WHAT WE DO
Three core services every small business must get right.
We are your designer, IT engineer, developer, copywriter and the AI guy.
Website + Hosting, SEO Article Copywriting, AI Voice & Chat. Pick one, two or all three. Each takes a job off your plate and keeps doing it every month, no reminders needed. And all three together cost a fraction of what you'd pay one employee.
THE NUMBERS BEHIND IT
51%
of customers stop at the first business they reach. If you don't pick up, they don't call twice.
$67
is what one local lead costs on Google today. A site and Maps listing that rank bring them in free.
15%
of the qualified leads Google sends to local businesses come from the Google Maps listing. No ad spend.
23%
come from the business's own website in organic search. Also no ad spend.
47%
of customers won't use a business with fewer than 20 reviews. 68% only pick 4 stars and up.

Website + Enterprise Hosting
We redesign, host and look after your website for one simple monthly fee. You don't pay a cent until it's approved and ready to blow your mind. Don't love it? Walk away. We'll be sad, but we'll live.
A website deal that finally makes sense. We build your custom site for free, then host and manage it while you get back to running your business. No risk. No contract. No fine print, because there's no print.
Before your site goes live, it passes a 166-step checklist. The highlights:
A look at your niche and your Google Maps listing, with a free score
Custom website design, not a template in a fake mustache
Static and dynamic pages
Engineering and development
HTTPS and Cloudflare protection
Structured data Google can read
SEO setup and configuration
Analytics installed and tracking
Lead forms that actually reach your phone
Standards checks and a 100/100 PageSpeed target
That's 10. The other 156 are less exciting to read and just as important to do.
Where customers research your company before they call.
Before they pick up the phone, people check you in three places: Google search, Google Maps and your own website. Rankhand improves all three, so wherever they look, you come out on top.

SEO Article Content for Your Website
Get found on Google and in AI answers. A website without proper structured data, SEO, and rich in keywords or phrases your customers actually search for is a website they won't find. We didn't crack some secret code. We just know SEO, and we've been doing it for over 25 years.
Every month we write long, genuinely useful articles for your website, built around what people in your area actually search for. Google ranks pages that answer real questions. AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews quote sources that are clear, well structured and trustworthy. Publish good articles steadily, and you become that source for your trade in your town.
That's topical authority, and it compounds: more pages ranking, more questions answered, more sites linking to you. Each article is written to show real experience and expertise, the E-E-A-T signals Google looks for, and formatted so its answer can be lifted straight into a featured snippet or an AI summary.
What we do for you:
Keyword research for your niche
Topic proposals you approve
Long-form articles written for your customers
SEO formatting, built for snippets and AI answers
Published straight to your site
Rankings monitored, articles improved over time
You run the business. We'll be the ones who enjoy writing 1,500 words about panel upgrades.
Slow for six months. Then the cheapest local leads you will ever get.
SEO compounds. Every article keeps working the month after we write it, so year 3 brings more than years 1 and 2 put together, and years 4 and 5 keep climbing. The owners who lose are the ones who quit in months 3 to 6, right before it starts paying.

GOOGLE MAPS
Your Maps listing brings in a third of Google sales. Reviews decide which local businesses get them.
Leads from your Maps listing turn into paying jobs more often than any other Google source. And customers pick from the listing with the freshest reviews. A steady stream of new reviews does more for you than a perfect 5.0 from three years ago.

HOW WE KEEP THE REVIEWS COMING
1
The job is done. Your AI marks it complete in the inbox.
2
The AI sends a thank-you by text and email, with a one-tap link to your Google review page.
3
A gentle reminder goes out a few days later if they haven't had a chance yet.
4
New reviews land every week, and your account manager replies to each one on your behalf.
We ask every customer, the way Google's review rules require. Happy customers are simply the ones who answer.

AI Voice and Chat for Your Business
They ask in chat. They call for details. They want it confirmed by email. Somewhere in that back-and-forth, how many customers are you losing?
Customers reach you from everywhere: Calls, Texts, WhatsApp, Email, Facebook and Instagram, TikTok, your website chat, even someone walking into the shop. We pull all of it into one team inbox, with an AI that answers instantly, day or night, so nobody gets left on read. We feed and train the AI on your business: your methods, your standard of service, your rates, your routines and the way you talk to customers. Within a few weeks it knows your business inside out and answers the way you would.
Every conversation lands in one screen, attached to a clean customer profile that syncs with your CRM, with automated follow-ups so every lead gets a next step. We've partnered with respond.io, the AI communication platform, and connect it to your tools through our own integrations platform. You get a ready-to-go system, not a DIY kit.

Challenge our AI for yourself.
Test our AI communications platform for free. Call it or chat with it, right now. You'll get a real idea of what we can do.
Google, Bing and AI chats rank the local businesses they trust. We build that trust.
We keep feeding search engines quality long-form content, published on your own domain and on third-party publishers. Month by month, your site climbs the rankings and your domain rating grows.
We write for your site.
2 to 8 articles a month, depending on your plan, written for the jobs you want: "panel upgrades in Denver", not "electrical services". Each one answers what your customers actually search for. Every gap we close brings more impressions, more clicks and more customers. Growing a site's ranking across Google, from search to Maps to AI answers, is a big job with a lot of moving parts, and every one of them has to be done right. That's the part we take off your hands.
We find publishers to feature your content.
We craft stories that news outlets, journalists and data publishers actually want to run. At least one story about your business every month on powerful, authoritative publisher sites (DR 25 to 60). Real editorial pages that link back to you, not a link farm. The more articles published on third-party sites, the more your domain rating grows. For faster growth, we suggest 4 to 8 published articles a month.
Google connects the dots.
Fresh pages on your site plus links from established news sites tell Google you're active, local and real. That's what moves rankings.
Customers contact. We answer.
More people find you on Maps and in search. The site books them, and the AI picks up when you can't. Zero lost conversations, higher efficiency and a lot more business. That has to count for something. At the very least, you finally get to finish your lunch.

WHY IT MATTERS
Your current contractors.
Getting these services from different places is a costly, time-consuming burden. And if you already have them in place, the questions that matter most:
?Are you happy with your guys?
?Can you tell exactly what they did, and what it brought in?
?What's your return on what you pay them?
?When did they last update your site, content or AI, the way your agreement says they should?
?How much energy do you spend coordinating them?
?How long does it take to get a single change done?
Rankhand takes your requests 24/7, and most changes are live within 4 hours. Bigger jobs take a little longer, and we'll tell you how long before we start. And every change is free. The only price is finding a free minute to tell us what you want, which, let's be honest, is the most expensive thing on this whole page.

RANKHAND RESEARCH
What we see on Google Maps, city by city.
Real listings, counted by hand. Every metro gets its own report, with numbers for your trade.
Yes. We build it before you pay anything. If you don't like it, you owe nothing and we delete it.
What happens after I approve the demo?
It goes live on your domain within 48 hours. Your first 30 days on the website plan are free.
Do I own my website?
You own your domain and all your content. If you leave, we hand you an export of the site.
What happens to my articles and backlinks if I cancel?
The articles on your own site are yours. The stories we place on our news network stay live as long as you're subscribed.
Will the AI say something wrong to my customers?
It only answers from the information you approve: your services, prices, hours and area. Anything else, it takes a message and texts you.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. We forward your existing number to the AI, or give you a new local number. Your choice.
Do you guarantee I'll be #1 on Google?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. We guarantee the work: your profile managed weekly, your articles published, and a report every month.
Is there a contract?
Websites and AI Front Desk are month to month. Growth has a 3-month minimum, because Google takes time to respond.
I'm a chiropractor or med spa. What about HIPAA?
Our Front Desk plan includes a signed Business Associate Agreement.
Can I call you?
We work in writing: email, chat or text. Every request gets a written answer within [4 business hours], and you always have a record of what was agreed.
Do you work with businesses outside Denver?
Yes, anywhere in the US.
