which is what actually moves rankings over time.
