Window tint & auto glass · Klamath Falls, OR

Epic Glass Tinting

One Klamath Falls shop doing window tint, windshields, auto glass and ceramic coating — 4.6 stars and 157 reviews since 2007. Everyone knew him for tint. Almost nobody could find the rest. So I built him a front door that sells all four trades, not just the one he’s known for — every service on its own page, the lifetime tint warranty leading, glass insurance handled for the customer, and a quote request that lands with him in the shop instead of a voicemail box. The higher-ticket work finally has somewhere to send people.

Every service he sells, finally on the page

Nail salon · Spring Hill, FL

US Nails

One of the oldest salons in Spring Hill, up against newer shops winning on social. I built the site, then the machinery underneath it: a review system that walks happy customers to Google and routes unhappy ones to her privately first, a booking system she owns outright with no per-booking fees, and an auto-poster that keeps her work showing up on Facebook, Instagram and Google without her touching it. Her reviews are moving again, and the tools run whether she has time for them or not.

Reviews flowing — and a real fighting chance

Asian market · Redding, CA

Kanya Market

A family-run Asian market with a Thai and Lao kitchen inside — 4.5 stars and 302 reviews, more than every competitor in Redding combined. I put the whole store online: 13 department pages, 362 items, and a “do you have it?” finder so someone can check before driving across town. Then I rebuilt what Google and Yelp actually show — her profile, the categories she was filed under, and photographs of every department — so the store people find matches the store she runs.

Listings rebuilt — and the whole store, online

Mobile RV repair · Spring Hill, FL

RV There Yet

Anthony is a Marine veteran and a dealer-trained RV tech who went out on his own. The local dealership makes owners wait three weeks; he comes to the driveway instead. I built him the whole business, not just a website — the LLC and licensing path, flat-rate pricing he can quote from memory, a compliance checklist, and the launch site that carries it: published prices, an online request form, service-area pages and a roof-and-inspection program. He opened with a front door most of his 18 competitors still don’t have.

Valorant coaching · Online

Ascend

A pro Valorant player turned coach, selling sessions one at a time with no way to grow past the hours in his day. I built him a business: a name and identity, a three-tier offer (free scouting, a monthly membership, and a premium rank-up path backed by a results guarantee), a Discord community that grants access automatically by tier, plus booking, payments and the playbook to fill it. He stopped trading hours for dollars and started running a platform.

What clients say

5.0 on Google, from the people I built for.

★★★★★

“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.”
