Get more customers.
I build your website and fix your Google listing so people nearby call you first.
Gates gave us options and was patient with every change. So smooth from start to finish.
Three things decide who gets the call.
A good-looking website doesn't help if nobody finds it, and a top spot on the map is wasted if the website sends people away. I handle all three so they work together.
Reading the map at the top of this page
- In the top three: the first businesses people see.
- Showing up, but below the top three.
- Buried. People scroll past before they get to you.
Local SEO
Show up when they search.
I find out what people around here actually type, then build the pages and fix the technical side so Google knows exactly what you do and where you do it.
That covers keyword research, service pages, site speed, page titles, schema, and making sure your business info matches everywhere online.
Google Business Profile
Get into the map pack.
The map with three businesses at the top of local results is where a lot of calls start. I fill out and clean up your profile and keep it active, which gives you a real shot at one of those spots.
I also pick the right categories and services, add photos and posts, and help you get more reviews from happy customers.
Your website
Turn the visit into a call.
I design a fast site for phones and write the words on it, so visitors can call, book, or ask for a quote in one tap.
I also handle hosting and keep the site updated after launch.
Built for businesses right here.
A story-driven site for a family-owned drywall business, with a project gallery and a free estimate form. Now getting found for local drywall searches.
I'm so grateful for Gates's skills! We'd wanted a website for our small family business for a while, but it felt overwhelming because we didn't know exactly what we wanted or how long it would take. Gates gave us options and was patient with every change. So smooth from start to finish. Talk to Gates and make it happen with him!

Founder, Alpaca Digital
Hi, I'm Gates. You'll work with me directly.
I started Alpaca Digital because I kept seeing great local businesses stuck with websites that didn't bring them customers. Some looked dated. Others looked fine but never showed up when people searched.
So I do the whole job: the site, the words on it, the SEO, and your Google Business Profile. When all of it points the same way, more people find you and more of them call.
There's no account manager or support queue in between. If something on your site needs to change after launch, you text me and I fix it.

Get my free visibility auditQuestions owners ask me.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what your business needs. Some businesses need a new website, and others only need their Google Business Profile fixed. The audit is free, and after it I'll give you a straight quote for the work that would make the biggest difference.
Can you guarantee I'll be #1 on Google?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that, because Google decides the rankings. What I can do is fix the things Google looks at, like your profile, your reviews, your website, and whether your business info matches everywhere. Then I show you where you stand with real numbers from Google.
How long until I see results?
Some fixes, like a broken contact form or a missing phone number, help the day they go live. Rankings usually take a few months to move. After the audit I'll tell you what to expect for your business.
I already have a website. Do I need a new one?
Not always. If your site loads fast on a phone and makes it easy to call you, I'll leave it alone and work on your Google presence instead. The audit shows which one is holding you back.
Do you only work with Rochester businesses?
I'm based in Rochester and most of my work is local search, so nearby businesses are where I can help the most. If you're somewhere else, send me your business anyway and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm a good fit.
Someone nearby is searching for what you do today.
Find out if they can find you. Send me your business and I'll put together a free visibility audit. You'll hear back from me within one business day.
