Local businesses, Klamath County · booking new projects
One town. One category. One partner. I build it — you own it.
Every business is leaking customers somewhere. Usually the owner can feel it and can’t see it. I find where — the site, Google, the ads, the menu, the phone nobody answers at 5pm — and I fix the biggest one first. Then the next.
5.0 on GoogleBusinesses I've built for
Type in your business and I'll build you a Local-Visibility Scorecard by hand — where you stand on getting found, your reviews, your website, booking, and AI answers, plus the first thing I'd fix. I review every one personally, so it's accurate — not a robot's guess. Free, and yours before you owe me a thing.

Not just a website — your business's growth partner. You don't pick from a menu; we find the one or two things that'll actually move your business and I build those first. Here's the range, and you own everything I build.
By trade
Same toolbox, but the thing that moves a restaurant isn’t the thing that moves a gym. Pick yours and I’ll show you where it usually leaks, and the one thing I’d fix first. If your trade isn’t listed, it’s still the same job.
Restaurants & cafés
Ordering from your own site, straight to the kitchen screen — no app taking a cut of every ticket.
Restaurants →Auto shops & glass
A quote request that reaches you in the bay, and an answer that goes back before they ring the next shop.
Auto shops →Trades & home services
Every lead answered in seconds, day or night — because the one who replies first usually gets the job.
Trades & home services →Salons, nails & lashes
Booking at 11pm without you picking up. Half the people who want an appointment won’t leave a voicemail.
Salons & studios →Medical & dental
Intake forms and reminders instead of phone tag — and no public booking calendar you never asked for.
Practices →Shops & markets
Your stock online where people can check before driving over, plus gift cards that sell while you’re shut.
Shops & markets →Pet grooming & boarding
Self-booking with reminders the day before — the cheapest thing there is for cutting no-shows.
Pet services →Gyms & studios
Memberships that bill themselves, and win-backs for the people who quietly stopped coming.
Gyms & studios →CPAs, agents & attorneys
A client portal for documents and signatures, so nothing important lives in an email thread.
Professional practices →Not sure which is costing you most? The free Scorecard says so in 30 seconds →
How it works
One person does the work — the same person, every time. No account managers, no handoffs, no “wait, who's my contact now?” six months in.
You tell me what's broken. I check if your category is still open in your town. If it is, I tell you which plan fits — straight, no pitch deck.
Which plan, the scope, the timeline — one monthly price, the build included. No upfront check, no hourly billing, no change-order surprises. You say yes or no.
You see progress as it happens. I don't launch until you're happy. Once it's live, your category is locked — your competitor can't hire me.
Once I take you on, I'm out for your competitors. No nail salon two doors down hiring me a month after you. No second HVAC company in your metro getting my Google playbook. Your territory is locked — written into every contract.
If you're the diner I work with, I don't work with the diner across the street. Same goes for nail salons, HVAC, dentists, dispensaries — every category, one client.
Coverage zone is a 25-mile radius around your primary location, or your full metro area — whichever is larger. National brands lock the category outright.
Not a handshake. Not a "we'll see." A line in the agreement that says I won't take your competitor — for as long as you're a client.
Why I do it: the agencies that work with you and the four shops down the street are playing both sides. I can't do my best work split four ways. So I don't. One client, full force, every time.
And it compounds: because every client is in a different category, each one I take on is a referral partner for you, never a rival. The chiropractor's site links to the gym. The restaurant recommends the brewery. The bigger it gets, the more of that traffic moves between my clients — and none of it reaches your competition.
Free 15-min call. I'll tell you straight whether your spot is available — and who's already inside.
Steve
Founder, Rise Local
About
I'm first-generation Asian American.
I grew up around people who built a business out of nothing — a restaurant, a shop, a service run out of the garage. Local owners are my people, and helping them is the whole point.
When you hire me, you get me — not a team, not a project manager, not a ticket system. One person who handles the website, the marketing, and the things you didn't know were broken. One phone number. That's it.
— Steve
When I'm not building: gym before sunrise, competitive gaming at night, and chasing my daughter around in between.
What clients say
“I was starting my mobile RV repair business from scratch and Steve at Rise Local handled the entire launch for me. He built my website, got me set up online and on Google, helped me form my LLC, and put together a full marketing gameplan to actually bring in customers. I didn’t know the business or the online side at all, and he walked me through every piece of it — domain, branding, all of it.”
“It’s a very clean look that I wanted exactly how he made it and he was very transparent on assisting me on what I wanted. The website sends leads straight to my discord and email. Having clients sign up is also quicker with his product. Steve is working hard all by himself, he handles everything, and if I ever wanted to change something he instantly was there for me.”
“I own a digital marketing agency. I notice how people in this industry actually work — and most of them don’t. Steve at Rise Local is different. He’s not just building websites and hoping for the best. He’s handling your Google and Apple Maps presence, cleaning up your reviews, setting up booking systems, running ads, and meeting with you monthly to make sure everything keeps moving. That’s the full picture — not just one piece of it.”
My guarantee
If I don’t make you more than you pay me, you don’t pay.
I write down where you stand before I touch anything. Ninety days later we read the same numbers. That’s the whole test.
