Does your website work?

Most local service companies waste money on a website that doesn’t work.

It doesn't look appealing. It doesn't communicate what makes them special. It doesn't collect leads. It might as well just not exist.

This is unacceptable and just plain wrong!

At BrandNerd, we don't just throw together a website, launch it into cyberspace, and then abandon you. We help you develop a clear brand message and a powerful website that actually works.

We use a collaborative and pain-free process to create a website that fits you like a glove and turns browsers into buyers.

But that's not all!

After launching your website, we continue to help you grow your brand with ideal customers. Download the Local Service Brand Checklist to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been in business?

BrandNerd was founded in January 2017.

Do you provide a full suite of services?

We specialize in helping local service brands, and our services are tailored to them. Our clients work with us because we understand their challenges and don't try to sell them something they don't need.

Our in-house specialties include:

  • Strategy for local service brands.
  • Messaging using the StoryBrand Framework.
  • Copywriting for lead magnets, email marketing, advertisements, etc.
  • Graphic design like logos, branding, advertisements, and more.
  • Website development for semi-custom or full-custom websites.
  • Reputation management systems to get great customer reviews.
  • Videos for websites and social media.

We partner with trusted vendors for:

  • Paid ads on Google and social media.
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to rank higher on Google organically.

While we're at it, here are some things we don't do:

  • Social Media Management. (It's just not our thing.)
  • Big, complicated brand strategy projects that burn cash.
  • Small, one-off projects without an eye on long-term results.
How long does your typical project take?

Maybe this is obvious, but project length totally depends on what is in the scope. Some projects last two weeks while others can last up to 12.

For example, for a new, custom-designed website, you can expect to spend 2 weeks on strategy and messaging and another 2-6 weeks on design and development.

Project terms and scope of work are agreed to upfront and you're always in control of the project.

What do your services cost?

There are three types of BrandNerd services; consultations, projects, and retainers. We aim to do such a great job on your project that you bring us on as your agency of choice.

Consultation packages start from $1,500.

Project pricing ultimately depends on your goal but can range from $5,000 to $50,000.

Retainers start at $1,500 per month and can be customized to reach your long-term goals.

Tell us what you want to accomplish, and we can submit a proposal.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes and no. We offer payment options that can spread the cost of the project out over a few weeks or months. However, we are not a bank so we require payment in full before final deliverables.

Who keeps the rights to the work you do?

You will own all the work BrandNerd does for you.

BrandNerd only retains the right to display the completed work in our portfolio and third-party publications.
