What a Red Pen Review looks like: the problems costing you customers, marked up and ranked.

Where customers slip away

Four leaks. Most owners never see them happen.

Nobody calls to say they gave up on you. They go quiet and pick someone else. Here’s where it happens, and what I build to stop it.

01The leak

They search for you and find someone else.

Someone types what you do into their phone. If you aren't on the map with photos, hours and reviews, they never knew you were an option.

Leaking

The fix

Show up first, looking like you mean it.

Your Google Business Profile set up properly, a site built around what people here actually search for, and your hours, photos and reviews right where they look.

02The leak

They find your website, squint, and leave.

It loads slow, it's tiny on a phone, and the price or the booking button is three taps deep. Nobody calls to ask. They hit back.

Leaking

The fix

A site that does the selling for you.

Built for the phone first and fast. Prices, hours and the next step sit right on the screen, so booking, ordering or calling takes one tap.

03The leak

They call while you're busy with a customer.

You can't pick up halfway through a haircut or a delivery. By the time you call back, they've booked whoever answered.

Leaking

The fix

Every caller gets an answer, even when you can't.

A missed call gets a friendly text back with a link to book. Bookings land straight in your calendar. Common questions get answered on the site before anyone has to ask.

04The leak

Sunday night goes to Monday's paperwork.

Confirming appointments, chasing invoices, asking for reviews, copying names into a spreadsheet. None of it is hard. All of it lands on you.

Leaking

The fix

The busywork runs itself while you're off.

Reminders, follow-ups and review requests send on their own. New customers land in one list. You check it when you feel like it, not because you have to.

Sound familiar?

Let’s find the leak that’s costing you the most.

    The quote is the invoice. No hourly billing, no surprise line items.

    If I miss the launch date in writing, for reasons on my end, you don't pay for the build.

Who you’d work with

Hi, I’m Ashton. I live here too.

I handle the online side for the outfitters, salons, shops, ranches and restaurants between Missoula and Darby: websites, Google listings, booking and the tools behind them.

No account managers, no offshore team, no ticket queue. I’ll sit down with you in person, you deal with me from the first look to launch day, and if something breaks I’m close by.

Questions

Fair questions.

The ones owners ask at the first coffee. Anything else, just ask.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Maybe not. A Red Pen Review tells you what's actually costing you customers. Sometimes that's a rebuild, and sometimes it's three changes to the site you already have.

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?

You can, and for some businesses that's the right call. What you'd pay me for is the part they don't do: knowing what goes on the page, getting you on the map, and wiring up booking and text-back so the site brings work in. You still own all of it.

I'm not a tech person. Will I be able to run it?

You don't need to be. I set everything up, show you the two or three things you'll actually use, and handle the rest. If you'd rather never log in, the monthly plan covers small edits.

What if you get busy or disappear?

Everything is in your name from the first day: domain, hosting, accounts and files. Any capable developer could pick it up, and I'll hand over whatever they need.

Do I have to pay monthly?

No. The monthly plans are optional. They cover hosting, updates, backups and small changes. Cancel any time and you keep everything.

How long does it take?

Most websites go live in about three weeks. A single automation is often done in one or two. You get a launch date in writing with the quote.

Do you only work in the Bitterroot?

The valley comes first, from Darby to Missoula, and I'm happy to sit down in person. Most of the work happens over email, so businesses elsewhere are welcome too.
