When a customer searches nearby, you're either on the map or invisible.

I build professional websites and rank businesses on Google and in AI search, Search, Maps, and tools like ChatGPT, so when someone nearby looks for what you do, your name is the first one they see. Serving practices and small businesses across Central Texas.

One person who builds it, ranks it, and answers the phone. No agency runaround.

What we do
This is the spot I get you to, and keep you in.

Most local businesses aren't losing to better competitors. They're losing to ones that are easier to find.

Nearly every customer checks online before they call, and more are asking AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews for a recommendation. If your site is dated, or your business doesn't show up on the map or in those answers, they book the place that does, usually within the same minute.

What's a Google Business Profile?

It's the free Google listing that puts your business on Google Maps and in the local "near me" results, with your hours, photos, reviews, and one-tap call or directions. For most local businesses it's the very first thing a customer sees, so getting it set up and optimized is one of the biggest wins for showing up. Every website build above includes your Google Business Profile setup, or a full tune-up if you already have one.

How it works

Three steps. No jargon, no lock-in.

STEP 01

Free visibility check

I look at how your business shows up today (site, Google listing, reviews) and send you a short, plain-English rundown of what's costing you customers.

STEP 02

Build & list

I build (or refresh) the site and get your business listed correctly across Google and the directories that feed local search.

STEP 03

Maintain & grow

Each month I keep everything accurate, push your reviews and ranking, and send a simple report on what's working.

About

You work with the person who actually does the work.

RankCTX is a one-person studio based in Central Texas. No call center, no junior handed your account, no monthly invoice for work nobody can explain. I build the site, I manage your search presence, and I'm the one who picks up when you have a question.

I'm a Texas A&M student with six years in media management and over 400,000 impressions in the last year, so getting local businesses seen is what I do. Most owners are great at their craft and stretched too thin to fight with Google. That part is my job, so you can stay focused on yours.
